22SS is a series of wearable compositions, rather than a collection. It emerged from playing with functionality, using construction, material and finishings as our building blocks. Having this mindset while designing, we relate to the Late Modern architectural style ‘Structural Expressionism’, where transparency in design and construction is emphasized, communicating the underlying structure and function of a piece throughout its interior and exterior.

In the garment design, we treat all the functional components as visible design elements. By placing all pockets, linings and seams on the outside of the pieces, we turn them into outstanding decoration.
Colour, embroidery and patchworks also play an important role in the appearance of the garment, used to represent different pattern parts or to give additional information about the design.
To emphasize the design, the collection lookbook is presented in flat composition series.
DUTCH DENIM DESIGN
“We design our own custom-made blue Dutch denim fabric, together with ‘Enschede Textielstad’, a local small-scale weaving mill. The cloth is woven from recycled yarns, which gives the fabric its unique blue colour. The pieces crafted out of this denim are our first 100% Designed and Made in the Netherlands.”
BERTO DENIM
“Also, we partnered up with Berto Industria Tessile for black denim, as part of the Berto 4 Talents program. The company produces high-end denim fabrics in Italy and supports upcoming brands through their program.”
DESIGNS
“The garments made of these materials will be returning every season in our collection as the SB Icons. All items are designed, developed and produced in The Netherlands.
Shoes in the lookbook are in collaboration with Mephisto.”
