Van der Ham pieces together fashion of different eras, meaning that one dress can have shape from the 20's, material from the 60's, and a sleeve from the 70's. He says "There are these amazing and rare dresses made by Andy Warhol in 1975 for the 'Fashion as Fantasy' exhibition, which was curated by Diana Vreeland. Each dress is made from sections or panels of designer dresses like Yves Saint Lauren, Oscar De La Renta, Valentino, Diane Von Furstenberg etc... I thought it would be a good idea to base the whole collection of dresses on this idea but instead of just using 1970's dresses I expanded the research into the 1920's, 1950's and 1960's shapes too. Each dress would become a mismatch and clash of fabrics, colours and cut. It's about certain elements together that you wouldn't normally sew together." You can buy his dresses at Liberty.
