Eline Keuchenius

My approach to design is about elegance at ease.

The creation process for me always starts with finding the right materials. Once i have the fabric in my hands that carries the mood and inspires me, the creative process goes on by draping, collaging and drawing.
It feels like“painting with textiles”.
Material choices here are mainly silks and viscoses, woven and knitted into heavy cool slinky jerseys or light airy voiles and crepes. It is about draping and manipulating fabrics to correspond with the female body, twirling around the model as if it were dancing.
Voiles flowing over the body effortlessly, attached by fine threads.

All print designs are digital paintings, capturing `the flou` in fading colourshades,
while being translated into transparent silk-layers elsewhere.

This collection appears as intertwined art and fashion in a classic and modern style.
