DAVID LAPORT . NETHERLANDS

Brand: David Laport
Graduate School: Royal Academy of Art, The Hague

David Laport's graduate collection is inspired by the moment of women's blown up skirt (which reminds me marilyn monroe). The discomfort of this awkward moment turns out to be a beautiful new shapes garment of his amazing collection. He also featured in the Lichting 2012 show.

MIRIAM DE WAARD . NETHERLANDS

Brands: Miriam de Waard
Graduate School: Royal Academy of Arts, The Hague

First thought of Miriam de Waard's dreamy delicate collection is the butterfly reinterpretation, the delicacy, fragility, layers of pleated see through materials, the whole collection is very cocoon like good. The gradient fabrics are much more shouting out like the wing of the butterfly. The mix of sheer, metallic, prints make the whole collection more rich and vibrant.
