The Netherlands’ womenswear designers have embraced a wearable aesthetic, ofering ease without losing edge, and attracting international attention in the process, as Kate Moore discovers

EFFORTLESS COOL

onceptual, innovative and open-minded yet pragmatic are all words that have been used to describe the Dutch fashion industry. These laudable traits have meant that, since the mid 1990s, the country’s ready-towear labels have started to attract increasing international attention, with brands such as SuperTrash, Scotch & Soda, Claudia Sträter and Viktor & Rolf leading the charge. Home to two of the world’s most accomplished fashion academies, in Eindhoven and Arnhem, and a varied programme of events including Amsterdam International Fashion Week, the Arnhem Mode Biennale and the Dutch Fashion Awards, Holland is rapidly becoming one of Europe’s leading womenswear destinations.

Occupying the space between high-street and luxury labels, SuperTrash is one of the leading brands to have emerged from the Netherlands in recent years.

Its contemporary collections feature everything from luxe knitwear and statement stilettos to printed dresses and denim staples. ‘In the digital era fashion is accessible to everyone, but that doesn’t mean it’s afordable for everyone,’ explains Olcay Gulsen, the brand’s owner.

‘I hope that SuperTrash bridges the gap and makes fashion a reality for more women.’

The label, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, regularly shows at Amsterdam Fashion Week and is stocked in more than 2,000 boutiques worldwide as well as having its own monobrand

stores. For spring/summer 2015, the collection sees ‘street fashion and urban chic united under one roof – it’s a place where everyone’s invited and anything goes’, says Gulsen. Silhouettes are playful yet glamorous and pieces range from draped dresses and deconstructed utility jackets to feminine peplum skirts with sporty details. A fringed leather skirt – the Stella – is a standout item. ‘Dress it down with a knitted sweater or opt for high heels and a metallic top for the evening,’ Gulsen suggests.

The mix of statement pieces and wearable basics ofered by SuperTrash refects the Dutch sense of style. ‘I think Dutch women are very practical when it comes to dressing,’ says Gulsen.

‘That doesn’t mean we love com-

fort over style; we just know how to combine the two into one stylish look.’

Emily Hermans, the designer behind emerging womenswear label MLY agrees, describing Dutch fashion as ‘wearable, with innovation in techniques and a unique focus and concept’. MLY collections stand out thanks to their distinctive fabrics, many developed by Hermans herself, featuring ecocertifed yarns and natural, biodegradable fbres: the designer is known for her artisanal approach. The result is a range of pieces that tend to be united by their strong, bold prints. ‘The typical MLY fan is a colourful person who likes to be noticed,’ Hermans concedes. ‘She likes graphic designs and recognises quality.’

The designer became interested in developing her own materials while studying at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI). ‘The lesson was called textile styling and we had to create our own textiles from scratch,’ she explains. ‘Knitting became my passion.’ For her spring/summer 2015 collection, the designer has been in a refective mood, taking themes, designs, colours and silhouettes from her previous collections to create a kaleidoscopic fashion collage. The end result is a multifaceted collection, simultaneously ofering elegance and streetwear accents, sturdy silhouettes with delicate detailing, colourful graphic patterns and more organic designs.

Despite this diversity, the overall MLY aesthetic is typically

48 | F E AT U R E S

Dutch: efortlessly wearable with just enough added edge to make it interesting. Adding to the brand’s local credentials, its collections are almost entirely produced in the Netherlands. ‘The major part of the production process takes place here,’ Hermans confrms.

‘We’re environmentally friendly and have a strong focus on keeping knowledge and factories close.’

With its almost entirely Dutch team, Claudia Sträter has become one of the country’s more recognisable womenswear labels. The brand is adept at translating international trends for a Dutch audience, while its universally high quality and eye for functionality typically attracts women with busy, active lives. Its designs have a timeless sensibility, with clean cuts and elegant lines throughout:

think easily co-ordinated separates, printed daytime dresses and relaxed tailoring in an appealing palette of colours.

