When you were a little person, did you draw on your clothes? I never did, but I want to now.
Not only can you draw on this dress but you can pull it apart and change the style.

How it works is you (as the wearer) are able to colour in as much or little as you feel. These patterns are transformed by the person whom wears them. Red, green blue, rainbow? It totally up to you, kinda like those bracelet-kits you could buy from the supermarket when you were a kid.

“I especially design clothing which can be worn in different ways, so the owner can make choices in how to wear the cloth.”- Berber Soepboer

The second dress allows you to add or subtract parts of the dress to suit to suit your needs.

Berber Soepboer the creator teamed up with graphic designer Michielis Schuurman, to create these dresses. Michielis says “It was A LOT of work (I designed over a 100 patterns and Berber worked around the clock to get the sewing and the hundreds of buttons done) but I had an incredible time.”

The colouring & the assembly dresses were shown on the 7th of September in Bergeick in ‘De Ploeg‘, a very well known textile factory.
