Malousebastiaan




Malousebastiaan are the darling design duo from the Hogeschool van Kunsten in Utrecht. Their previous collection 'hand-died, hand-made' reflected beautiful skies in the Netherlands in hues of pink and purple. This collection also carries their natural starting point with hand-dyed materials, inspired from Malou and Ferdinand's (2nd name Sebastiaan) home region; the green and leafy Veluwe.

Not immediately apparent to the unknowing, is the depth of Malousebastiaan's concepts; this collection used a cube-shape, and in addition to the clearly visible cubes adorned on the garments, Malou told me that total looks were completely constructed out of cube-patterns.
Malou: "The green leather dress is completely made out of cubes, and the orange dress is made out of one 10 meter long piece of fabric".
Besides being multi-experiential, conceptual designers (which is also apparent on their website), Malousebastiaan are also fashion entrepreneurs.
Malou: "This was our show-collection, it visualises our concept and vision. We have an adaptation of this available for retail."
As well as following the duo online, you will soon be able to visit their concept store in Arnhem. I can't wait!
