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

WinterSALON/2014: Liesbeth Bussche

During WinterSALON/2014, from January 26 to February 9, De Parel-ketting, designed by Liesbeth Bussche, is on display at the Men's Parlour of Museum Willet-Holthuysen.

De Parel-ketting
The name ‘De Parel’ (The Pearl, La Perle, Die Perle, La Perla, Den Perlen, …), although indicating a precious possession, is a common name given to commercial businesses. Traveling around the Netherlands and Belgium, I photographed 28 businesses called ‘De Parel’. My route is a necklace with pearls strung together via motorways. De Parel-ketting is a three meters long concertina, similar to the well-known souvenir for tourists. An accordion of postcards, a necklace of pearls.
Project (concept & photography): Liesbet Bussche, Graphic design: Rob van Leijsen Supported by Mondriaan Fund read more..)

Museum Willet-Holthuysen in Amsterdam. is 17th century canal house was the former house of residents and collectors Abraham Willet and Louisa Holthuysen.

winterSALON/ 2014: Collectie Arnhem

Eau de la Mode wordt op vrijdag 7 februari 2014 gepresenteerd in MAGAZIJN als onderdeel van winterSALON/ 2014.

60 jaar Arnhemse mode in één parfum!

Met trots presenteert Collectie Arnhem haar eerste parfum: EAU DE LA MODE! De geur is de kroon op het 60 jarig bestaan van de modeafdeling van ArtEZ Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Arnhem. Aan deze legendarische mode academie studeerde de top van mode Nederland – van Viktor & Rolf en Piet Paris tot Jan Taminiau en Iris van Herpen. Het unisex parfum – ontwikkeld in nauwe samenwerking met onafhankelijk geurexpert en chemicus Tanja Deurloo van Annindriya - verschijnt in een reeks van 60 flesjes die de 60 afstudeerjaren vertegenwoordigen.


DE GEUR VAN MODE?
De ontwikkeling van het parfum startte met één vraag aan de honderden alumni van de modeafdeling in Arnhem: ‘Waar ruikt mode naar?’. De antwoorden hierop - Van ‘proefkatoen’ en ‘sigarettenrook’ tot een ‘een ochtend in Parijs’ - vormen de inspiratie van het parfum.
Tanja Deurloo: “EAU DE LA MODE is een eigenzinnig parfum, dat rijke associaties oproept van ‘een nieuw begin’ en adrenaline. Het geurkarakter is gelaagd en opgebouwd uit tegenstrijdige elementen: vertrouwde akkoorden als zacht leer, grapefruit en hout, gecombineerd met scherpe randjes als rabarber, saffraan en rook.”
De 60 parfumflesjes hebben elk een uniek lasergesneden lint met een jaartal – van 1953-2014.

COLLECTIE ARNHEM
Collectie Arnhem is een jaarlijks project van derdejaars modestudenten van ArtEZ Hogeschool voor de Kunsten. In een half jaar ontwikkelen, ontwerpen, produceren en presenteren zij gezamenlijk een collectie. Met de aanschaf van een parfum steunt de koper de realisatie van Collectie Arnhem 2014.COLLECTIE ARNHEM & ANNINDRIYA
De 22 studenten van Collectie Arnhem 2014 hebben in een unieke samenwerking met Tanja Deurloo van Annindriya het parfum ontwikkeld. Annindriya adviseert, ontwikkelt en implementeert innovatieve geurtoepassingen en parfumlijnen voor haar opdrachtgevers, die vooral binnen de mode, retail en technology industry werkzaam zijn. ‘Eau de la Mode’ vangt de geur van 60 jaar Arnhemse Mode. Het parfum is vanaf begin februari verkrijgbaar via Arnhem Coming Soon, Margreet Olsthoorn (Rotterdam) en Perfume Lounge (Amsterdam), en is nu al te bestellen via collectiearnhem.nl. Het parfum is verkrijgbaar in flacons van 80 ml en kost €100,-.

Collectie Arnhem's campaign image; "From Arnhem with Love" is shot by photographer Erwin Olaf.  With this campaign they ask attention for the degrading circumstances surrounding gay rights in Russia. The print was inspired on “Beat the white with the red wedge” by El Lissitzky. The t-shirt is available in a limited edition of 60 pieces and will be sold in order to support Amnesty International's LGBT project. 

"From Arnhem with Love" will be on exhibit at the Posthoorn kerk.
