ROYAL
CONCERT
HALL

 

Young people don't visit classical concerts. Once the center of society, the Amsterdam Royal Concert Hall now knows mainly an audience still reminiscent of different times. One of the things that keeps young people from attending is the expectation of feeling out of place. Can we break this cycle and create a great incentive to go by turning their old clothes into an outfit suitable for the concert hall?

 ------------------------------  concept

 

Stepping out of your comfort zone is necessary to achieve certain goals, but can be hard. The correct outfit can help you spark conversation and turn heads, but especially in a moment of vulnerability we'd rather dress ourselves in the clothes we know and feel safe in. Our overlay collection allows you to do so, but make things more interesting nonetheless.

TAILORED TO THE

THE BAROQUE SECTION OF THE LONDON NATIONAL GALLERY

"It's just pretty"

 

The National Gallery is brimmed with portraits, and one thing they all have in common are the clothes that play a large role in the setting and story told on canvas. We still use clothes to express ourselves and we talk about what the influencers and celebs we follow are wearing, but has fast fashion and its path to destruction affected the deeper meaing that clothing once held as well?
