Van de Kemp is a master at
finding the perfect balance
between ready-to-wear
and couture. Honing in on
the luxury element through
quality and craftsmanship,
his collections definitely
fall in the category demi-
couture: accessible but
still bespoke. Even Van der
Kemp’s Wild West-inspired
jeans and patchwork
gingham dresses are elevated
to the level of couture by
meticulous craftsmanship.
For his recent collections,
the Dutch designer has
gone for a more-is-more
aesthetic—and it’s clearly
working. After he launched
his eponymous label in 2015,
it quickly gained traction
with celebrities, with Kate
Moss, Lady Gaga and Dakota
Johnson all donning
his designs.
