Sophie Duran created a collection of fashion fabrics and accessories that address this double feelings.

Life is not a fairytale?

Mari Tosmin loves fairytales. They bring back beautiful memories of her childhood.

She printed bed lines and bags with a special thermochromic ink that reacts to the body warmth or the outside temperature.

In this way the fairytales come o life and the print change the color.

Naturally I also bought one…

Anne Smolders immersed herself in the seven sins and gave her own interpretation of them.

She illustrates vanity, for example, trough a portrait of a beautiful women wearing a mask that shows how transient beauty is.

Grief, loneliness, emptiness.

Gabriela Sachez y Sanchez de la Baquera used the power of these emotions as the inspiration for a collection of a richly decorated fashion fabrics.

Combined embroidery work, plastic, digital, silk, Lycra and leather. The result is a mix of fierceness and lightness, gloss and matte.

When I looked at the art I also got in contact with some interessting people….