This focus on wearability and versatility without sacrifcing style may explain why Dutch fashion brands continue to be embraced both across Europe and further afeld. From the chic separates of Claudia Sträter to the luxe basics of SuperTrash, Dutch designers offer pieces that could take pride of place in any wardrobe.

And as the baton is passed to the next generation of designers – who are committed to honouring this aesthetic while testing its limits – the Dutch international invasion looks set to continue supertrash.com, mly.nl, claudiastrater.com

nited Nude’s fairy-tale success story is one born from romantic disappointment.

Rem D Koolhaas, the footwear company’s creative director and co-founder, was studying architecture when he broke his heart over a girl, leading him to ‘scale down architecture to its smallest and most vulnerable size, that of a woman’s foot’. The story has a happy ending; Koolhaas’s initial designs were praised by Miuccia Prada and Sergio Rossi before he met Galahad Clark, a seventhgeneration shoemaker and member of the Clarks dynasty, and launched United Nude in 2003.

Since then, the brand has become known for producing some of the world’s most technically advanced footwear, with designs that are instantly recognisable thanks to their clarity, elegance and innovation. Koolhaas (not to be confused with his architect uncle Rem Koolhaas) studied architecture at TU Delft (Technical University of Delft), and this training is evident in his sculptural shoes. ‘For each design I always start from a very clear and basic concept that is either a play on space or on gravity, which can be defned as an architectural approach,’ he concedes.

United Nude’s designs have always pushed boundaries in the footwear feld, even from the brand’s inception. ‘Back then, shoes in general were rather boring, so we saw a good opportunity for presenting diferent shoes with a new story,’ Koolhaas explains.

Happily, the past 15 years have seen the industry start to take more risks, a development Koolhaas welcomes. ‘I think that the sharing of information through the Internet has led to this massive cross fertilisation in all creative felds, including shoes,’ he confrms.

‘We were one of the front runners in breaking the box, and I think we still are.’

A number of high-profle collaborations have helped United Nude stay ahead of the crowd.

Koolhaas has worked with Dutch designer Iris van Herpen on nine consecutive Haute Couture catwalk shows, created a bespoke design for Lady Gaga’s Fame perfume launch (with 12-inch heels),

For Koolhaas, innovation will always go far beyond new colours and materials

and teamed up with architect Zaha Hadid to create the distinctive Nova shoe. ‘We work with people who bring new things to the table,’ says Koolhaas. ‘People who are different enough from us while being compatible enough to gain strength by joining forces, people with great talent, and people we inspire and who inspire us.’

For spring/summer 2015, the brand is continuing to innovate and has launched several new concepts, including the abstracted Lo Res range. The Lo Res Earth sandal looks set to be one of the shoes of the season; a unisex design, the shoe features an ergonomically shaped footbed, which conforms to the wearer’s foot, while its

rounded toe and cleated rubber outsole lend a sport-luxe feel. Successes from previous seasons have also been reimagined for spring: note the Jacky boot with its bold geometric heel now available in new materials and colours.

For Koolhaas, innovation will always go far beyond new colours and materials. The designer is known for pioneering new manufacturing techniques and his championing of 3D printing is a prime example. Even so, he believes it will be some time before printed pumps become the norm.

‘In the near future 3D printing will probably only function as a more exclusive and niche production method for small quantities, say

Above (clockwise from top lef): Lo Res Earth sandal; Jacky boot, both spring/summer 2015; the brand is championing 3D printing

for a catwalk show or limited-edition design.’ United Nude’s next 3D-printing project will be produced alongside the industry’s market leader, 3D Systems, and will see fve famous architects and designers create shoes to be shown at Salone del Mobile in Milan.

A line of watches and the Lo Res car are the two upcoming initiatives that Koolhaas is most excited about at the moment. The designer is also looking to introduce a new shop concept. United

Nude stores typically feature dark décor with light installations providing movement, atmosphere and a spotlight for the shoes; in future, he hopes to create something a little less extreme and a little more practical to refect a wider product ofering.

