We introduce you to the talented woman behind the label MCFOOL by Malou Fool. Please meet Malou!
Hey Malou! Please introduce yourself.
I'm Malou Fool, I'm 23 years old and I live in Voorburg. Three years ago I graduated from
the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. Currently I'm busy with setting up
my own men’s fashion label. Besides designing and making clothes I also design
and produce leather bags for men.
Where are you based?
My studio is based
in the Hague, next to the highway at the exit Voorburg.
What inspires you in general?
For my collections
I get inspired by collected objects that give me a certain feeling. With that
feeling I can make sketches for a new collection. Furthermore, I also get inspiration from people on the street. I find people who combine different kinds of clothes together.
What place or city do you find inspiring?
The city New York
has a vibe and is very inspiring.
What is it like to be a young designer in
your city/country?
As a young
designer in my country it is really hard to start your own label. There are
chances but it is difficult. You really need connections to break through.
