About: NoN by KIM redefines the male wardrobe from a no nōnsense, post-modern
perspective. Founded in 2007, the Dutch designer Kim Bakker mutates the
archetypes of men’s garments to push and explore the boundaries of
menswear.
Her designs are constructed from a combination of her fascinations.
Fuelled by a love for abstraction, the daily beauty in details, listing
to structured chaotic sound and watching slow stories unfold, she starts
to deconstruct patterns. Mutating them into garments, together they
form a new layered silhouette defined by fine body conscious materials
and a moderate use of colours.
These ingredients form a collection which is captivating on different levels and will not cease to inspire. (via

About: The label Dorhout Mees was founded in2010 by the Dutch designer Esther
Louise Dorhout Mees. After her studies at ArtEZ Academy of Arts in
Arnhem and many years of working as a designer for established labels,
such as Bruuns Bazaar and Tommy Hilfiger, it was time to start her own
label. Dorhout Mees is distinctive in its elegant style. It is
feminine and conceptual, but wearability is always an important element.
Organic forms contrasted sharp next to constructual forms. The base of
all collections are prints, silk, wool and delicate knits. Combined with
the use of wearable unconventional materials. Fasinaction of
the constant connection between body and material, covering and
uncovering of the female body is always the starting point.
Contradictions in structures, silhouette and textures are the essence of
the collections.(taken from wwwdorhout-mees.com)
