Show report: RANGAKU by Kentroy Yearwood

Last friday Kentroy Yearwood's collection was the launch of AIFW's Green Fashion competition.

His collection is based on the revolutionary movement RANGAKU. It means Dutch studies or Dutch learning developed by Japan. In a much broader meaning it is Western learning. Through RANGAKU Japan learned aspects of the revolution occuring in Europe at that time.

The crowd assembled on the Westergasfabriek terrains as this show was open to the public. About 16 models stood quietly in plastic boxes showing off Kentroy's designs.

Kentroy is known for promoting the green fashion movement. That's why he continues to explore new ways of working with natural and organic materials.


This dress was one of my favorites; the pastel color and the use of soft materials make a beauitful dress.