Despite these difusions, the Möbius shoe remains the design for which United Nude is known and its frst success. It marked a new era in footwear manufacture and was the frst to blur borders between industrial design and fashion. Its use of a single strip to form the sole, heel, foot bed and upper led to the invention of new construction methods and new materials. It remains Koolhaas’s favourite. ‘It’s perhaps my most iconic design, but, besides that, it is also the shoe that made me change my profession, started my career, made me change where I lived.

In other words, this was not just a shoe that I made – it was also the shoe that made me.’ unitednude.com

TABLE TALK From converted greenhouses to cooking studios, the fne-dining experience in Holland is nothing short of innovative.

Theresa Harold discovers that eating can be a treat for all the senses

The Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century had an impact on every part of life in Holland, including what people ate. Trading ships brought back spices, sugar and other exotic ingredients, and the country’s prosperous citizens developed a taste for lavish and richly varied meals – as shown in many of the fabulous still life paintings globalblue.com

of the time. That willingness to experiment, to embrace new trends and to take a fresh look at familiar dishes is still in evidence today. Nowadays, the most exciting chefs and restaurants are pioneering creative uses of local ingredients with an international infuence, often in an equally inspired setting.

TRANSLATIONS РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 44: Efortless Cool

äилософия Элегантности Кейт Мур рассказывает о голландских модельерах, для которых практичность и непринужденность одежды – не повод забывать об элегантности. Концептуальная, инновационная, непредвзятая и практичная – именно так можно описать голландскую индустрию моды. Начиная с середины 1990-х годов местные бренды прет-а-порте, включая SuperTrash, Scotch & Soda, Claudia Sträter и Viktor & Rolf начали активную экспансию на европейские рынки. Сегодня Нидерланды превращаются в одну из ведущих стран Европы со стремительно развивающейся индустрией моды, что не удивительно – помимо двух международных академий дизайна в Эйндховене и Арнеме, здесь проводится большое число выставок и шоу-показов, таких как Arnhem Mode Biennale и Dutch Fashion Awards. В последние годы на фоне остальных заметно выделяется марка SuperTrash, занимающая промежуточную позицию между общедоступными и люксовыми брендами. Ее стильные коллекции включают практически все: от роскошного трикотажа и элегантных globalblue.com

туфель на высоком каблуке до платьев с принтами и джинсовой одежды. «В цифровую эпоху мода доступна каждому, но это не значит, что каждому она по карману, – поясняет Олджай Гюльсен, основательница бренда. – Я надеюсь, что SuperTrash исправляет эту ситуацию и делает моду доступной для большего числа женщин». В тот момент, когда бренду исполнилось 10 лет, его коллекции уже регулярно выставлялись на показах Амстердамской Недели моды, а продукция была представлена в более чем 2000 бутиках по всему миру, включая фирменные магазины марки. Коллекция сезона весна-лето 2015 вобрала в себя элементы уличной моды и городского шика. «Здесь нет ограничений и нет строгих правил», – говорит Гюльсен. Забавные и в то же время элегантные силуэты присущи всем вещам: от драпированных платьев и деконструктивных пиджаков до женственных юбок с баской в спортивном стиле. Особого внимания заслуживает кожаная юбка с бахромой «Stella». «Ее можно комбинировать с вязаным свитером или туфлями на шпильках и блестящим топом на вечер», – советует Гюльсен. Сочетание нарядной и повседневной одежды отсылает нас к голландскому чувству стиля. «Мне кажется нидерландки очень практичны в выборе одежды, – говорит Гюльсен. – Это не значит, что

