All lights on Marlou Breuls
FASHIONCLASH shines lights on designer Marlou Breuls on RTL 4 programme 'Puur Geluk'
For the visitors of Show 5 at this years FASHIONCLASH Festival it was perhaps a strange moment when one more collection, that was not scheduled, came out on the runway. For Marlou Breuls the shock was even bigger, while she thought her surprise was to sit with her mother and boyfriend on the first raw, she was stunned when she saw a model wearing one of her outfits on the runway. And another two models, until the fourth model, the Dutch top model Kim Feenstra came out and walked towards her.
But the surprise did not end here, Marlou was not aware that everything was filmed with hidden camera's for the Dutch RTL4 tv show 'Puur Geluk'.
The aim of the show was to put one promising designer in the spotlight. We choose to put spotlight on Marlou Breuls, talented fashion student at AMFI institute in Amsterdam. She is talented, hardworking and modest and the pleasure is on us to give her the stage.

Ebby Port at FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015
Meet Ebby Port, one of our talented local designers at FASHIONCLASH Festival.
Ebby Port is born in Tilburg but moved to Geleen (Limburg) where she feels more like home.
After studying in Rotterdam and Brussels Ebby decided to live in the area that makes her the happiest.
So now she shares a studio in Sittard with a close friend, Alexander Claessen. Ebby has been designing clothes since 10 years now, since she had her first sewing class.
How would you describe your work ?
For me my work is always about freedom in a way, or/and a reflection of the time we live in. I get inspired by various aspects of life. But it is always very personal. It is about emotions, what I see around me and the world turing around. I use silkscreen printing technique to develope my fabrics. For me this is a way to express my thought and I enjoy to use this very physical technique. It feels like sculpting in a way.
Have you presented your work before?
I have shown at FASHIONCLASH Festival already too times now.
What do you aspire to be?
I aspire to be a good person and to help others.
What is your most name worthy achievement up to now in relation to fashion ?
My most worthy achievement in relation to fashion is spread out in different moments, it is the time I see someone wearing my design with love and that for a moment I forget it is my design. Another moment is when I take off the silkscreen window of the fabric right after printing and the color combination suprises me. Another worthy achievement is our beautiful studio, everytime, if it is in the morning or at night I feel so happy and grateful to be there.

I'm focused on the use of traditional techniques with a congtemporary conception like crocheting, macramé, tie-dye, patchwork. I combine expressive pieces with wearable clothes. Each collection is a mix of tradition with futurism, individuality and self-expression. I presented my work for example at Shooting Fashion Stars in Prague, FASHIONCLASH Maastricht or International Fashion Showcase in London. I was awarded the Erste Bank Fashion Award in Vienna and this year I was nominated for Fashion Designer of the Year at CZECH GRAND DESIGN 2014.

Een ode aan mannen met lang haar

door Japke van Uffelen MA student Museumstudies
Ieder mens heeft het: haar. De een (ietsje) meer dan de ander, afhankelijk van zowel biologische als culturele factoren. Van nature heeft de een krullend haar, de ander overbeharing op armen en benen en weer een ander kan maar geen baard laten groeien.
Door deze biologische kenmerken te vervormen wordt de verschijningsvorm van het haar maatschappelijk aanvaardbaar gemaakt. Per cultuur, tijd en sekse verschillen de normen en functies van deze verschijningsvorm. Net zoals kleding geeft haar vorm aan de eigen identiteit. Het lichaam wordt daarbij niet als een vaststaand gegeven gezien waarbij genetisch is bepaald hoe iemand eruitziet, maar als een project dat getransformeerd kan worden. Doordat haar een van de eerste fysieke kenmerken is die wordt gezien als we naar elkaar kijken, roept het direct een reactie of oordeel op. [1]

