MARCEL VEENENDAAL rocking a wardrobe of several Performance Couture Looks in de Kuip.
🔥DI-RECT in de KUIP🔥
DEVIL DON’T CARE
On the 11th. of November 2019 I saw Marcel Veenendaal with DI-RECT promoting their Song Devil don’t care at De Wereld draait door. Jamel Armand and Chantel Koo did the Art direction for that captivating video. It’s about Mingus a young guy that likes to wear dresses and make-up so he’s experimenting with his sexuality. Which immediately struck a cord with my own identity! Being kind of fluid myself. Also Bo van Spilbeeck the Belgian transgender journalist was at the table and the talk with Marcel was about selfacceptance and the bumpy road towards it. Now what Marcel said really touched me because he said besides a brand or anything you would wear yellow which Bo was wearing being the beautiful person she now is… the bumpy road of selfacceptance and then the fucking world against you. Also the way Marcel dressed intuitively felt right with what I was creating at the time. At that moment I decided to send an email straight away to contact Marcel and his management. I got his number and within a few weeks Marcel came to my shop in the @fenix in Katendrecht. We clicked and this is where our professional journey began! This performance couture a dramatic floorlong Monk Coat with many high slits lined in EYES art print and dramatic blouse and wide pleated pants both in EYES art print and big topstitched round collar is designed and created specially for Marcel performing Devil don’t care with a massive winged mindblowing EYES printed Art parachutecape. A full circle moment!💚🖤💚
Some things in life feel surreal! This was one of them! Day 1 yesterday in my hometown of Rotterdam @de.kuip@directband rocked their first concert of three.
And we did the costume designs what a dream❣️ Thank you’s to @directband@agentsafterall@mrbeam_studio and everyone who made this possible @jamelarmand for the art EYE prints Zoltan for helping with production and ofcourse @veenendaalmarcel for rocking our designs and giving the chance❣️ So grateful will never forget this moment❣️🙏🏼❤️ You are all amazing! Wonderful video by @setvexy and amazing team 📸🎥

“Temple of Transformation”
A sculptural, layered couture mantle constructed from upcycled silk and reclaimed textiles.
The silhouette expands like a living altar — protective, ancestral, sovereign.
A garment that moves like ritual.
A temple worn on the body.
