RVDK Ronald van der Kemp Couture Spring 2024 Collection

A Sustainable Masterpiece

Ronald van der Kemp celebrates his sustainable couture brand's 10th anniversary with a collection that showcases the art of sustainability. The designs, inspired by Nan Goldin's exhibition "This Will Not End Well", are a statement on the existential threat of climate crisis and AI.

Van der Kemp's collection is a unique blend of traditional couture and otherworldly pieces with a punkish vibe. His designs promote empathy and encourage people to put down their phones and connect with those around them.

The designer's deft tailoring is evident throughout the collection, with unexpected details such as pockets made from misprinted currency, a papier-mâché dress with geometric shapes, a colorful patchwork gown made from upcycled canvas paintings, and a wafting pink dress made from couture remnants.

The collection's chaotic vibe is a reflection of the world's current state, according to van der Kemp. He hopes that people will appreciate the passion and fun he has for fashion and be inspired to follow him.
