Modern Escapism
Schepers Bosman gathered exotic elements from their surroundings in Amsterdam, which is situated in the New-West part of the city. Fifties mosaics and murals found in that neighborhood have been translated into abstract prints and cast as a layer over Schepers Bosman’s modern, elaborated holiday wardrobe, Dutch fashion at it’s best.
Dutch Fashion
All patterns and garments are designed, developed and manufactured in their own studio. Same goes for the prints, which are applied and embroidered both manually and mechanically. Except for nylon, the materials used for this collection are natural: satin cotton, silk, light weight denim and jersey.
