TESSA WAGENVOORT IS A WOMENSWEAR DESIGNER, BASED IN THE HAGUE, WHERE SHE GRADUATED IN 2010 AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS. SINCE THEN SHE HAS BEEN SETTING UP HER OWN LABEL. WAGENVOORT’S WORK IS KNOWN FOR TEXTILES WITH HANDMADE PRINTS AND THE USE OF SPECIAL PRINTING TECHNIQUES. INSPIRED BY TRAVELLING, NATURE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP SHE COLLECTS IMAGES AS THE STARTING POINT FOR HER WORK. SHE TRANSLATES THESE IMAGES INTO TEXTILE PRINTS AND THREE DIMENSIONAL DESIGNS, WHICH ARE, FOR WAGENVOORT, INEXTRICABLY CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER. BY USING TECHNIQUES FROM OLD CRAFTS AND MOULAGE, SHE LETS THINGS HAPPEN BY COINCIDENCE.
