The intention
To Create a Biomaterial garment from an abundance of a vegetable waste stream in The Netherlands. From food waste to fashion design.
The vegetable of the season: Artichoke
The idea behind Boertex is to experiment with the vegetable waste and my job as a fashion designer is to explore whether it is possible to make a “current” design using this biomaterial. A final prototype will be made with textile alternatives to raise awareness around material innovation.

Rebecca van Caem. — La feria de Tarifa— One of the most appreciated festivities in the south of Spain — a week full of culture and tradition. La cabalgata, the cristianism and the flamenco fuse together to form one swayful force of the Spanish freedom and expression.
“Soy gitano y vengo a tu casamiento.
Apartirme la camisa, la camisita que tengo.
Yo soy gitano y vengo a tu casamiento.
Apartirme la camisa que la tirnieron.”

“La Feria” is a collection based on a week full of
tradition, pride and cul- ture for all of the national
Spanish people.
This week of festivity consists of traditional cordoba dressed citizens, a horse cavalry named the Cabalgata and the members who carry a statue of both the holy Mary and Jesus towards their towns church.
“Y a mi me gusta soberear,
La yerba la yerbabuena.
Un cante por solea,
y una voz quebra y serena.”
“Una guitarra y tus ojos,
Ai al laito de una candela.”

This time it’s my turn to translate the joy
that is experienced when I return to my Spanish home and its familiarities. I
feel like this time I’m playing a role as a Spanish self and my collection will
serve as story line for this play.
“Por ti yo lo dejo todo y hasta te di
todo lo que tenía
Yo sé que es difícil pero estaré
cuando tý me ames aquí estar”
