Wedding dresses
I had the honour to create these custom made sustainable wedding looks (and even flowers) for these lovely brides.
They wanted something nonconventional, feminine, colorful and sustainable to wear for their wedding. They also wanted to be able to wear the designs on other occasions.

Tent couture for Maybe Boozegeoisie! Maybe wanted an outfit that was wearable in multiple ways and that could be transformed. Something she could play around with. So I came up with this design made from an upcycled tent.

Milieudefensie
I got the honour to compose a suit for Milieudefensie.
The suit was part of the ‘big CEO’ character that represented all the large companies that have a big climate impact. Together with ‘Rutte’ he was seen barbecuing the earth during the Klimaatmars ’21.
We chose to use a vintage suit for this look and I made the patches using different colors of transfer foil and velt to create these sturdy patches.
The head and earth are created by another artist. I love how everything came together during the Klimaatmars ’21.

Liese
Liese was looking for a dress to wear to her brothers wedding. We decided on a pastel green fabric that would go nicely with her partners suit.
We wanted to achieve a look that would look elegant and classy. The dress is hugging her figure and has a large ruffle on the top, the length of the dress is just above the knees.
