Press release:

Fashion & Textile designer Renske Versluijs graduated from the Master Fashion design HKU in August 2008. In September 2008 she won the competition for 'most creative designer' at the Upperground Festival in Amsterdam. From January 22st until February the 22th she will present her first collection 'I OBJECT' during an exhibition in Petersburg Project Space.

'I OBJECT' answers towards the growing dissatisfaction among women that do not recognize themselves in the way women are portrayed in Western visual culture. Therefore Renske Versluijs created a collection inspired by cultures that deal with this issue differently. The collection gives new insights into women's fashion by exploring the boarders between private and public.

The official opening will be on the 25th of January with a performance and drinks!

During Fashion Week the window of Kvadrat will be the place where fashion designer Gary Symor collaborates with Renske Versluijs in creating a mise-en-scène that uses interior textile in order to expand their view on Fashion.

Guest artists:

5-8 feb: Helen Gras en Sabijn Peeters (opening op 5 feb om 18.00) 12-15 feb: Alet Pilon 19-22 feb: Gary Symor
