Jolinde Verbaandert Textile Design

Jolinde Verbaandert is a young Dutch designer (24), graduated July 2014 at the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design (MAFAD) as a Textile Designer. Jolinde’s work is all about textures. She likes to combine different techniques and to develop a textile structure out of different layers. The results are textiles with always a different touch and feeling.

Her ambition is to explore the wonderful world of Haute Couture and to create fabrics that will fit in this world but also to amaze, to create something new, to fascinate.
