VLISCO RELEASES ‘CELEBRATE COLLECTION

Spread the love
Dutch wax Vlisco celebrates the new season by paying tribute
to the art of the drawing. This season’s collection was inspired by Vlisco’s
rich history of drawing. For over a century Vlisco textiles, with their unique
ornaments and geometric patterns, have influenced the fashion landscape in West
and Central Africa, where Vlisco is known as the only brand creating authentic
Dutch Wax fabrics, known as ‘Hollandais’ by many. The focus on the drawings is
also the ultimate way to round off a year in which Vlisco celebrated their
commitment to art. Focusing on the most important aspect of their fabrics, the
print, they designed the collection so that each fabric features a distinct
drawing; an illustration, an object inspired by real life or an abstract or
graphic pattern.
As the creative director, Roger Gerards explains: “Without
fantasy, thought or story there can be no drawing, which is why Vlisco affords
its designers plenty of freedom. No matter how graphic a design, there’s always
a sketch behind it. Take away the intricate layers of colour, and you’ll notice
just how important drawing is to create the overall effect our fabrics are so
famous for.” “This season’s collection has a romantic feel, with decorative
lines representing dream worlds – visualized through drawing. Our designers
made illustrative designs that play with your fantasy and trigger your
emotions.
