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.
