Dutch Profiles: Klavers van Engelen

Fashion designers Niels Klavers and Astrid van Engelen graduated from the prestigious Gerrit Rietveld academy in Amsterdam. Their label Klavers van Engelen ranged from purely conceptual to highly wearable fashion from 2007 until 2011. With their work, Klavers and van Engelen searched for new perspectives and tried to mislead the eye.

Here in a showroom in Amsterdam they explain their preliminary last collection to fashion critic Milou van Rossum.

Klavers and Van Engelen liked to cross borders by working with theater and musicians. In this video, for example, with the pianist Tomoko Mukaiyama, in the performance 'Show me your second face'.

Since their first collaboration in the late nineties, and their reunion in 2007, both designers have shifted to more wearable designs. A general development which took place across Dutch fashion during the course of the past decade. A development which gained designers like Klavers and Van Engelen an international podium.