95 мы предпочитаем комфорт стилю, просто мы знаем, как соединить и то и другое в один стильный образ». Эмили Германс, дизайнер популярного бренда женской одежды MLY, не жалеет эпитетов, описывая голландскую моду: «комфортная, новаторская, уникальная и слегка авангардная». Первое, что бросается в глаза при взгляде на коллекции MLY – это оригинальная ткань, зачастую разработанная самой Германс и состоящая из экологически чистой пряжи и биоразлагаемых волокон – дизайнер известна своей тягой ко всему натуральному. В дизайне одежды Германс делает ставку на яркие оттенки и смелые принты. «Девушка MLY – это яркая личность, которая не хочет оставаться незамеченной, – утверждает дизайнер. – Она любит графические принты и ценит хорошее качество». Желание создавать свою ткань пришло к Германс во время обучения в амстердамском институте моды (AMFI). «У нас был предмет "Дизайн текстиля", на котором нам требовалось создать свою собственную ткань с нуля, – поясняет она. – С того момента вязание стало моей страстью». В коллекции сезона весна-лето 2015 дизайнер решила использовать тематику, палитру и силуэты из своих предыдущих коллекций, чтобы создать дайджест своего творчества. Ее многогранная и контрастная коллекция объединила элементы уличного стиля и элегантной моды, слегка грубоватые силуэты и изящные детали,

красочные графические принты и природные узоры. Несмотря на такое разнообразие коллекциям MLY свойственна типично голландская эстетика: абсолютный комфорт с легкой ноткой интриги. Стоит также отметить, что все коллекции бренда практически полностью создаются на территории Нидерландов. «Основные производственные процессы осуществляются здесь, – подтверждает Германс. – Забота об окружающей среде является для нас одной из приоритетных задач, как и поддержка местной инфраструктуры». Марка Claudia Sträter недавно была признана одним из самых узнаваемых брендов женской одежды в стране. Вряд ли во всей Голландии найдется компания, которой бы удалось с такой же легкостью интерпретировать международные тренды, адаптируя их к местным реалиям, а безупречное качество изделий и акцент на практичности приходится по вкусу деловым женщинам, ведущим активный образ жизни. Коллекциям бренда свойственна непреходящая чувственность, утонченный крой и элегантные линии: легко сочетающиеся комбинации, платья с принтами, а также непринужденные костюмы приятных оттенков. Акцент на практичности и универсальности без ущерба эстетике может объяснить тот факт, почему нидерландские модные бренды столь популярны в Европе и за ее пределами. Нет сомнения в том, что творения голландских законодателей моды, от стильных

96 комбинаций Claudia Sträter до роскошных нарядов SuperTrash, смогут занять достойное место в гардеробе любой модницы. Если модельеры продолжат развитие индустрии в том же направлении, нидерландская мода, не имеющая границ и не идущая на компромиссы, в скором времени сможет легко покорить мир. supertrash.com, mly.nl, claudiastrater.com 50: Leading The Way

Впереди Всех Обувной бренд United Nude, возглавляемый Ремом Д Колхасом, расширяет границы стиля и производства. Верити Хоган узнает подробности прошлого, настоящего и будущего марки История успеха United Nude началась как в одной из сказок, – с романтического приключения. Креативный директор и соучредитель обувной компании Рем Д Колхас учился на архитектора, пока возлюбленная не разбила ему сердце. После этого он решил «покончить с идеей проектирования зданий и занялся проектированием женской обуви». Как и любую сказку, эту историю ждал счастливый конец. Работами Колхаса заинтересовались модельеры Миучча Прада и Серджио Росси, а немногим позже он познакомился с Галахадом Кларком, наследником знаменитой обувной династии Clarks, вместе с которым основал United Nude в 2003 году. С тех пор бренд производит знаменитую на весь мир обувь, globalblue.com

отличающуюся простым, элегантным и инновационным дизайном. Колхас (не путать с его дядей архитектором Ремом Колхасом) изучал архитектуру в политехническом университете Делфта TU Delf, что не могло не отразиться на его творчестве. «Дизайн новых моделей я привык начинать с четкой и ясной концепции, отражающей определенную архитектурную форму», – признает он. С момента появления United Nude, дизайнеры постоянно расширяли границы возможного в обувной сфере. «В то время обувь была довольно скучной, осознав это, мы решили не упускать шанс и поделится с миром нашими идеями», – поясняет Колхас. К счастью, последние 15 лет принесли в индустрию немало открытий и революционных изменений. «Мне кажется, что возможность быстро обмениваться информацией через интернет привела к буму во всех креативных областях, включая обувную индустрию, – считает он. – Мы были в числе первых производителей, решившихся мыслить нестандартно, и я считаю, что нашу позицию мы не утратили». Ряд нашумевших коллабораций помог бренду United Nude выделиться из толпы. Среди главных достижений Колхаса – совместная работа с голландским дизайнером Ирисом Ван Херпеном над девятью коллекциями Haute Couture, создание эксклюзивных туфель на шпильке 30 сантиметров для презентации нового парфюма от Леди Гаги, а также сотрудничество с архитектором äаха Хадидом над дизайном туфель

