The textile museum in Tilburg is currently having an exhibition about the Japanese designer Akira Minagawa, the man behind fashion label Minä Perhonen. Since I live close to Tilburg, I'm planning to visit real soon. I'm pretty sure it's going to be an interesting exhibition, but it's not just Akira Minagawa's work that I'm curious about. A small part of the exhibition will be dedicated to a Dutch fashion designer, Sanne Jansen, who has been working with Minä Perhonen in Japan.
Though the balloon-styled pictures above look rather festive, Sanne Jansen is especially inspired by the strict calvinist culture that has been dominating the Netherlands for a long time, and in some ways still is present here today. In her designs for her label .Sanne, she tries to find a balance between the beauty of this conservative, calvinist style and a more frivolous, feminine touch.
If you visit the museum between Thursdays and Sundays, come by the knitting departement and say hi! I work there and follow your blog, it will be nice to see you in person!
