My work could be described as colorful and sometimes alternative. I find it important that people dare to be themselves and with my work I try to give people the confidence to do so.

I grew up in a village close to Amsterdam. Amsterdam has fascinated me since I was a kid. When I was 8 years old I moved to the countryside of the Netherlands. The nature there always inspired me to create new images, new designs, and it still brings me new ideas.

In 2014 I graduated Cum Laude from high school. Then I decided to study Allround Styling at Academie Artemis. I discovered the fascinating world of fashion, trends and design, but I also learned to love musea, enjoy art and take photo's of everything that inpspires me.

In 2018 I received my Bachelor of Arts by graduating from Academie Artemis. Academie Artemis is an academy for styling, focused on interior, fashion, media, food and retail.

I get inspired by unique individuals. Often I find the things that ordinary people might dislike very inspiring. It's important for me to make people feel something when they look at my work.

Latest Collection

stop and smell the flowers

Stop and smell the flowers is the latest collection designed by Stephastique. The collection is a reminder to be fully present in the moment. With printed messages like 'memento mori', 'carpe diem', skulls, hourglasses and of course flowers, the collection is a reminder to slow down, to look for and enjoy the beauty of life, and to take a moment to simply be, and reconnect. But the collection is also a reminder to appreciate life and mother nature. With this collection we would like you to stop your business as usual and rethink your actions.

The fashion system is broken. Globally we produce up to 100 billion pieces of clothing a year, taking a terrible toll on the planet and people who make them. There is an abundance of clothing and textiles already in circulation which is why this collection was produced only using deadstock and leftover materials. But also through redesigning existing clothes. By creatively repairing, re-using, altering and upcycling we have minimised the use of new resources, creating a collection existing of unique, one of a kind items.

With this collection Stephastique would like to encourage you to quiet your mind, step back from distractions. To stop and smell the flowers, before it is too late.
