Fashion & costume design projects
Fashion design & styling
Bosch parade
For Bosch Parade 2026, I designed the costumes for The Inflatable Inquisition by Topsy Collective. Inspired by a bizarre historical animal trial, I created a colourful cast of theatrical outsiders using upcycled materials. A project where costume, performance, sustainability and imagination come together.

Collaboration
Jett Rebel
In 2023, artist Jett Rebel wore sustainable Stephastique creations during his tour and for his television appearance on the Christmas special of All You Need Is Love.
Custom designed statement pieces were styled to reflect his expressive stage presence while staying true to sustainable craftsmanship and conscious material use.

Project
Vermeer Recycle
For the Vermeer Recycle project, I got to create a sustainable, custom-made design inspired by Vermeer’s legacy. Using upcycled city banners from the 'Discover Vermeer’s Delft' campaign, I transformed these materials into a unique fashion piece. In collaboration with Delft Marketing and photographer Caroline Sikkenk, six designers were invited to give new life to these fabrics. My design was part of the exhibition at the Vermeer Center Delft.

Design for the Fashion Route
The Hague Fashion Week invited me to create a design for their 2024 Window & Fashion Route.
I used only secondhand materials — including a vintage biker jacket and a wedding dress — to craft a look that embodies both strength and femininity. The design was on display of the KiloKilo shop.
Custom made
Wedding dress
For Eva’s special day, I designed a custom wedding gown that combines timeless elegance with a modern, playful twist. The dress features a softly draped off-shoulder neckline, a fitted lace bodice, and a detachable overskirt made from satin. Underneath, a shorter skirt is attached to the bodice — allowing Eva to remove the long skirt after the ceremony and dance the night away in comfort and style.

Wedding dresses
I had the honour of designing these custom-made, sustainable wedding outfits – and even the floral details – for two wonderful brides. They were looking for something unconventional, feminine, colorful, and eco-conscious to wear on their special day. Just as important: the looks were designed to be worn and loved again 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.

Maybe Boozegeoisie
Drag royalty Maybe wanted something extravagant to wear with their Stephastique vest. So we came up with the idea of a crown made from fabric scraps to compliment their royalty and look very extra during their work at Huis73.

Eurovision Songfestival
Tracksuits made from colorful recycled flags for urban artists to wear during the Songfestival Avrotros kick off in collaboration with Studio VOLLAERSZWART.
The tracksuits also made an appearance in the promotional videos for the Rotterdam #SWINGALONG dance challenge during the Songfestival 2021. The tracksuits were part of the Rotterdam citydressing and were on display in De Bijenkorf Rotterdam.

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.

Partij voor de Dieren Noord-Holland
Partij voor de Dieren Noord-Holland politicians Ines Kostic, Jaap Hollebeek and Fabian Zoon were looking for a something special to wear during the ‘dag der begroting’. The custom made jackets represented their love for nature and the importance to stop deforestation. The jackets gave their statement an extra touch.
