Duran Lantink
We should be very conscious that we are living in an era where it is not possible to wear a skirt just one time and then throw it way. For this reason, I am working on the way we can save fabrics and use it for something new. If you have a leather pants and it breaks down, it does not necessarily have to remain some pants, but it could become a top or something else. Everything can be transformed.

The work of designer Duran Lantink (1989, The Hague) lies at the intersection of art and fashion. Sustainability, equality and emancipation are important subjects in his creations. According to him, innovative garments do not have to consist of the most modern materials but can also be built from existing designs. With his designs he has made the term 'upcycling' popular. He has collaborated with international superstars such as Billie Eilish and Janelle Monáe.
