I am a Dutch fashion designer based in The Hague. My label ESTHERBOSKALJON focuses on high end ready-to-wear collections, characterized by a complex, adventurous form language and rich textures.
What inspires you in general?
Dynamic shapes with a sense of movement are essential in my work. For instance the evolving beauty of a shell or the mystery surrounding a human body dancing. Recurring in my collections are pure aesthetic forms and elegance; introverted and sensitive yet confident.
What is it like to be a young designer in your city?
It is inspiring to be surrounded by (fashion)designers, photographers, artists, actors and writers in The Hague. I feel supported by this city; it is developing and growing into a very inspiring place of culture, art and design.
What place/city do you find inspiring?
The elegance and allure of Paris always gets to me.. It’s sophisticated atmosphere and energy is very inspiring; I hope to be part of it one day.
