I JUST GRADUATED ARTSCHOOL WITH MY GRADUATION COLLECTION, gET IN LOSER WE ARE GOING TO SMASH THE PATRIARCHY!,. I make men's clothing with feminine elements without being a women's collection shown on a man. No gender-neutral clothing, but rather clothing full of gender, masculinity that becomes abundant through femininity and thus becomes a beautiful mix. An excessive amount. Decadence at its best. That is how you can best describe my brand.

Latest Collection

gET IN LOSER, WE ARE GOING TO SMASH THE PATRIARCHY!

My collection started with the struggle that I have with how I should express myself so that I can be accepted by society and with how I would like to express myself while losing all acceptance. This collection is not only an ode to all feminine men. It is a battle cry.
I want to create an image that boys like myself can identify with. I want to show that even without using the forced gender rules in men's clothing you can still make a men's collection. But for my men. I want to send them out onto the street and show the world how beautiful we are!
Hereby I used my preference for Maximalism and nonchalance and through my knowledge of textiles and styling I hit the right spot between Cliché and innovation.
