pioneers of change

from the 4th of September until the 14th of September, Pascale Gatzen, Sarah Stolwijk and students of IDC Fashion will be collaborating with Painted, a Dutch fashion collective, 3 generations of Native American bead masters and NY based lace makers, in a house on 

Governors Island as part of the manifestation 'Pioneers of Change', curated by Renny Ramakers of Droog Design, to celebrate the arrival of Henry Hudson in Manhattan 400 years ago.

Painted is Margreet Sweerts, Desiree Hammen and my good friend Saskia van Drimmelen.

Nightwood will furnish the house.

We consider the house as a present and our gift to the house is our work.
