Says van Dongen, "Is the body the content and the clothes the container, or is it the other way round? My work explores the void between the body and the garment. Alienating shapes or capsules floating around the body are turned into clothes, like organic sculptures. Metal knitwear and the contrast between dark shades and bright tops create a sharp, minimalistic feel. In collaboration with Freedom Of Creation I developed an innovative shoe, which is printed three-dimensional."
Made of laser sintered nylon, one of FOC's manufacturing partners, CNC speedform, supported the creation of the futuristic concept by producing all of the featured shoes.
