Our story
The current graduate generation of
designers has innovative, refreshing
visions that are stirring things
up. During their four years at the
Willem de Kooning Academy, they
have discovered ways to express
themselves and learnt to look beyond
the characteristics of the current
fashion system. They proceed in a
more interdisciplinary manner.
Fashion is a way of thinking, visually
communicating to the world and a
conceptual manner to reflect upon
our surroundings. These students
didn’t sit around and accepted to be
trained as one particular designer;
they are stubborn, independent and
inimitable. Students specialize in the
area corresponding to their talents,
ambitions and fascinations. Therefore
there will be a variety of disciplines
whereby students graduate in;
film, technology, sustainability,
craftsmanship, etc. Forming the
event: RECONSTRUCT
With this initiative we want to boost
Design in Rotterdam as well as
encouraging people from different art
and design disciplines to collaborate
amongst each other. Our aim is to
inspire the audience by showing ways
of innovative presentations within
Fashion
They strive to end their years of
studying with an event whereby
each student can present their work
in their own exceptional approach.
This is their opportunity to show the
outside world what they are capable
of by making the audience interact
with them/their work.
