MOAM collective international

Thursday evening 8 March 2018 MOAM collective international powered by Zalando showed her first international collection. 
The runway show took place in a monumental canal house at the Herengracht in Amsterdam. 

The 450 invitees, including the (international) coaches, press and VIP’s, were divided over eight rooms, each room named after one of the cities where the designers were graduated. Iconic supermodel Pat Cleveland and her daughter Anna Cleveland walked the show. Besides being an inspiration to the designers, they embody MOAM’s credo: connecting young talent to iconic names from the fashion industry. 

Martijn Nekoui about the show: 

“Working together with Frans Ankoné on this very first international MOAM-project has been a dream come true. We’re super proud of this collection and the new generation of MOAM designers.” 

Joshua Enker Presents New Collection

Please introduce yourself to our readers. (Who are you, where do you come from and what is your field of specialization?)
My name is Joshua Enker, I am a fashion designer from Amsterdam. I design for both men and women and I tend to start from material development.

What inspires you in general?
Fashion, art, history, crafts...the idea of transformation and how one is perceived.

Where are you based?
I’m based in Amsterdam, for now.

What is it like to be a young designer in your city/country?
There’s a whole web of institutions, subsidies, etc. that seem to support fashion, however it’s quite daunting to find your way through it though. Selling and actually producing your work is a big challenge, as there is hardly a market for home-grown design. The Dutch will spend on their homes but not on clothing and accessories.

Multidisciplinary Exhibition Presented by Lisa Maria Rutten

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

I’m Lisa Maria Rutten, I work under the name: Maria-Lies, I graduated as an illustrator, but photography and fashion are a big influence in my work. My work is mainly about creating a certain atmosphere, which mostly ends up as a surreal situation. I prefer to put things in another perspective, playing with the function and use of objects is distinctive for my work. By illustrating with objects, I try to create a set-design that makes people question. Photography is the main key in all of this, however I often combine more mixed media techniques, since I haven’t lost my love for working with real materials. My style consists of creating an illusion, with a dark sense of humor and an overload of imagination.

fORS - 2 visions brought together

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

We are Patricia Neubauer and Bettina Keller, two german fashion designers. We have been working together for a few years now in Amsterdam under the name fORS. 

2. Please walk us through the concept of your work. 

The label’s creative base is founded in our two visions. Together we create fashion collections which embrace our differences and similarities resulting in conceptual garments that are both abstract and wearable. Friction between symmetry and asymmetry, bold uneven cuts and contrasts are the starting points for our designs. An essential and unique aspect of our garments is the adaptability of almost every piece. We aim to be ageless and timeless but with an extravagant sex appeal.
