Viktor & Rolf Couture Spring Summer 2015

Remember our project (OLD)Fashion(ed) developed in cooperation with Dutch Dance Festival and Museum aan het Vrijthof?
Firstly, (OLD)Fashion(ed), is chosen as one of the exemplary projects for the Art of Impact, the new programme of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and six public funding bodies for culture. The programme supports cultural projects which have an effect on society. This means that with a modest grant from The Art of Impact, (OLD)Fashion(ed) can extend its reach even further in 2015.
Secondly, craftswoman Ingrid Reinhoud collaborated with Viktor & Rolf for their Couture spring summer collection 2015, which they presented this week in Paris. For this collection they drew inspiration from the expressive landscapes of Vincent van Gogh. The collection featured striking 3D flowers and enormous straw hats was created in collaboration with Ingrid Reinhoud who know everything about the crafts of straw braiding.

Dennis climbing a hill.

What is your name? My name is Dennis Vanderbroeck. I'm 21 years old and living in Maastricht but I'm originally from Zoetermeer, that's a small village kind of thing near The Hague.

Where did you study and when did you graduate? I'm still studying at the Theatre Academy in Maastricht and I'm in my second year. My study has a multidisciplinary approach. We're making short movies, live performances and visual art.

What inspires you as a theatre maker/performer? Everything. When I look around I can be inspired by anything. The smallest things in life can generate a world. Like my neighbour who lives across the road, I see him every morning, the guy I see every Wednesday at 8.30 sharp, the photo's where my father looks exactly like me, the music I liked when I was young, someone who's sleeping in the train, a dream, cardboard houses and pop-up books.

I think everybody lives in his own created reality. What we have in common is relative. It's about those millions of bubbles where everybody lives in. I really like to try to create a world, another world, a new world. Every single piece I make represents another part of my own created reality.
