“I want to create a kind of market where various creators from various fields gather together and encounter each other in an on going atmosphere of beautiful chaos: the mixing up and coming together of different kindred souls who all share a strong personal vision.”

Students chose to design a shirt for one of the following labels: Azzedine Alaia, Aganovich, Ann Demeulemeester, Casely-Hayford, Celine, Chalayan, Dior, Facetasm, Valentino, Giambattista Valli, J.W. Anderson, Erdem, Jacuemus, Simone Rocha, Molly Goddard, Phoebe English, Sacai, Thom Browne, Walter Van Beirendonck to name a few.

Another challenge was the making of the shirt – this project is the FIRST make project. As a project it develops a real understanding of the design process from concept to realisation.