Eeuwenlang hebben mannen het schoonheidsideaal voor vrouwen bepaald: stevige ronde bosten, blanke huid of een strak ingeregen taille. Sinds het begin van de twintigste eeuw lijkt de man een koekje van eigen deeg te krijgen. De uberseksueel en metroman zijn al een aantal jaar passe, ook voor de menaissanceman [1] (hipster) lijkt het tij te keren. “Deze man houdt van mannelijk, een pak mag, maar zijn mannelijkheid is vooral te zien aan zijn beharing: de baard. Menaissance verwijst natuurlijk naar het renaissancetijdperk en betekent letterlijk wedergeboorte, en de mannenmode-industrie profiteert hiervan.” Zo signaleerde Georgette Koning vorig jaar. Deze zomer lijken de heren voor een “beardstache” te kiezen, aldus de Business Insider van 9 juni jl. [2] Een klein baardje en vooral: een snor. Hoe dan ook, baarden komen en snorren gaan. Feit lijkt wel dat de moderne man tegenwoordig goed verzorgd voor de dag moet komen.
Mannelijke ijdelheid is echter niet alleen iets van deze tijd. Schrijver Justus van Effen levert in zijn maatschappij kritische tijdschrift De Hollandse Spectator regelmatig commentaar op de achttiende-eeuwse samenleving. Zo meldt hij op 10 december 1733 dat een aantal modieuze mannen in hun sociëteit een ‘magnifiek nooteboom’ meubel dat dienstdoet als kaptafel. Daarop liggen ‘ontelbare’ kammen van verschillende grootte, staan maar liefst twaalf potjes met haarverzorgingsproducten, bevinden zich sierlijke poederdozen – voor de pruiken – en bovendien potjes ‘om de lippen, zelfs in de schraalste noorde wint, zagt en blozend te houden.’ [3]

Aandacht voor het uiterlijk en gebruik van allerlei verzorgingsproducten voor mannen is dus niets nieuws. De hedendaagse man kan met de vele producten die verkrijgbaar zijn momenteel zijn voorkomen op vele manieren benadrukken – zolang er maar een mannelijk element aanwezig blijft. De producten stralen daarom met hun sobere vormgeving stoerheid en rationaliteit uit. Deze zomer kan de Moustache guard van Maison Martin Margiela voor Droog Design in ieder geval uit de kast gehaald worden, zodat de getrimde man met een gerust hart van zijn espresso macchiato kan genieten.
Dit artikel verscheen eerder in de magalogue bij de tentoonstelling Fashion DNA van het Rijksmuseum. Voor dit blog is het herschreven en geactualiseerd.

Wie heeft de broek aan?

Wie heeft de broek aan?
door Catherine Regout
De rok lijkt nog geen algemeen geaccepteerd kledingstuk voor mannen. In de blog Man-skirt van Rick van Os wordt beschreven dat de mannenrok door een aantal ontwerpers wordt gebruikt om de scheiding tussen typische mannen- en vrouwenkleding te verleggen, maar dat de rok (tot nu toe) voornamelijk vrouwelijke associaties oproept. Bij de van oorsprong mannelijke broek is echter het omgekeerde aan de orde: voor vrouwen is de broek een volkomen geaccepteerd kledingstuk geworden. Er bestaan vrouwelijke broeken voor elke gelegenheid, van praktisch en comfortabel tot Le Smoking en de Power Suit. De broek is echter niet altijd een voor vrouwen geaccepteerde kledingkeuze geweest.
‘When the woman wears the trousers’
Aan het einde van de 19de en het begin van de 20ste eeuw namen vrouwen steeds vaker deel aan sportactiviteiten waarbij het dragen van een lange rok onpraktisch was. Er werd gezocht naar alternatieven. Een broek was echter nog ‘onfatsoenlijk’, zoals Sjouk Hoitsma aangeeft in de blog met gelijknamige titel. De eerste feministische golf, waarbij vrouwen opkwamen voor meer gelijkheid met de man, vond in dezelfde periode plaats. De voor die tijd geëmancipeerde vrouwen namen afscheid van het ongemakkelijke korset, verruilde hun lange haar voor het model van een korte bob en kleedde zich in zogenaamde Garçonne-stijl. Deze stijl werd populair bij vrouwen na de Eerste Wereldoorlog en richtte zich in de kleding op het vervagen van het onderscheid tussen seksen. Vrouwen gingen broeken dragen, wat voorheen alleen tot het ‘territorium’ van de man behoorde, alhoewel deze broeken vooralsnog alleen in huis of op het strand werden gedragen. ( A. Fukai, Fashion. A History from the 18th to the 20th Century. Volume II: 20th Century, Kyoto 2002 (p.432) )

