My collection is based on things that catch my eye. Things that others might find unremarkable, inspire me most. A perfect fit makes me stare and wonder 'what is it, that I see?'. My search is about finding a pattern that hardly stands out.
Ik zie ik zie wat jij niet ziet (I see what you might not see)

My collection is based on things that catch my eye. Things that others might find unremarkable, inspire me most. A perfect fit makes me stare and wonder 'what is it, that I see?'. My search is about finding a pattern that hardly stands out.
Crossing boundaries in the known, delivers a new palette of details. A pocket or a seam can become the centre of attention by changing and rearranging them. A dress can show new meaning by use of the pattern of a blouse. The colour palette with an indispensable eye for detail shows well thought combinations and also the aesthetic value of one-tone.Take a closer look, and you might see what I see.
