This strong and colorful collection was inspired by ripped up publicity panels and a love for fashion photography and strong graphic identity. For you to get to know him better we asked Mestgagh a few questions: How did you start this project? I wanted to work around the concept that showed the power and strength of fashion photography and fashion imagery. I’ve always been attracted to highly stylized and iconic fashion images in magazines and advertisements and they were the main inspiration for starting the collection.
During a walk trough the Paris metro stations I came across an advertisement from the department store les Galleries Lafayette. On the advertisement there were two models shown who were wearing very skinny trousers. Right from the waist up the poster was ripped off and the silhouette of the long legs continued into the rips of the paper. It created a new and abstract kind of silhouette and it was the main inspiration for the shapes and the graphic identity of the collection. By seeing these ripped advertisements I started to get interested into how you can create, by an act of aggression on a beautiful picture, a kind of tension or disruption on an image.

Afterwards I made blow- ups of these prints and started to think how I would translate them to into 3- Dimensional garments. Can you tell us more about the shapes? For the shapes of the clothing I looked to the clean and architectural volumes of midcentury couture gowns. They had and elegance but also a kind of static and strong feeling that worked really well together with the impact of the prints. I used trompe l’oeil effects by printing the paper collages on different fabrics and reinforcing them with stiff non woven and paper. So it has the effect and lightness of paper but the fabrics have enough stiffness and structure to hold the shapes.
I also worked with pleating systems in full skirts where the two pictures are fused together to recreate the feeling of rotating billboards.

The direction . I see a great opportunity for designers to work together with scientists and use each other’s knowledge for co- creation. Can you describe your creative process?
How do you start your project, what is your goal and how do you know it’s finished? To start with, I take a period to do research into scientific developments; I go to lectures, watch documentaries and I read about it. When I find something that takes my interest, I try to find if there is a scientific discipline related to the subject and to find someone working in that field. Often professors are quite willing to call or meet me in person, and at this point I already have some sketches of what I imagine could be a done with the technique I have in mind. If the professor finds it interesting he/she puts me in contact with his or her (master) students, who are often happy doing something new and experimental.
After I understand the science, technique and the essence of the technology to try to simplify it. Then I try to make the technology part of the design and when it’s working, I know it’s finished. If I look at the projects you did, like . What makes you being fascinated with light? I am mostly fascinated with alternative and natural forms of energy. Light is only one of the many .
We are currently living in a time where energy is a concept that is and needs to rapidly change.

This lamp only needs a bit of nourishment once a month. I personally believe that taking care of your lamp enhances the relationship between product and its user.
What are your plans for the future? I think it is an important step to see if I can create a living lamp that is available on the market. I have noticed that there’s a great trend where designers create experimental and conceptual designs. It’s important to show people that also these experimental designs could become part of your daily life. Besides making prototypes, which I love doing the most, it’s important to take the experimental crossover of disciplines to a next level and make it available to anyone’s interest.
My dream is that people have to ask their neighbours to feed their lamp whenever they go on a holiday. Nine van der Walwww. Teresa van Dongen, AMBIO2. She has created things as long as she can remember: drawings, prints, comics, stories, poetry and songs.
Her project . Instead of diminishing clothes, she turns their change into something positive. Textiles become more interesting through processes such as washing, surface friction and color change by sunlight. With this, the consumer is tempted to use them longer. What was your main inspiration for this project? The idea was born three years ago. I can feel very guilty and responsible towards things.
The overall idea in society is that something looks best if it looks like new (with some exceptions of course). So mostly, traces make things less attractive. However, I realised that I could feel emotionally good if I saw traces of use on products, because it shows these weren’t made for nothing. That’s why I thought about creating good looking . As it’s the most important topic in design, it can feel heavy weighted and a lot of responsibility because we need to buy less and use things longer. This project can be an inspiration for both consumers and companies, to see that there are various nice notions of durability. It would be great to make this accessible for many people.
Do you think the textiles of this project could be used for mass- production in the near future? I would like to develop this project further, make it easier to produce and super sustainable. To achieve that I need investors and partners from the industry, so unfortunately this will not be in the near future but I am working on it. Besides that, .
