This evening part of Hellen van Rees’ collection can be seen at the opening show of the Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week in Amsterdam.
The show theme is talking trash and aims to create awareness among consumers about the huge amounts of waste created by the fashion industry. The garments shown are thus made of trash or waste materials, both showing high fashion and wearable items.
Other designers showing at the opening event are: Hans Ubbink, Monique Collignon, Danya Weevers, Map Renes and Judith van Vliet. During the coming week several events follow to highlight sustainable brands and stores.
