Here's a little bit about me and my label
Designing clothes is my passion. Being obsessed with everything old/ vintage, organic and pure I strive to use ad many natural, organic, fair-trade and recycled materials in my creations as possible. I design, make patterns and sew everything from scratch to make unique and comfortable pieces you will end up wearing again and again. I attended a fashion-
trade school where I learned to love quality craftsmanship. Most of my pieces are one-of-a-kind, but there are some, 'few-of-a-kinds'. My clothing and accessories are not intended for wearing during only one season and deposit in the charity bin next. These designs are wearable, individual and nonconforming to fad trend. I am based in the southern part of the Netherlands, at the Werkgebouw, Tapijnkazerne, building W. I work together in the same building with other amazing craftsmanship people. We have together a shop we run that is open from Friday until Sunday between 12.00 to 17.00
In 2004 I held my first fashion show here in Maastricht. Back in those days I was_ making gothic clothes and working alot with pvc that isn't so sustainable. Around 2007 I got bad dreams about this. I decieded to give up the old label and make a new one that stands for the things I believe in (like sustainability). Solmode was born!! Since 2007, Solmode is an official company