97 Nova. «Мы работаем с теми людьми, которые могут принести что-то новое в нашу работу и дополнить ее, – говорит Колхас, – людьми с оригинальным мышлением и идеями, людьми с большим талантом, теми, кого мы вдохновляем и кто вдохновляет нас». В сезоне весна-лето 2015 бренд продолжил радовать поклонников инновациями, выпустив несколько новых концептуальных моделей, включая серию Lo Res. Сандалии Lo Res Earth имеют все шансы стать хитом этого сезона. Эта обувь отличается универсальным дизайном, обтекающей ногу эргономичной подошвой, а также закругленным носком и рифленой резиновой подошвой в стиле спортлюкс. Популярные модели прошлого сезона были переосмыслены и также представлены в новой весенней коллекции: туфли Jacky с каблуком геометрической формы теперь доступны в новых цветах и материалах. В понимании Колхаса понятие инновация не ограничивается новым материалом или цветом. Дизайнер известен своей тягой к передовым технологиям производства, и 3D принтеры один из ярких тому примеров. Тем не менее, он сомневается, что эра «напечатанной» обуви уже не за горами. «В ближайшем будущем 3D принтеры, скорее всего, будут применяться лишь частично для создания небольших эксклюзивных коллекций». Следующий проект United Nude будет реализован в сотрудничестве с лидером индустрии 3D печати – компанией

3D Systems, а также пятью ведущими архитекторами и дизайнерами. Полученный результат будет представлен на выставке Salone del Mobile в Милане. В планы дизайнера также входит выпуск серии часов и машин Lo Res. Кроме того, в скором времени будет представлена новая концепция фирменного магазина. Для бутиков United Nude характерен темный интерьер с индивидуальной подсветкой для каждой пары обуви. В будущем Колхас планирует сделать его менее радикальным, более практичным и подходящим для расширяющегося ассортимента. Несмотря на обилие успешных проектов, самым главным бестселлером бренда продолжают оставаться босоножки Möbius. Они ознаменовали собой новую эру обувной индустрии, размыв границы между индустриальным дизайном и модой. Использование сплошной пластины, соединившей подошву, верх и каблук в одно целое, привело к открытию новых техник и новых материалов. Это любимая модель Колхаса. «Пожалуй, это одно из ключевых моих творений. Именно ему я обязан своей профессией, карьерой и местом жительства. Другими словами – это не просто обувь, которую я создал, но это также обувь, которая создала меня». unitednude.com 93: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free

Para perancang pakaian wanita di Belanda telah berhasil menciptakan estetika yang layak sandang, yang menawarkan kemudahan tanpa mengurangi mutu,

101 dan menarik perhatian internasional dalam prosesnya, seperti yang ditelusuri oleh Kate Moore Konseptual, inovatif, dan berpikiran terbuka, namun pragmatis, itulah katakata yang selama ini digunakan untuk menggambarkan industri mode Belanda.

Karakter terpuji ini berarti bahwa, sejak medio 1990-an, label pakaian siap pakai dari negara ini mulai menarik perhatian internasional, dengan merek-merek seperti SuperTrash, Scotch & Soda, Claudia Str채ter, dan Viktor & Rolf memimpin pasar. Belanda yang merupakan tempat berdirinya dua akademi mode ternama di dunia, satu di Eindhoven satu lagi di Arnhem, serta beragam program acara yang mencakup Pekan Mode Internasional Amsterdam, Arnhem Mode Biennale, dan Penghargaan Mode Belanda, telah secara cepat menjadi salah satu destinasi pakaian wanita terkemuka di Eropa.

