METAMORPHOSIS
The transformation from caterpillar to butterfly is one of nature’s most powerful symbols of change. After meeting my father for the first time, a pivotal moment in my life, the butterfly became the starting point of a new design. From there, my focus shifted more deliberately toward neckwear. The collection features silk, digitally printed and monochrome cotton and woven bow ties.
PETALS
Bowties with petals in the shape of a flower. Digitally printed and made from silk with an adjustable neck strap in the same green color as the stem of a flower.
MIRROR BALL TIE
A play with words and a tribute to the dance floor, where the mirror ball tie steals the spotlight. This limited atelier edition is created to celebrate my new working space, showroom and shop in the heart of Amsterdam.
MOUCHOIR CE SOIR
This bow tie excists off a reusable handkerchief, which you can take out and put back in the neck strap after you dried your tears. The esthetic of this design is in its authentic form and suggestive emotion.
NOT A BOW TIE
A fusion of two archetypal neck pieces, redesigned to break with formal dress codes.
LIKE A BUTTERFLY
Special edition digitally woven bow tie in the shape of a butterfly, poetic and bold at the same time.
BEAUTY AND THE BEADS
Beads necklace inspired by iconic women, wearing red lipstick and a faux beauty mark.
CHAIN REACTION
Black cotton bandana with a gold foil printed link chain necklace. This small square scarf plays with optical illusion and casual streetwear.
LOVE = LOVE
This collection consists of a bow tie representing equality of love with two identical hearts that come together in one design and a golden arrow handprinted necktie. Cupid is ready to shoot.
RELEASE ME
STORM
