Fashion Week LAB

Melissa Siegrist, (1984, Amsterdam) started studying Architecture at the School of Arts in
Utrecht and later she completed the study of Fashion at Arnhem Institute of fine Arts.
She graduated womenswear with a very masculine touch.
The 2010 graduation collection was a sober clear and fresh
Sportswear inspired clothes executed in classic poplins, wools, and jersey
Strong tailored shorts, polo’s, and blouses, in greytones,
A relaxed silhouette, comfortable and elegant.
After two internships at Viktor & Rolf Menswear, and an internship in New York with
Three As Four, she is taking her steps to further explore menswear.
For this AIFW collection, Melissa continues to explore the borders between classic men
and womenwear, always with respect to menly behaviour.

Combinations of big sculptural tops, with fluid bottoms in multiple layers.
Intrigued by vulcano’s and their fertitlity and power