Berada di antara label merek highstreet dan mewah, SuperTrash merupakan salah satu merek terkemuka yang muncul dari Belanda dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Koleksi kontemporernya menyajikan beragam gaya, mulai dari pakaian rajut mewah dan sepatu stiletto ekspresi, hingga gaun kain cetak dan pakaian berbahan denim. 'Di era digital, mode dapat diakses oleh semua orang, namun bukan berarti terjangkau oleh semua orang,' papar Olcay Gulsen, pemilik merek ini. 'Saya berharap SuperTrash dapat menjembatani kesenjangan ini dan menjadikan mode sebagai suatu kenyataan bagi lebih banyak perempuan.'

Label yang baru saja merayakan ulang tahunnya yang ke-10 ini tampil secara rutin di Pekan Mode Amsterdam dan dijual di lebih dari 2.000 butik di seluruh dunia, selain memiliki toko merek

tunggalnya sendiri. Untuk musim semi/ musim panas 2015, koleksinya menyajikan 'gaya street fashion dan urban chic di bawah satu atap - tempat yang bisa dikunjungi semua orang dan apa pun boleh', kata Gulsen. Rancangan dengan siluet yang hidup namun tampil glamor dan beragam busana, mulai dari gaun draperi dan jaket utilitas yang dirancang ulang, hingga rok peplum feminin dengan detail yang sportif. Sebuah rok kulit berumbai - Stella - menjadi koleksi yang menonjol. 'Kenakan dengan sweter rajutan atau sepatu hak tinggi dan atasan metalik untuk acara di malam hari,' saran Gulsen.

Gabungan antara rancangan yang menarik perhatian dan busana biasa yang ditawarkan oleh SuperTrash mencerminkan selera bergaya Belanda. 'Menurut saya, wanita Belanda sangat praktis dalam berpakaian,' kata Gulsen. 'Bukan berarti kami lebih memilih kenyamanan daripada gaya; hanya saja, kami tahu cara menggabungkan keduanya menjadi suatu penampilan yang modis.'

Emily Hermans, sang perancang label pakaian wanita MLY yang mulai banyak digemari, sepakat akan hal ini dengan menggambarkan mode Belanda sebagai 'pantas dikenakan, dengan inovasi dalam hal teknik serta memiliki fokus dan konsep yang unik'. Koleksi MLY tampil menonjol berkat kain khas mereka, yang sebagian besar dikembangkan oleh Hermans sendiri, menampilkan benang bersertifkasi ekolabel dan serat alami yang terurai hayati; perancang ini dikenal dengan pendekatan tradisionalnya. Karyanya berupa jajaran busana yang cenderung disatukan oleh motif cetak yang kuat dan tegas. 'Karakter penggemar MLY adalah orang yang senang dengan warnawarni dan suka diperhatikan,' Hermans

102 menjelaskan. 'Dia suka desain grafs dan mengerti kualitas.'

Perancang ini tertarik untuk mengembangkan bahan kainnya sendiri saat belajar di Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI). 'Pelajarannya disebut dengan penataan gaya tekstil dan kami harus membuat bahan tekstil sendiri dari nol,' jelasnya. 'Merajut menjadi kecintaan saya.' Untuk koleksi musim semi/musim panas 2015, perancang ini menggunakan suasana hati refektif dengan mengambil tema, rancangan, warna, dan siluet dari koleksi sebelumnya untuk menciptakan sebuah kolase mode kaleidoskopik. Hasil akhirnya menampilkan suatu koleksi multiaspek yang menawarkan keanggunan sekaligus aksen streetwear, siluet tegas dengan detail yang halus, pola grafs penuh warna, dan rancangan yang lebih organik.

Terlepas dari keragaman ini, estetika keseluruhan MLY sangat khas Belanda: pantas dipakai tanpa repot dengan tambahan secukupnya untuk membuatnya tampak menarik. Untuk menambah identitas lokal dari merek ini, hampir seluruh koleksinya diproduksi di Belanda. 'Bagian utama dari proses produksi dilakukan di sini,' Hermans menegaskan. 'Kami ramah lingkungan dan memiliki fokus yang kuat untuk terus mendekatkan pengetahuan dan pabrik.'

