Willem de Kooning academy x DEPOT graduation film now online
In collaboration with eleven fashion design graduates of the Willem de Kooning Academy, a film was made to present the special and unique outfits of the young designers.
The film, which was shot in Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, is called 'Colage of Dreams'. As a viewer, you are transported into the dreams of the students that take place in the building. The fashion collections of the eleven students were recorded in different places in the depot, creating a 'site-specific' connection between the Boijmans collection and the designers. As a result, the film contains unique connections between young and old, fashion and art and creative ambitions in different stages.
Inspired by the Boijmans collection
The Boijmans collection has had a special impact on the development of the group of designers. One of the first activities they undertook as a class was a visit to the exhibition by Bertjan Pot, which was very inspiring for them. They are also fascinated by high fashion in the Boijmans collection, such as the designs by Martin Margiela and Viktor&Rolf. Which brought them into contact with the designers' avant-garde pieces for the first time.
