Mimi Berlin’s Fashion-Fest #4; us wearing Dick Holthaus, October 2015. With this self-portrait we want to remember Dutch Couturier Dick Holthaus, who sadly passed away this year. The portrayed are wearing VintageDeluxe outfits designed by Dick Holthaus in the 1960s.*
We really would like to thank the following people very much for their generousity, kindness, time and knowledge: JW Kaldenbach, Ferry van der Nat and Ulrike Träge (collectioneurs of (vintage) clothing), The Vintage Snatcher (bijoux), Petra Kamphuis, Milou van Rossum, Gümmischtuck, Joey Holthaus, Baukje Bies, Amber Jansen, Machteld Schouten, Manon Schaap and Wendelien Daan
These outfits (and more iconic pieces of Dutch fashion) can be seen and touched at De Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam at the “Collected By” part of the exhibition; Temporary Fashion Museum (13/09/2015 – 08/05/2016)
* (minus men’s wear/the far left: 2 piece suit: Hanro for Gerzon/middle top 2 piece suit: ILGWU; International Ladies Garment Worker Union imported from the USA)
Initially the concept for MBFF4 was to pharaprase the “brides’ photo by Paul Huf, made in 1963 at the studio of Dick Holthaus. As you can see we decided, while working, that MBFF4 should have a different outcome. Sometimes there’s just no need for a group-portrait to paraphrase an image; in the case of MBFF4 we actually only needed one model: Joey Holthaus in a (vintage) dress designed by his uncle Dick Holthaus.
We really would like to thank the following people very much for their kindness, time and knowledge: Machteld Schouten, Taco Stuiver, Mark van Vorstenbos, Twann Janssen, Ferry van der Nat, Peter Jeroense, Peter Jansen, Milou van Rossum, Rita Suers, Riëtte Wanders, Edel Verzijl, Conny Groenewegen, Jan Willem Kaldenbach, Matthijs Boelee, Angelique Janssen, Sjoukje Bierma, Amber Jansen, Dennis Diem, Louise Pot, Wendelien Daan, Bastiaan Thijssen.
