Collection: Smeltkroes collection

You can only borrow or rent these items.

In the collection Smeltkroes, the field of tension between different subcultures is researched. We have done research on how subcultures influence each other and how this reflects on society.

What can we learn from each other? Which subculture enriches the other? What are the positives and negatives about the various subcultures and how can one express that to society through their clothing and fashion?

​The dress-code of certain subcultures has been combined in the designs in order to visualize the differences and similarities as a new harmony. This provides the insight that a person can belong to different groups at the same time, and also gives the person wearing this a more human face. They no longer get the label we had in mind. We can no longer 'categorize' this person. We are forced to think less in stereotypes.
