Collective 12

Collective 12 is a design collective formed of twelve graduate students from the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design, from the disciplines Body, Object and Material. They have stories to tell, and they do not want to keep these stories to themselves.

They want to put themselves and their views out there. As emerging young designers, they want to participate in FASHIONCALSH Festival 2018: they see the value and the opportunity FCF as Maastricht based organisation can give to them, not only in the Netherlands but also on an international basis.

Their works are all focussing on fashion, fashion-related jewellery or textile. Due to FASHIONCLASH Festivals's interdisciplinary approach and view on fashion as an art form, they see themselves fully represented and feel closely connected to the concept.

MPA Collective at FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015

MPA Collective: a jewellery brand created by Maryvonne Wellen, Phylicia Gilijamse, and Anne Achenbach.

They met each other in Düsseldorf in 2007, during their studies of Applied Arts and Design. After graduation, they moved to different cities to continue their studies – London, Düsseldorf, and Munich. Though not in the same place geographically, they have maintained a strong connection on a personal as well as professional level. With the help of Skype, they are still able to discuss their designs, processes, and thoughts as a group while sitting in front of computers. Therefore, in the fall of 2014, they decided to team up and initiated the jewellery collective MPA. This year they will present their jewellery at the designer market at FASHIONCLASH Festival 2015. Be ready to buy their products then!

Q&A with designers:

How would you describe your work? What is your technique?
The jewellery of MPA can be defined by its clean graphic lines and strong volumes with little to no ornamentation. The designs are minimalistic and pure, yet unexpectedly inventive with functional details. MPA's designs express quiet female strength and confidence, without being demanding or extravagant. Great attention is paid to material expression. Instead of choosing for high glossy materials bracelets, rings, earrings and pendants are executed in non-precious metals, polymers and wood, surfaces are textured, matte and have a reduced color palette. We have a similar approach to designing but each individual MPA member has their own approach that can be recognized in the pieces. The three of us use a broad range of techniques to produce a large variety of wearable jewellery. We blend traditional goldsmithing methods with the latest techniques, like 3D printing.
