hui-hui/

.

jan- jan van essche is doing it his way.

graduated 2003 in the antwerp royal academy  with fourfold award winning final year collection,

jan- jan launched his first collection yukkuri two weeks ago at  ateliersolarshop.

yukkuri, japanese for slowly, or taking it easy  is the common denominator for a contemporary , urban collection with

folkloristic influences.

good materials, embroidery, waving and braiding technics in sober shades of grey with a dash of light-blue denim

make this a laid back and  wearable  mens collection. for us it could perfectly work as a unisex collection.

below the designer himself in some of our favourites.

the collection is available off the shelf  and numbered and produced in small quantities.

tomorrow is the finissage in antwerp. in september the pop-up-solarshop will be open again

with jan-jan s collection, hui-hui and various designers.

erika in hui-hui  dress from the julian collection.

below: the bear skirt of erika found its place on the title of the showoff magazine created by the students which is

published for the end of the schoolyear.

.

allways a little nostalgic to see the show of the royal antwerp academy.

and impressive and inspiring.

failed to take sharp pictures, so this is a blurry impression on what you should defintely have a look at:

the work of all these talented people.