‘When the woman wears the trousers’ Amerikaanse Vogue, 8-6-1929, p.91 |
Hollywoodfilms werden in de jaren 1930 internationaal getoond en hadden een grote aantrekkingskracht, waardoor actrices, zoals Marlène Dietrich, door vele vrouwen als voorbeeld werden gezien. Naast bekende modetijdschriften, zoals Vogue, hadden Hollywood actrices invloed op de heersende mode. Toen Marlène Dietrich zich voor de film Morocco (1930) in een mannenpak hulde en liet zien dat ze ondanks deze masculiene kledingstijl, en met behulp van make-up, nog steeds vrouwelijk kon zijn, werd de broek voor vrouwen een geaccepteerdere kledingkeuze. In 1963 presenteerde André Courrèges een avondensemble met broek voor vrouwen en in 1966 voegde Yves Saint Laurent daar Le Smoking aan toe. Ze doorbraken het taboe op broeken voor vrouwen binnen haute couture en creëerden een vrouwelijke broek geschikt voor feestelijke gelegenheden. (A. Fukai, 2002, pp.448,488)
In verschillende literatuur wordt de link tussen het ‘mannenpak’ en (uitstraling van) macht gelegd. (Onder meer: D. Crane, Fashion and its social agendas : class, gender, and identity in clothing, Chicago 2000, F. Davis, Fashion, culture, and identity, Chicago 1994 en A. Fukai, Fashion. A History from the 18th to the 20th Century. Volume II: 20th Century, Kyoto 2002) De broek zou, net als brede schouders, een uiting van mannelijke autoriteit zijn. Toen Margaret Thatcher in 1979 de eerste vrouwelijke Prime Minister van Engeland werd, kwam de strijd voor gelijkheid van man en vrouw ook op de werkvloer internationaal onder de aandacht. In de jaren tachtig kwam de Power Suit op en werd voornamelijk gedragen door werkende vrouwen. Dit ensemble, bestaande uit een blazer, in de jaren 1980 vaak met grote schoudervullingen, blouse en broek, is afgeleid van het mannenpak. De brede schouders, scherpe lijnen en monochrome ontwerpen zouden de autoriteit, bekwaamheid en gelijkwaardigheid van de werkende vrouw ten opzichte van de werkende man benadrukken; emancipatie ten voeten uit.
De Power Suit heeft niet voor niets deze naam gekregen en wordt (in enigszins aangepaste vorm) nog steeds ingezet ter benadrukking van macht en gezag door vrouwen op vooraanstaande posities, zoals Angela Merkel en Hillary Clinton.

Man-skirt
by Rick van Os
There has been a double standard throughout the history of everyday fashion. Whereas women have gradually exchanged their skirts for trousers from the early nineteen-hundreds onwards, men haven’t taken up the opportunity (or have been able) to incorporate the skirt in their everyday apparel. Despite the valliant efforts made by fashion visionaries such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Dries van Noten and Walter van Beirendonck, the phenomenon of the man-skirt hasn’t found a raison d’être outside of the high-fashion discourse. Although effortlessly adopted as a symbol of anarchy by counter-cultural groups like punks and new romantics, one might still raise questions as to why the kilt, sarong or man-skirt has evidently failed to become an indespensible item in everyday men’s fashion.
When The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier was on exhibit at de Kunsthal Rotterdam in early 2013, Gaultier’s signature coned bra was probably his most sought-after piece. However, ample amount of attention should have been payed to his revolutionary, playfully gender-bending man-skirts dating back to 1985. Ever since Gaultier’s masculine interpretation of the skirt, established and up-and-coming fashion designers have actively taken up this concept as a starting point to question our wardrobe’s underlying gender binary.

Studio Kiekebos at FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015
![]() |
Fotografie: Olga Simonenko |
Q&A with the designer Charlotte Kiekebos:
How would you describe your work? What is your technique?
My work is influenced by the basic rules and codes of fashion design. However, my objective is to create a new atmosphere by manipulating the basic rules of design, e.g. by adding detracting or combining elements. This perspective is soundly reflected in all ‘Studio Kiekebos’ designs and it creates a new reactionary experience. In principle, I prefer to place my designs within a decor, in which I add abstract and graphic elements. During the design process I use Moulage, a technique that creates shapes with fabric on the human body.

Het vreemdste object in de collecties

Phallus beurs, 1500-1600, collectie Amsterdam Museum. |
Het vreemdste object in de collecties
Lisa Whittle, embedded researcher publieksparticipatie bij Modemuze
Stokbeurs, foedraal en phallus beurs. In drie verschillende musea zijn vrijwel gelijke beursjes te vinden, waarachter verschillende verhalen en verklaringen schuilen die de betekenis en context van deze objecten onduidelijk, maar des te aantrekkelijker maken. Met dateringen tussen 1500 en 1665, beslaan deze beursjes mogelijk een periode waarin de mode zich voor mannen en vrouwen anders ging ontwikkelen, maar kleding sowieso betekenissen kende die een leek vandaag de dag moeilijk kan ontcijferen. De suggestieve vorm van deze beursjes zal voor de meesten echter direct in het oog springen. De fallische contouren geven aanleiding tot speculatie over wat deze beursjes precies zijn. Hebben ze ooit een gebruiksfunctie gekend of zijn het vooral objecten met een symbolische waarde?

