From January 6, 2012 through June 26, 2012
With CULTURE COUTURE, The Tropen Museum in Amsterdam shows how authentic costumes from different cultures can inspire new, contemporary couture.
In this exhibition you’ll see the work of three promising international designers from Antwerp’s renowned Fashion Academy:
Manon Kundig, Teddy Beard Collection
Tabitha Osler, Mount Analogue (Be sure to look at her website!)
Wali Mohammed Barrec, Shoes
More info at Tropen Museum
Finally, a nice text from the site of Tabitha Osler …
Fashion …
Tumbleweed
Any plant which habitually breaks away from its roots in the autumn, and is driven by the wind, as a light, rolling mass, over the fields and prairies. Spreading its seeds for the following season.

Oh, how I wish I could go to this and I wish the museum website showed more images from the exhibition.
Great film at the beginning of Tabitha’s website…I like her website layout
