Design Brief
Anouk and Vera were commissioned to explore how interior and fashion could fuse, in a combined creative expression.
Feeling inspired by the many expressive and layered KOBE fabrics, AnoukxVera transported the fabrics from the walls and chairs closer to the human body to become tiny surrealistic homes without a roof. This fusion of living and wearing is explored in three suits.
The suits emphasise an exploration of the senses, as seen for example in the multicoloured pallet suit and the sofa suit, and touch upon modular or flexible garment concepts. Use your garment like a curtain or become a sofa.
