LICHTING 2013 X G-STAR RAW

Henriëtte Tilanus is the winner of this year’s Lichting supported by G-Star RAW. Both fashion professionals within the audience and an international panel of fashion connoisseurs chose the recent graduate of the ArtEZ Institute of Arts as the most promising Dutch design talent. In addition to awarding Tilanus the G-Star RAW Talent Award of €10,000, the jury recognized the impressive talent of all 2013 Dutch fashion graduates. 

Tilanus designed her collection as a tribute to Lady Edith Sitwell, an eccentric British writer known for her uncanny sense of drama and style. According to Tilanus today’s society is in need of more creative visionaries like Sitwell, a sentiment supported by many in the fashion industry. ©thdress.com
