Little did I know about the fashion industry in Holland, except for Viktor & Rolf. The contemporary design houses from Paris, Berlin and Milan always get most of my attention but after some serious internet browsing, I found this guy, Sjaak Hullekes - a young Dutch designer with an obviously cool sense of style (I want his glasses!). I realized there are so many fashion talents all over Europe that have yet to be discovered, I mean... that deserve as much exposure as world renowned fashion labels.
Sjaak Hullekes, born in 1981, just won an award from the International Jury in the Mercedez Benz Dutch Fashion Awards 2009 for his Spring/Summer 2010 collection 'Oscar', featuring mostly linen and silk-based dress pants along with extra revealing short shorts for men.
And to think that most fashion talents usually come from a nation's capital. This guy is an exception. Based in Arnhem, a smaller city in the eastern part of Netherlands, Sjaak Hullekes collaborates with his partner, Sebastian Kramer, under the name Arnheim Fashion. Not like their couple-alike seniors, Dolce and Gabbana, who tend to join forces as if to declare their love union, Sjaak and Sebastian have a more modern way of thinking. They run Arnheim Fashion together and at the same time, both still manage their own menswear labels, Sjaak with 'Sjaak Hullekes', and Sebastian with 'Sebastic'. Hmm, speaking of separating business and personal space in a relationship.
