SALON/istanbul presents: 'Present and Past + Identity and Perception', scarfs by SOEPBOER & STOOKER @ J.C. Herman

SCARFS IN WINDOW DISPLAY: 

title: present & past + identity & perception

Inspired by Countess Jacoba van Beieren a remarkable historical person from this region. Elements from her life such as traditional dress, Dutch ship trade/VOC and waterways are reflected in the designs. 

Present and Past + Identity and Perception were visualized in designs in which shapes and prints of the past get a new form and function in the present. This has resulted in garments which can be worn in different ways where there is an interaction between the individual pieces by means of encounters and connections.  

The significance of the individual designs becomes evident by merging them; four garments together, with a square base and a print, display the family arms of Jacoba of Beieren. Three garments are together a VOCcompass. The designs for the two silk scarves find their origin in folds; for storing clothes in cupboards and chests, it was necessary to fold in the old days. The more folds, the richer the owner was. The folds are visible on the print but the actual scarf isn’t folded, also the VOC painting is folded and then printed. 

A collection designed in collaboration with Anne Stooker. Commisioned by the municipality of Zaltbommel to promote the dutch fortress cities Gorinchem, Woudrichem, Castle Loevesteijn and Fort Vuren.

About Z E M. 

The label focuses on the transformation of archetypical menswear from a future forward perspective. Old is new again. Z E M is recognizable by its strong identity and style. A soft and authentic approach to menswear explores the identity of men. By bending the boundaries of menswear Z E M plays with the fragility of men. A sincere devotion to graphic formalism and structure is a source of inspiration for shape, colour and fabric.

For Z E M minimalism, attention to detail and ensuring high quality means wearable clothing for self assured, open-minded men who feel comfortable in their own skin.
