'CTRL+C CTRL+V' by Elke van Zuylen

Please introduce yourself to our readers. 
My name is Elke van Zuylen. I’m 26 years old, from the Netherlands and just graduated from ABK Maastricht. I'm a fashion designer with a graphic design background, which has given me a very conceptual way of thinking in designing clothes. There has to be a story you want to tell, otherwise you can't get people sucked into your designs.

 Please introduce yourself to our readers. (Who are you, where do you come from and what is your field of specialization?)

I am a fashion designer with german roots currently based in Berlin, Germany. I recently graduated with an MA degree from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design in Copenhagen, Denmark. Before, I studied in the Netherlands where I completed my BA degree at the Academy of Fine Arts & Design in Maastricht. With a passion for fields that I know little about I like to explore new methods and techniques that inspire both silhouette and surface of my designs. I love projects that combine fashion with other disciplines like art or science. For my graduation collection VOID – Exp. No I I experimented with different laser cut techniques based on the concept of negative space.

Out of Fashion: Maastricht Edition

Out of Fashion: Maastricht Edition 14 May – 26 June 2011

From 14 May to 26 June 2011, NAiM/Bureau Europa is presenting Out of Fashion: Maastricht Edition. The project comprises an exhibition, a film programme and a series of events about the interaction between fashion and film. We can see how fashion houses, avant-garde designers and young, as yet unknown fashion designers utilize film, video and on-line media to give their designs form and to support their distribution and sales.

Designers agnès b. and Maison Martin Margiela have compiled a film programme of their own work especially for Out of Fashion and are showing an exclusive installation. In addition, work can be seen from designers including BLESS, Todd Cole, Prada, Freudenthal/Verhagen and Anna-Nicole Ziesche.

Out of Fashion: Maastricht Edition is the result of a collaboration between the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Premsela: the Netherlands Institute for Design and Fashion, Glamcult Studio and NAiM/Bureau Europa. The project is a sequel to Out of Fashion, compiled by Inge de Leeuw for the 40th edition of the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Exhibition design is by Glamcult Studio.

The opening of Out of Fashion: Maastricht Edition will take place on Saturday 14 May at 5 p.m.
