D.A.I. by Du Qinling

Meet Du Qinling, the Chinese fashion designer behind the label DuAsInfinity living in the Netherlands. She started her own label DuAsInfinity (aka D.A.I.) after graduating from the  London College of Fashion.

What made you realize that you wanted to work in (fashion) design?
 I am always attracted to well made and design objects, textiles, crafts and furniture.

Why did you choose fashion?
Clothes are what we need every day. For me, working in fashion feels like working in something essential to our life needs, not only physically, but also spiritually.

What are your sources of inspiration?
Music, Arts, Films, books.

Why did you decide to participate in FASHIONCLASH 2018? What are your expectations?

FASHIONCLASH exists since 10 years, so it must be an excellent event celebrating fashion. I would like to meet many professionals in fashion or media fields, gaining more press.

VICTOM at FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015

VICTOM is a new brand created by Victor from China and Tom from Belgium. They are both fashion designers based somewhere between Belgium and China. Victor is the chief designer in a men’s wear company, and Tom is teaching fashion design. Together, they decided to join their passion and talent to build the men’s shirt brand – VICTOM. This year, they will present the new collection at designer market of FASHIONCLASH Festival. Get ready to buy these items there!

Like our facebook event of FASHIONCLASH designer market here, you will have the chance to win a gift card for market.

Q&A with designers Tom & Victor

How would you describe your work? 
VICTOM: The collection that will be presented at FASHIONCLASH is a men’s shirt collection mixing the Belgian clean cut with the more baroque Chinese esthetic. This is the first time for our collection to be presented. Hopefully, the audience will appreciate it and encourage us to go further.

Tom: I really like to create and make my design alive. I did a lot of fashion shows, exhibitions, and contests. I get awarded for a few times. The collection that will be presented at FASHIONCLASH is more commercial than what I did before. This is probably influenced by Victor who has more a commercial sense.
