Ninamounah: Collection 006 for Spring / Summer 2021
A reflection of our most intimate surroundings. For Spring/Summer ’21 they looked inwards. Melting together deadstock materials and recalibrated signature silhouettes. Born from a moment of stillness and reassessment, our new collection comes from a feeling of hope for a bright new future.
Taking cues from traditional Dutch costume and Ninamounah’s usual threesome of leather motor suits, French corsetry and pinstripe tailored suits, the collection offers a contemporary take on familiar tropes. The ‘Kraplap’, a breastcloth garment made of stiff, starched cotton is interpreted as a tailored suit jacket and trousers.
Trousers featuring thigh high contrast panelling are informed by fishermen’s boots, while a traditional trench coat is rendered in luxurious satin hues. Inspired by motor garments, pieces feature side panelling and a relocated seam. A zipper in the waistline can be worn open to show extra skin.
By embracing the method of reclaiming used materials with a specific user’s history for our designs, Ninamounah synthesizes traces of a forlorn past with future realities. Working exclusively with fabrics and leathers that would otherwise be discarded or destroyed, we take responsibility for our planet.
