_JANTINE VAN PESKI’S WIRES 10.0 COLLECTION

Jantine van Peski studied at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute before attending the Fashion Department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, where she graduated in 2011 from a master (MA) degree with ‘WIRES 10.0’ collection. Her work focuses on silhouette and craftsmanship, with great attention to materials and techniques used.

Jantine’s was strongly influenced by the textile sculptures from the 1970’s and specifically the macramé-technique. 

That was the starting point to construct pieces of clothing out of cord and yarn, straight from the body and using only one type of knot.

Her main focus is to find the daring symbiosis between the handcrafted pieces and the minimalistic, pure designs of the garments. The silhouettes are rich and refined, centered around firm constructions.

The knotted pieces are made of 100% silk yarns or blended with merino wool. 
Some pieces are made completely made of woolen yarns.
