TIM VAN STEENBERGEN 2010 SPRING／SUMMER COLLECTION

TIM VAN STEENBERGEN　（ティムヴァンスティーンバーゲン） 2010 S/S SEASON THEME

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come out right.

Shaker song by Elder Joseph Brackett

The collection spring summer 2010 by Tim Van Steenbergen starts from the late 18th century 'the Shaker world'.
This community of remarkable people developed a well-defined aesthetic sense dominated by harmony in nature, utility and refinement in design and daily life. Essential components of form are expressed in a passion for architectural geometry and patterns of regularity according to traditional methods.
It results in a design with clean lines that reinforces a simple human truth, original in intention and appearance.
Handiwork details shape the elegance and emotion, the fragile beauty on the country life.

Plaiting and sculptured flowers are main accents in the construction of straight forward silhouettes.

Fabrics are cotton, sculptured cotton silk, cashmere jersey, cool wool, linen, bamboo, comfort lyocell, silk 'entre lats' and millimetre cut leather. All garments are finished with couture ribbons, luxurious buttons and detailed insides.

A range of color goes from white over grey to scorched black, exclusive prints in Yves Klein blue and the burned sand of his fire paintings.

The collection shows wrapped pants and shorts, chemises with a flower sleeve or plaiting in the front, according skirts in different lengths, cross over bolero jackets and shoulder draped jersey dresses.
A sober cocktail dress comes also in full embroidery. The same goes for a shawl top.
A straight draped tunic dress comes into different light or structured fabrics and fits the body in one movement.
Another historical A-line dress plays with a distinguished pallet of colours in its exclusive print.
Some easy tops in jersey, cotton and silk have a necklace detail on the collar, others are worked out and wrapped to the body.
A range of jackets: a dress coat, a waist coat with suspenders in the back, a long and short blazer with a smoking cut shoulder line is wrapped in the front, a structured coat is tailored with a belt and a zip up biker comes in comfort jersey and leather.
A range of retro beachwear such as body suits, body pants, tops, bra's and underwear in high-teck lingerie materials and soft jerseys are perfectly matching with this story.
A series of luxurious sunglasses "Theo by Tim Van Steenbergen" and shoes, "Tim Van Steenbergen, handmade by Ambiorix" finishes this collection. Accessories consist of handbags, shoulder bags, collars, belts and corset belts.
Also a special series of knit designs, a joint venture by Sigi and Tim Van Steenbergen, is presented.
In finding the perfect match of yarn and fabric they underline the authenticity of artisanship.

Concept

The challenge of Tim Van Steenbergen is the search for authenticity and artisanship in fashion. The difference between confection and prêt-à-porter or couture is to be found in how it is made. Handwork quality of fabric building a piece layer by layer differentiates Tim Van Steenbergen from confection always in search of old values in a new world.

The motivation is to transfer craftsmanship and the old values into different modern designs. Due to the belief in artisanship every garment is created by hand on the dummy to develop its characteristic shape. This traditional construction process and unique draping techniques guarantee a high appreciated quality and an exclusive collection.
