Browns Taps LVMH finalist Duran Lantink In Sustainable Capsule Collection | V:
that actress Tessa Thompson crawled through for her cameo in the music video for"PYNK". Perhaps you know him as one of the semi-finalists for the prestigious LVMH Prize for Young Designers who cheekily showed a Frankenstein Gucci-Louis Vuitton hybrid bag to LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault.
These days, Lantink is applying his signature puzzle-pieced style in a whole new way merging the worlds of fashion forward and eco-friendly. As part of Brown's newly erected Conscious initiative, the London-based luxury boutique enlisted the helping hands of Lantink in creating a collection constructed from repurposed deadstock from the boutique's archives reworking leftover stock into unique new pieces.
"I think I was 11 or 12 and I started cutting up my mom’s clothes and the clothes of my stepdad, which he really didn’t like. Somehow I always felt the urge to merge things together. Then I got accepted to Rietveld Academy for my first year where they were really keen on making patterns and fabrics and I really didn’t want to do that. I just didn’t want to make anything new, so I started doing recycling with stuff that I found in charity shops and that’s how I started making collections.
You were able to partner with Browns as apart of their Conscious initiative in redesigning a completely new collection from the archives. How did you go about creating the collection? What pieces caught your eye? "I am very blessed that Browns gave me the trust and ability to go and look for myself. It was the first time I could really pick the items myself and I think that’s super important because you find these attractive pieces and you can make it so nice. There was a PVC green coat that was really nice and I fell completely in love with it which is ironic because it always happens that when you find a piece you’re really in love with, it always turns out to be the hardest to rework.
