CATTA DONKERSLOOT
Collection Spring/Summer 2010 'POPPY DREAMING'
The poppy is a beautiful flower and has been the inspiration for the spring/summer 2010 collection of Catta Donkersloot. Poppy dreaming can play a leading role in a heavenly downfall and this flower is the messenger of the warm and romantic spring and summer seasons. The woman represented in the spring/summer collection is fierce, classic and a dreamer. Natural fabrics are used with the clearest precision. A clean cut and graphic balances incorporate surprising details. The classical shapes in Catta's work are used to tell a romantic and poetic story. A theme that often returns in her collection is the believe that nothing is what it seems and expectations are acceded. In her designs there is always a very thin line between fashion and art. Catta has an intensive working relationship with photographer Lisa Kortenhorst, the qualities of the designer and the artist have come together and result in beautiful ingenious images. The music of Catta's show are at all times composed by music-man Frodo Willemsen. For the presentation of the collections, Catta searches for a way to create a world where a concept is experienced on several layers.
Catta Donkersloot started her own label in 2006 after graduating from the Master course Artez Fashion Institute Arnhem (FIA). Her first collection under her own label was presented to the public in 2007. In November 2008 Catta opened her own shop where she sells Catta Donkersloot, Catta Donkersloot ready-to-wear and her new label Imotochan. Next to Amsterdam, Catta used Italy, Belarus, Paris, New Zealand, and Hong Kong as a stage of her collection presentations. She won a Mittlemoda Award in Italy in 2006 and the International IAF Award in the Netherlands in 2008. Future plans in 2009 involve a presentation of her work in September in the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and a showcase in New Delhi in India.
