Jivika Biervliet & Sarena Huizinga

11:00 - Westergasfabriek
Fashion Week LAB

Jivika Biervliet is a menswear designer who is graduated from the Utrecht school of Arts in 2010 (Fashion Communication)
She became particularly attracted to Men's fashion because there seem to be more rules about what can and what can not
which makes it more interesting for her to search the limits.
In her opinion there's no need to be a difference between children's, women's, and men's fashion, in her view everything is allowed .
The playfulness is recognizable for her work.
With her work she always tries to tell a story. This time about the child inside of us that will live forever.

The collection Wickedland that will be presented this Fashion Week is inspired on soft toys. Each year at Queen's day she goes looking for the ugliest doll or stuffed animal. Elements of this odd collection are used in the outfits.

In 2009 Huizinga made one of the winning designs for the Calvijn Classics fashion contest.
