‘In the summer of 2010 I started a part time training at the school of a famous haute couturehouse. I now completed 3 out of the 10 modules. Ever since I was a child I am fascinated by manually making clothes and embroideries. Gradually I got more specialised in this hand moderation, particularly in the unorthodox way. I now learn the techniques in accordance with the classic, traditional haute couture rules.

In my presentation at the Winter Salon/ I show the research I am doing of the way the new techniques I have been thaught are getting integrated in my own work.’

C.T.M.W.C.F

Cars parked in the streets in Eindhoven
city were transformed into amorphous
objects that entered a relationship with
the street furniture and environment.
This approach prevented the identifica-
tion of the brand of car underneath
and, in addition, these soft object forms
changed the experience of the space for
the public.
