Work in progress: Frowijn & Tilanus Atelier

WinterSALON/2014: For this edition of SALON/  Henriette Tilanus and Liselore Frowijn decided to team up.

Henriette Tilanus and Liselore Frowijn are fashion designers, based in Amsterdam. They studied at ArtEZ Academy Of Arts in Arnhem and graduated Cum Laude in 2013. Tilanus won with her collection ‘Let the dust settle’ he G-Star Raw Lichting 2013 Award and Frowijn the Frans Molenaar Couture Award 2013 with her collection ‘Afternoon Of A Replicant’. Henriette Tilanus's designs come from a poetic image in her mind combined with things she sees in real life. One day, when she did her internship in London she saw an old lady on the street with pink hair and a transparent headscarf. Things like this she collects in her mind and it becomes a new story. She loves to make my her own material and create an atmosphere which is based on this self-formed story. Therefore she embroiders, paints, knits, and reworks fabrics in an artisanal manner and bring them together like a collage. In a way she paints with fabric. Her aim is to create a sensitive yet contrasting image in which she plays around with fragile and heavier materials, layers, volumes, and colors. 
Liselore Frowijn is a designer who combines contrasting aspects into a new exciting idea. She creates a characteristic world and colourful atmosphere, balancing on the narrow border of high and low cultures. Every new design is a living painting, carefully built up as a collageHer fabrics are hand painted or embroidered. The silhouettes are voluminous and layered, and the transparency of the fabrics causes an eclectic play-a-long between background and foreground: a weird kind of luxury is the result. Her designs are for women with a curiosity for the world.  As the designer herself, they are explorers in heart and soul; always searching for the perfect balance between aestheticism and imperfection. 

This summer 2014, they'll present their new collection together, and with this exposition they show a preview of their inner world of thoughts and dreams throughout the atmosphere of their atelier.

This is the second time that Tilanus and Frowijn participate at SALON/. Part of their graduate collections went to China with SALON/BJ in 2013; see Henriette Tilanus' work at SALON/BJ  see Liselore Frowijn's work on exhibit during SALON/BJ

Getting ready for the opening day

Getting ready for the opening date. Everybody in Dashilar is busy getting ready, floors are being painted, windows are being cleaned etc. etc. Even the visitors and locals are anxious to see how the exhibition space will look when finished.

rENs: Work in progress

SALON/BJ: Studion rENs: Work in progress. rENs are Stefanie van Keysteren and Renee Mennen, 2 designers who decided to work with the color red. They found all kinds of material, like for instance flowers, to dye garments in this Chinese color for good luck. (Photo's by © JW Kaldenbach)

Paris came in contact with SALON/BJ via Vision Magazine, she works with rENs on their project in Dashilar.

This prototype jacket will be reproduced and dyed by hand in 20 different shades of red.

Just around the corner of the Factory, the exhibition space of rENs, we saw these towels. You can find them throughout the area outside of hairdressers shops. They do come in different colors but finding these red ones nearby was a nice coincidence.

Angelo

Today the official opening will take place. The press will be getting a tour from Manon Schaap and Gijs Stork. All the participants are very busy finishing and cleaning up their space. Angelo is helping out where ever he can. Today he ran errands all around the Dashilar Area. Fetching tape for designers, fixing beamers, distributing mannequins, bringing package material back to the hotel, and waiting for the press in front of the exhibition spaces etc. etc. This all with a smile on his face !
