Teun is a “queer designer”, focusing on collections with a message. Within his collections he poses questions and plays with different perspectives on them. Subjects such as gender, identity, vulnerability and the phenomenon “manipulation” are themes that both fascinate and frustrate him. This frustration is an enormous drive for him, often adding a certain deepness to the messages in his work. He profiles himself as a designer with a fresh perspective, one in which the male and female identity become homogeneous. This is expressed with color, material, shape and sensitivity. Especially sensitivity is vital to him. Besides his collections he employs a mixture of music and surroundings (and dance in the future) to create a complete experience for his audience.
