I’m Joris, an Amsterdam based fashion designer specialized in making you look your absolute hottest. My work centers on queer identity and sexuality, and my main goal is to empower queer people through fashion. I love to see what I make as part of a hypersexual queer utopian universe that provokes, because ultimately I believe controversy stimulates change.

In my previous collections I played a lot with genderstereotypes and pop culture references. In “SO OBSESSED’ looked for example at diva worshipping in queer community and in “A LONG, HARD…. DAY AT THE OFFICE” I twisted powerdymanics and genderroles in office settings. An important part of these collections are the performers that I work with. Instead of finding a model that fits my concept, I’m always on the look out for inspiring personalities and performers that can become part of my universe. By creating on them and with them I really want to create that queer empowerment.