DELACIER at FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015
Dóra Domokos is a fashion designer based in Budapest, Hungary. During her study in the French-based Modart Fashion and Art School in Budapest, she experimented with the fusion of the classic ladies-wear and functional accessories. With that exploration, she discovered that she could use a unique string art technique on the surface of the mental. With this unique technique, she established her own brand DELACIER of jewelries after graduation. This year she will participate at the designer market of FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015. Be ready to buy the unique jewelries then!

Q&A with designer Dóra Domokos:

For DELACIER, each piece is made of stainless steel. The custom-machined frame is covered with string art technique. All the necklaces, the neckbands, the cuffs and other accessories, are applied with the combination of both modern technology and traditional techniques. This unique fusion must not happen at the expense of comfort, so the wearability plays an important role in the design process. The jewelry is best characterized by its exciting shapes that are renewed each season. The string art pattern for each piece is unique and unrepeatable, emphasizing the uniqueness of the wearer. Timeless stability meets sophisticated elegance in the collection. In addition, DELACIER also provides extreme fashion accessories not meant for everyday use, but for the futurist line of the brand.

What is your most name worthy achievement up to now in relation to fashion field?
I am proud to say that I have been a finalist for a number of competitions such as: ‘‘Off Fashion’’, “Fashion Oscars” , NOWFASHION; Mod’Art in Paris, or Art&Fashion Forum in Poznań. In 2013 I was nominated for the prize: Silesia Fashion Point. In 2014, I won one of prize in Contest “Be Next” in Georgia. Award was a scholarship “Fashion Marketing &Buisness for Professionals” in Domus Academy in Milan.
My first collection was named as ‘Thmubelina/Patchwork Soup’, but my second collection named ‘Global Warming’ was the one, that started to gain attention from fashion professionals and audience. ‘Global Warming’ was shown at the 11th Open Air Festival in Gdańsk, Festival Neo Fashion Jamboree in Bielsko Biała and Silesia Fashion Look 2013 in Katowice. My third collection – ‘Sweet Memories’ was presented at ‘Elite Model Look Final’ competition in August 2013. In January, during Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris, at Young Fashion Designer Exhibition Art Georgia, my third collection was presented. My last collection ‘La Magie Noire’ had premiere during Paris Fashion Week in showroom POLISH FASHION NOW in March 2015, and lastly I have presented my collection recently at MB Fashion Week in Tbilisi.
I want to keep my designs in cheerful and colourful character. In my clothing I use high-quality textiles and majority of my pieces are hand-made ended. I design for individualistic and energetic women.

Meet the Maker #2 - FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015

Meet the Maker #1 |
June 13 13:00 - 17:00 in the context of FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015
Last year, Bureau Europa and Studio Noto successfully started a new concept called Meet the Maker, a platform for presenting work of young designers and performers to a select group of interested professionals.
Additional to the collaboration with Studio Noto the next edition will be organised together with FASHIONCLASH Maastricht.
For this special edition of Meet the Maker, five artists have been selected to present an object, project or performance to a (transdis- ciplinary) group of interested parties and then talk about their works and performances while having lunch together in a special setting.
The works and performances that will be pre- sented have to be related to this year's theme of the FASHIONCLASH Festival: Gender. The works do not necessarily have to be created for this event. Artists are free to choose work which is even incomplete or in the making, as long as it links with the theme. The challenge is to choose a artwork or performance and give the reason for this particular choice. The audience is considered as being participants themselves that enter into a dialogue with the makers. After the short presentations, there will be food and discussion in an informal setting.
Meet the Maker #2 Participants: Casper Wortman, Miglė Nevieraitė, Matthijs Holland, Anne Marie Borsboom and Dario Tortorelli.

Because this edition is organised in collaboration with FASHIONCLASH the event will be part of the press tour of the FASHIONCLASH festival. That means that a lot of professional journalists and bloggers will join the event. Then subsequently, during the rest of the day, Bureau Europa is accessible for everybody to make sure that the works can be seen by a broad audience.
Meet the Maker is an initiative of Bureau Europa and Studio Noto.

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.
