RAW: Exploring the Underground Runway
Immerse yourself in an evening where fashion transcends boundaries, presenting a runway show by SOFI Studios. This exclusive event at Huis van Iemand Anders showcases the revolutionary work of six designers who are redefining the norms of fashion with their unique visions and artistic flair.
Featuring Designs By:
Akin James
From the vibrant culture of Curaçao to the creative heart of the Netherlands, Akin James brings his brand, 'All Talk No Walk,' a tribute to subcultures and the esoteric. His designs, deeply rooted in deconstructivism, transform preloved clothing into armor for the unique and the bold. Experience fashion as a statement of identity and a celebration of the so-called weirdos or outcasts.
Paula Gómez Mur
Embracing her Spanish heritage, Paula Gómez Mur explores the delicate balance between tradition and femininity through her designs. Her creations, a narrative of her internal conflicts with the feminine ideal, merge hyper-feminine elements with traditional motifs, offering a fresh perspective on women's fashion.
Mikołaj Szwaja
A student at Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Mikołaj Szwaja's designs (pictured) blur the lines between femininity and masculinity, challenging traditional forms and symmetry. His fascination with the warrior's soul and a recent foray into the high-tempo, sharp sounds of music as a DJ add depth to his fashion narrative.
Lili Jullian
Lili Jullian's witchy, seductive designs promise an enchantment of love and empowerment. With a focus on genderless and modular fashion, her creations cater to a wide range of sizes, advocating for love, equality, and zero waste. Her unique line of queer teddy bears, crafted from garment waste, embodies her vision of playful positivity and conscious living.
Elle Rusu
Elle Rusu, a designer in training at Gerrit Rietveld Academie, is pioneering unconventional silhouettes and volumes. Her commitment to sustainability shines through her use of repurposed textiles and deadstock materials, creating one-off items that challenge everyday garment norms.
Lara Renner
A multifaceted artist and globally recognized DJ, Lara Renner blends intense basslines with avant-garde soundscapes, offering a glimpse into her vision of merging sound with three-dimensional artwork. Her passion for textile, sculpture, and painting critiques normative structures, promising a future where music and art converge.
