After having shown several looks during the latest Future Generation Presents The Painting six months ago Merel van Glabbeek was back at MBFWA on Friday. At the Transformatorhuis she presented her brand new collection. A collection full of vibrant looks in a color palette ranging from white and red to brown and black. A number of kimono inspired dresses looked easy to wear, yet had a luxurious touch to them. Embroidered details and tassle accessories gave the collection an extra exotic, perhaps even eastern- touch. Highly decorated, arty headpieces combined with super tight braids and interesting ankle boots turned the sophisticated looks into a complete fashion story. In Merel’s designs there’s always a focus on extensive handcrafting so this collection was no exception. And all that hard work certainly paid off today.
