Last week we visited The Hague's KABK (Koninklijke Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten) graduation show. Not only graduation students showed their collections, but also 2nd and 3rd years. Some of them surprisingly good, refined and well executed. Also last year's students didn't disappoint. 4 collections of which the deconstructed men's collection of Nicolaas Hein and the modest collection of Lotte Mostert are our favorites.
Bastian Visch's impressionistic painted jacket (3rd year)
Christa van der Meer's conceptual collection (3rd year)
Lotte Mostert's graduation collection
At Amsterdam's Rietveld Academy 5 fashion students graduated. Pablo Londono Sarria's men's collection stood out most: a surprising mix of colorful streetwear and knitwear.
