Enclothed Cognition - FASHIONCLASH Festival 2018

Enclothed Cognition is a collaborative project from fashion designer Bregje Cox and visual artist Mark King. The collection is inspired by the theory of Enclothed Cognition. Particularly, how a garment’s symbolic meaning paired with the physical experience of wearing the garment combines to impact the wearer’s performance in everyday tasks. The Enclothed Cognition collection seeks to empower others by bringing awareness to the interplay between the clothes we wear, the built environment and the human mind.

Enclothed Clothing will present their collection on Saturday June 16 at The Show program at SAM-Decorfabriek. You get get you your tickets online: here.

Q&A 

Mark: I am a Barbadian interdisciplinary visual artist. My work encompasses photography, installation, textile surface design and public art. I am inspired chiefly by behavioural psychology, technology and neuroscience. My artwork investigates the individual’s relationship with the built environment through pattern and the coding of an ever-evolving visual lexicon. My main interest rests in how we can learn more about our surroundings and in-turn leverage this knowledge for a better navigated life.

FASHIONCLASH x Joelle Boers x The Dutch

Maastricht has a great new hot spot, The Dutch, a contemporary lifestyle hotel with a quirky retro style. FASHIONCLASH teamed up with The Dutch not only for the 8th edition of FASHIONCLASH Festival but the collaboration provided a platform for our talented local designer and entrepreneur Joelle Boers. The Dutch commissioned print and fashion Joelle Boers to design a mini collection for The Dutch. The collection features t-shirs, backpacks, jackets and trouwers in various prints also designed by the designer.

The pieces can be bought at The Dutch.

The Dutch is a lifestyle hotel situated in a town house in the district of Wyck, which is known for its authentic shops, bars and restaurants.
 Each guest room is individually designed and features modern facilities. These include air-conditioning, a comfy bed with fluffy pillows, a flat screen TV with over a 100 channels, in room coffee and tea, room service from our friends at Harry’s, a complimentary minibar and sufficient power outlets for all your mobile devices. Enjoy a gin & tonic in the Lobby-Bar and meet up with the locals or have a free cappuccino or espresso in the Hangout where you can work, play games or relax.  The hotel does not serve a traditional breakfast as it is surrounded with many great breakfast spots. It does provide a daily complimentary breakfast bag as a healthy start of the day.
