For these new designs I focused on a colour palette of coral and gold. I played around with different thong models, both high and low waist. Special thanks to my gorgeous model Leau, who did not pose once, but twice to get the job done. (I'm still working with analogue film roll, and first time I messed it up! So we had to reshoot.)

Leau's golden colored hair and green eyes were a perfect match with my designs.

At the request of her husband, I created this two piece for Eefje De Visser. At her request we went for an all black design. I played with subtle see-through and soft lines in my pattern work. With a beautiful, leave-shaped embroidery as a starting point, this became the result.

I challenged myself in the color and embroidery department. A special thanks to my beautiful Tu, for presenting my designs with so much elegance.

I made this lingerie set as a gift for my mum and was grateful when she agreed on being my model for a photoshoot. 

Past couple of years I’ve fitted hundreds of different women with all kinds of bodies, shapes and stories. Joining somebody in a fitting room, while they're standing almost naked in front of a mirror gives you insight in their minds at their most vulnerable point. Everytime again I'm amazed by the power of women and by the strength of their bodies that show the stories they've lived. 

In these pictures you see my mother, who has lived for almost 60 years. Who has carried three children and has lost one. Who has the most soft touch and can still hold me as tenderly in her arms as when I was a young girl.