Dengan tim yang hampir seluruhnya dari Belanda, Claudia Sträter telah menjadi salah satu label pakaian wanita yang terkenal di negara ini. Merek ini sangat mahir dalam menerjemahkan tren internasional untuk publik Belanda, sementara kualitasnya yang tinggi dan perhatiannya pada fungsi, secara khusus sangat me-narik bagi wanita sibuk dan aktif. Rancangannya memiliki kepekaan abadi, dengan potongan rapi dan garis-

globalblue.com

garis elegan: bayangkan busana siang dengan motif cetak yang mudah dipadupadankan dan jahitan santai dalam palet warna-warni menarik.

Upaya untuk berfokus pada kelayapakaian dan keserbacekatan tanpa mengorbankan gaya ini, mungkin menjadi alasan merek mode Belanda terus berkembang di seluruh Eropa dan lebih jauh lagi. Mulai dari busana chic karya Claudia Sträter hingga busana standar mewah dari SuperTrash, para perancang Belanda menawarkan busana-busana yang bisa menjadi kebanggaan di lemari pakaian siapa pun. Dan ketika tongkat estafet ini diserahkan kepada generasi perancang berikutnya - yang berkomitmen untuk menghormati estetika ini sekaligus menciptakan terobosan-terobosan - invasi internasional Belanda tampaknya akan terus berlanjut. supertrash.com, mly.nl, claudiastrater.com 50: Leading The Way Memimpin Jalan Merek alas kaki United Nude milik Rem D Koolhaas melanjutkan terobosannya dalam hal desain dan produksi. Dia bercerita tentang masa lalu, saat ini, dan masa depan dalam wawancara dengan Verity Hogan Dongeng kisah sukses United Nude berawal dari sepercik kekecewaan romantis.

Rem D Koolhaas, direktur kreatif dan salah seorang pendiri perusahaan alas kaki ini, berkuliah di jurusan arsitektur ketika patah hati karena seorang gadis.

Kejadian ini membuatnya 'menurunkan skala arsitektur ke ukuran yang paling kecil dan rentan, yaitu kaki wanita’.

Cerita ini berakhir bahagia; desain awal

103 Koolhaas mendapatkan pujian dari Miuccia Prada dan Sergio Rossi, sebelum dia bertemu dengan Galahad Clark, seorang pembuat sepatu generasi ketujuh dan anggota dari dinasti Clark, lalu keduanya meluncurkan United Nude pada tahun 2003.

Sejak itu, merek ini dikenal menghasilkan beberapa alas kaki yang paling canggih di dunia secara teknis dengan rancangan yang dapat langsung dikenali berkat kegamblangan, keanggunan, dan inovasinya. Koolhaas (orang yang berbeda dengan Rem Koolhaas, pamannya yang juga seorang arsitek) mengambil jurusan arsitektur di Universitas Teknik (TU) Delft), dan ilmu yang didapatnya di sana sangat jelas tampak dalam rancangan sepatunya yang artistik. 'Untuk setiap rancangan, saya selalu mulai dari konsep yang sangat jelas dan dasar, yaitu bermain dengan ruang atau gravitasi, yang dapat didefnisikan sebagai suatu pendekatan arsitektur,' akunya.

Rancangan United Nude selalu menampilkan terobosan-terobosan di bidang alas kaki, bahkan sejak awal lahirnya merek ini. 'Di masa itu, sepatu secara umum agak membosankan, jadi kami melihat peluang yang baik untuk menyajikan sepatu yang berbeda dengan cerita baru,' Koolhaas menjelaskan. Untungnya, dalam 15 tahun terakhir, industri ini mulai mau mengambil risiko yang lebih besar, sebuah perkembangan yang disambut baik oleh Koolhaas. 'Saya pikir kemudahan berbagi informasi melalui Internet juga menjadi penyebab perkawinan silang besar-besaran di segala bidang kreatif, termasuk sepatu,' tegasnya. 'Kami adalah salah satu perintis yang keluar dari batasan-batasan ini, dan saya pikir masih hingga sekarang.'

