Inspiration

“Never give up, but fight for your position”, is the motto behind this collection.

Dutch fashion designer Sepehr Maghsoudi presented his new winter collection 2012/2013 ‘Running through walls’ in the Amsterdam “Kunstenhuis”.

With an eye for female curves and the use of handwork and exceptional materials such as glass and ceramics, the collection is typically Sepehr. During a theatrical show, which was accompanied by live opera music, the designer presented his super feminine creations, such as long gowns of Italian silk in intense colours (emerald green, dark blue and black), trimmed with fur, leather or lace. Each of his creations are romantic, but reveal a dark edge.

The way the designer applies glass in his new collection is highly sophisticated and clearly refers to his Persian roots. The material emanates both a powerful as well as a vulnerable quality. It represents the risk Sepehr dares to take: ‘Never give up, but fight for your position’ is the motto behind this collection. This makes ‘Running Through Walls’ a collection with a soul.

Sepehr Maghsoudi (29) made his breakthrough in 2010 after appearing on the TV series ‘Project Catwalk’ and was awarded the first Arnhem Fashion Award for Best Designer. He made his worldwide debut by designing a collection for an episode of the popular MTV program “My Super Sweet Sixteen”, watched by 150 million people in 49 countries.
