In the 2020s, the Netherlands breeds startups that push fashion to experiment in both technology and sustainability, such as 3D digital design, biodesigned textiles and new manufacturing techniques. With sustainability at the core of their philosophy, they are helping fashion to reimagine its business models. “Our fashion ecosystem covers all aspects of sustainability, digital transformation, innovation and disruptive technologies,” says Marike Geertsma.

FW 13 | "...The whole thing was about the idea of escaping the body; the body escaping itself and then being held back, so it was like a reluctant spirit that doesn't want to leave. So the clothes were always about moving away, but being held back, so that's why we had these layers that shift. Those clothes were really about transforming from one idea to another; you would change the identity of the wearer, in relation to the theme. "
