Louise Helder
Native Land: The Netherlands

The design

A dress made from old shirts, it is Liberation Day and Louise hops as a girl in her blue dress and a bunch of marigolds to the place where she waits for the queen. You can see the movement of the hopped girl in the swinging skirt. Together with Louise we printed the orange flowers on the shirts on the shoulder part. Because of the big rosary you can see that she was young herself. The rosary was caught during the war as hope but also distraction during anxious times.
