‘mode’ for me…

uncontrollable in her beauty,
twilight

About:
It is because of the choices that i’ve made in the past
that I’ve turned into who I am today.
Through doing I grow. Continuous
reassessment and reflection are a necessity.
This is why my work is about time:
how it passes, how that makes me feel,
how I realise that only partly.
I’ve turned into who I wanted to be,
how I deal with that and how I try to change.
In my work you can see me remembering,
looking back, reminiscing, desiring, longing for,
clinging to and feeling that sadness.

Jiska van Rossum (24)
Education:
Academy of the Arts Utrecht (BA), Utrecht Graduate School of Visual Art and Design (MA)
About:
Stadling your nude figure,
My eyes dive head long,
Into your refined elegance.
I would like to see what happens when men strike the pose and notice themselves being looked at.
Men’s sensuality by the female gaze, playing with the characteristics of masculinity and femininity, to create a tension.
Skin versus clothes, covered versus uncovered, fully dressed but sensual. Trough my clothing I give my vision on man’s attractive side.

About:
I’m fascinated by the movement of the human body.
The interaction between people.
The interaction between clothes and a personality, a body.
The way clothes communicate.
Clothes as an extension of a personality…

Pauline van Dongen (23)
Education:
2004-2008 ArtEZ Academy of the Arts, Arnhem. Fashion Design (BA).
About:
My work focuses on the surface. I use fabric as a starting point.
I am fascinated by the interaction between people and their surroundings; body vs space; the order and arrangements of things around me. I like dialogues, playing with perception, movement, emotion, restriction…
It all feeds my believe in complexities, in problem solving, in desires and in my own moodswings.
Tactility, texture and no-frills modernity are the essence of my work.

Josine Visser (22)
Education:
2004-2008 ArtEZ Academy of the Arts, Arnhem. Fashion Design (BA).
About:
My collections play with contrasting extreme’s,
creating a new world in the in-between no man’s land.
Working with the dualism of different mentality’s living next to each other,
a balance is made in which the opposite’s amplify each other.
Playing with contrasts is the leading core of the tale,
it is represented in the concept, shapes, colour and fabric choice’s.
