INNER CHILD

WELCOME TO MY PLAYGROUND

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
Pablo Picasso

The collection Inner Child is a personal tribute to the power of children’s creativity. The prints are inspired by the childhood drawings of my brothers, sisters and me. I also approached the classic shirt in the open, experimental and imaginative way young childeren can have.

The message I want to communicate with this collection is that you can approach your inner child at every age. You can reach your inner child by looking at life in an open, non-condemning and playful way.

DRESSING UP PARTY

I did a lot of dressing up party's with children, because they have a different way of looking at clothing then adults. Elin of five made a dress and a skirt out of a shirt by knotting the sleeves around her wrist. This playful way of looking at garments was very inspirational for me.

MY INTERPRETATION

---

DRAWING ON SHOES

Children always draw on everything. This is also what I started to do, for example on shoes. The prints are inspired by children's
drawings.

PRINTS

I am fascinated by children's drawings. They are full of fantasy, playful, often witty and free. This is why I translated old children's drawings of my siblings and me into prints.
