An inspiring fashion talk with designer Tess van Zalinge, in collaboration with the Amsterdam Museum. Van Zalinge is known for her handmade, sustainable couture, crafted in her Amsterdam atelier using “found” materials. Her work moves at the intersection of fashion and the performing arts, with collaborations in opera and ballet. In 2026, her label celebrates its tenth anniversary.
The talk connects thematically to LACRIMA by Caroline Guiela Nguyen, also presented at De Meervaart, which centers on the hands behind the making of a royal wedding dress. Like the performance, Van Zalinge offers a glimpse behind the scenes of couture.
