A timeless, clever and intuitive approach to clothing. Funded by Dutch Stimuleringsfonds.

“Poetry of Clothing” is a photo series capturing the interaction between the garments and calm serene natures of Japan. Where the sounds of birds, rivers, wind and mountains blends in with the garment. A journey from Lake Biwa to the deep forest of Wakayama. A Collaboration with fine art photographer Hiromi Kakimoto.

“Poetry of Clothing” is developed based on inspirations and knowledge gained from two month’s residency in Kyoto Japan. In collaboration with Japanese craftsman Yoshida Shozoku, I experimented with highly valued Japanese techniques and created new designs that reflect modern times yet emphasizing the timeless aesthetics.
