Fashion designer Rens Kwakkenbos makes distinctive streetwear from old textiles and deadstock. At The Purple Show during Dutch Design Week, he shows how reuse, self-expression and inclusivity come together in his clothing designs.
From existing textiles to distinctive streetwear
The fast pace of producing, buying and throwing away in the fast fashion industry demands a lot of raw materials and creates ever more textile waste. For The Purple Show, Rens Kwakkenbos makes distinctive streetwear from old textiles and deadstock: unused leftover fabric stock. By reusing existing textiles and experimenting with shape, colour and material, Rens offers a sustainable alternative to fast fashion.

During Dutch Design Week, Rens presents his designs. They invite you to look differently at discarded and unused textiles: as valuable material for new clothing that lets you express your own style.