Sejumlah kolaborasi mencolok telah

membantu United Nude tetap memimpin di depan. Koolhaas bekerja sama dengan perancang asal Belanda, Iris van Herpen, dalam sembilan pertunjukan pentas busana Haute Couture secara berturut-turut, menciptakan sebuah rancangan pesanan khusus untuk Lady Gaga dalam acara peluncuran parfumnya, Fame (dengan hak 30 cm), dan bekerja sama dengan arsitek Zaha Hadid untuk menciptakan Nova Shoe yang unik.

'Kami bekerja dengan orang-orang yang menawarkan hal-hal baru ke pasar,' kata Koolhaas. 'Orang-orang yang cukup berbeda dengan kami, namun cukup serasi untuk mendapatkan kekuatan yang lebih besar melalui kerja sama, orang-orang dengan bakat besar, serta mereka yang terinspirasi oleh dan menginspirasi kami.'

Untuk musim semi/musim panas 2015, merek ini terus berinovasi dan telah meluncurkan beberapa konsep baru, antara lain jajaran Lo Res. Sandal Lo Res Earth tampaknya akan menjadi salah satu alas kaki populer musim ini; dengan rancangan uniseksnya, sepatu ini memiliki bantalan kaki ergonomis yang sesuai dengan kaki pemakai, sedangkan bagian jari kakinya yang membulat dan sol karet bergerigi memberikan nuansa sport mewah. Keberhasilan dari musim sebelumnya juga telah digagas ulang untuk musim semi: sepatu bot Jacky dengan tumit geometrisnya yang tebal, sekarang tersedia dengan bahan dan warna baru.

Bagi Koolhaas, inovasi tidak hanya terbatas pada warna dan bahan yang baru. Perancang ini dikenal sebagai perintis teknik manufaktur baru dan sistem cetak 3D yang dipeloporinya menjadi contoh utama. Meski begitu, dia meyakini bahwa perlu beberapa lama hingga sepatu pompa cetak menjadi sesuatu yang biasa. 'Dalam waktu dekat, cetak

104 3D mungkin hanya akan berfungsi sebagai metode produksi yang lebih eksklusif untuk ceruk pasar berskala kecil, misalnya untuk pertunjukan pentas busana atau rancangan edisi terbatas.' Proyek cetak 3D United Nude berikutnya akan diproduksi bersama pemimpin pasar industri ini, 3D Systems, serta akan mempertemukan lima arsitek dan perancang terkenal untuk menciptakan sepatusepatu yang akan dipamerkan di Salone del Mobile di Milan.

Jajaran desain jam tangan dan mobil Lo Res adalah dua prakarsa mendatang yang saat ini paling membuat Koolhaas bersemangat. Perancang ini juga ingin memperkenalkan sebuah konsep toko baru. Toko United Nude biasanya menampilkan dekorasi gelap dengan instalasi lampu yang memberikan gerak, suasana, dan sorotan pada sepatu-sepatunya; di masa mendatang, dia ingin menciptakan sesuatu yang sedikit kurang ekstrem dan sedikit lebih praktis untuk mencerminkan tawaran produk yang lebih luas.

Terlepas dari perbauran ini, sepatu MĂśbius masih tetap menjadi desain United Nude yang paling dikenal dan merupakan kesuksesan pertamanya. Sepatu ini menandai sebuah era baru dalam manufaktur alas kaki dan yang pertama me-ngaburkan batas antara desain industri dan mode. Penggunaan lembaran tunggal untuk membentuk sol, hak, bantalan kaki, dan lidah sepatu menciptakan suatu penemuan metode konstruksi dan material baru. Rancangan ini masih menjadi favorit Koolhaas. 'Ini mungkin rancangan saya yang paling ikonis, namun selain itu, sepatu ini juga yang membuat saya mengubah profesi, memulai karir saya, membuat saya berpindah tempat tinggal. Dengan kata lain, ini bukan
