Anneleen Bertels is a Belgian fashion designer who is constantly looking for purity and a new reality.
Questioning our own identity and the place where we come from, which is based on a specific environment and cultural history, is something that keeps driving me to find an answer, by translating it into a raw, pure form.
During my former study of architecture and interior design I felt the need to create smaller, more fragile and moving ‘objects’. I have always been fascinated by textiles and structures, and how they influence shape and form. My perception of the role as a fashion designer goes far beyond everything, and contains every action in our life. Creativity has no borders and we have to outbid all disciplines. As we shape our own life and our own thoughts, everyone is at the same time his own creator and master. For me it is very important to feel feel to create my own laboratory, and translate it into a new view on clothing. For me fashion is really interesting because it is an eternal dialogue with a new reality and a new state of human being and mind
