Since I was a kid, sewing, fashion, textile art, etc. caught already my attention. But always passionated by all kinds of art, I decided to study art history in Ghent. A very interesting journey, but I had the feeling that I lost the creative side of the story. So during my last year at the university I decided to combine this with my first passion and started fashion design at the academy of Sint-Niklaas.
​
As a fashion designer I’m inspired by the world around me, like all kinds of everyday impressions, but also social-cultural diversity, behaviors, habits, different opinions, local textile techniques and of cours art. Every collection or piece is in some way always an expression of my vision of the world, my way to want to see the world. An expression of a very pronounced opinion and social awareness. I want to give a voice at the people who likes to create their own reality. Independent, self-conscious bold people who dared to go against the mainstream for a diverse and colourful world.
​
As a costume designer I like to be part of a team creating a new imaginary world, where costumes are just one part of the game. Thinking out of the box, using new materials and reinterpreting history are all possible in this imagination. On stage or on set there is the possibility for an unlimmited fantasy where everyone can forget reality and can take part in an thrilling and unforgettable trip!
