It was only a matter of time until Dutch clothing brands and Dutch fashion as a whole got their due recognition on the world stage. Hailing from a land and culture that, despite being relatively small and often insular in its demeanour, has been always associated with a forward-thinking mindset able to stay ahead of the trends in pop culture and the arts.
In particular, what distinguishes Dutch clothing brands from other countries is their inherent capacity to construct entire worlds around their projects, where products are merely a facet of their brand identities.
