Fabric Illustration for Fashion Designer Rachid Assoui.
Chique d'Afrique.
For his new collection Chique d'Afrique fashion designer Rachid Assoui asked me to create orientalistic fabric designs which are shown during the Africa Fashion Week in the Lazzoni hotel in Istanbul, where I also photographed the models on the catwalk.

The Milkmaid.
The fabric design of The Milkmaid is an African style
version of the famous painting by Johannes Vermeer.
After the African Fashion Week in Istanbul a new version of The Milkmaid was made in nineties neon colours.

Eyeball Chandelier.
Artist Hans van Bentem made a sketch for an eyeball chandelier and I was asked by Rachid to turn his idea into another fabric illustration for the collection Chique d’Afrique. The result of this dress is photographed by Hans Withoos.
Eyeball Plaid.
Rachid Assoui used the Eyeball fabric design to create a limited edition plaid, made from super soft high quality recycled polyester. The top is as soft as fleece and the back has a sheepskin look.
