Marga Weimans shows her newest collection Aerial

About: Marga Weimans pushes the boundaries of the fashion industry with her designs. She is interested in the combination of fashion and architecture. Her collections are very broad: from haute couture to pret a porter, including architectural showpieces and minimalistic dresses. The designer worked together with several artists from other fields like industrial designers and architects. Weimans wants to show her personal development and innovation in the designs. The realistic everyday environment of her studio is reflected in her work and transforms into a sublime dreamlike world. She incorporates elements of nature and space and uses earth tones and natural fabrics.She works with 3D perspectives and her designs include architectural materials like wood, iron and resin. She also creates her own fabrics by mixing fabric with fiberglass. in this way, Weimans' designs tell a personal story of how her creative ideas come about.
About: Sander Wassink is an artist and designer who encourages us to reconsider our ideas of beauty and aesthetic value. How can we reconsider what is important and what is desirable to include notions of history, memory and the preservation of a past which is slipping away. Amid new construction, new production, and constant proliferation of new forms and facades, Wassink turns his attention to the discarded, the abandoned, the left over and attempts to reimagine what can be done with the already partially formed. What new possibilities exist in the surfaces and materials that are half-built or half-destroyed. Whether his object is the partly demolished facade of an abandoned building, or the everyday detritus from our over productive culture, Wassink asks what new forms and new visions of beauty already exist to be discovered and appreciated. Sander Wassink was a succesful participant at SALON/BJ with his Dashilar-Store project in 2013.
About: Ma’ayan Pesach recently graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands, at the department Man and Leisure. Her work is diverse and contains conceptual design, product, graphic and also art. Most of her projects are influenced by my background and daily personal experiences in different aspects of life. Pesach found out that she tends to be the observer in most situations and projects when starting. She documents, analyzes and questions constantly while gathering the complete information. In most of her work Ma’ayan tries to bring the fantasy and imagination to the viewer/user to stimulate their curiosity towards their everyday life.

Weimans graduated in 2005 at the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts. That same year she received the I-D Award for International Talent for her graduation collection Power of my Dreams, and has been nominated for several prestigious awards since.


Marga Weimans is a fashion house which explores and pushes the borders of fashion by incorporating elements form various other creative disciplines, such as architecture, industrial design and fine arts.

In her latest collection, which was the closing show of the Amsterdam Fashion Week, she explores the relationship between her personal DNA and the DNA of her fashion house. The voice-over informed us her fashion house must be related to her own genetic construction.


Magnified parts of a DNA string shaped in cube boxes, some with reminiscent cut-outs were pointing out the connection between Weimans and her fashion house.

The ambition of SALON/ is to intertwine location, public and designer. This picture of Marga Weimans at VASA Woodcarving is not only breathtaking but also an example of a successful integration of design in its surrounding.

Marga Weimans is a fashion house which explores and pushes the borders of fashion by incorporating elements from various other creative disciplines, such as architecture, industrial design and fine arts. For this dress the designer has also developed the woven fabric herself and combined it with inspiration from an iconic silhouette by Christian Dior. By closely studying this dress and conducting many experiments to find the perfect structure and shapes she created the Apartment Dress as part of the installation ' Fashion House: Most Beautiful Dress in the World'.

We can say that fashion designers Marga Weimans and Edwin Oudshoorn have joined the SALON/ team for many editions and every time enrich the SALON/route with breathtaking installations at SALON/Maastricht, winterSALON/2012 and SALON/2. During AIS/Aruba they flew in a complete collection to present at Aruba's first fashion week, as part of SALON/ last year.
This year, both are invited to show at Amsterdam Fashion Week. Marga Weimans shall open the event with her first catwalk show helt in the Netherlands and present another collection off-stage called 'The Fashion House', a collection representing 'the foot print of her fashion label', she said in an interview.

Like Mattijs van Bergen closed last years fashion week, its Edwin Oudshoorns turns to wrap this fashion into enclosure.

Marga Weimans (b.1970, Rotterdam) is an international oriented designer that expands herself to multiple disciplines including fashion, architecture and fine arts.

Weimans graduated at the prestigious Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts with her collection 'The Power Of My Dreams’ (2005), of which two designs are displayed at the Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder during WinterSalon/2012. This collection shows the power of dreaming, convinced by the idea what you dream is who you are. In this collection love, fame and success – three elements we all dream of – is reflected in the creations, but the key theme is also the dreams of strong black woman in today’s society. Weimans designs symbolize the eccentricity, political incorrectness and dignity that come to play analyzing the contemporary black woman.

Furthermore, Marga Weimans will present an installation in Museum Willet Holthuysen during winterSALON/2012, which is called 'Hermès Bag by Night'. This object form an exploration of shape and first experimental study on ultimate luxury goods, the obsession with such handbags, the texture of crocodile leather, and classical and most sought after shapes in the market, but distill such aspects to interiors and the facades of buildings. This object was exhibited in TENT Rotterdam.  

Weimans pushes the boundaries of the fashion industry with her collections varying from haute couture to pret-a-porter, architectural showpieces and minimalistic dresses. She wants to show her personal development and innovation in her creations. She incorporates elements of nature and space, using earth tones and natural fabrics. She works with 3D perspectives and her designs include materials like wood, iron, resin and fabrics mixed with fiberglass.

Weimans graduated in 2005 as a fashion designer at the prestigious Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Her graduation collection The Power Of My Dreams won the i-D award in 2005 which is organized by worldwide fashion magazine i-D. With this collection she was also nominated for the Design Prize Rotterdam. Weimans' work is purchased by and exhibited at the Dutch Groninger Museum. Her collections were presented in two haute couture weeks in Paris and in several exhibitions in in the Netherlands.
