Tir Na Nog

This year, Antwerp hosted Antwerp.Fashion Festival for the first time: a four day long event celebrating emerging designers next to established brands. Shows, talks, events and  exhibitions will bring the entire city to life.  As part of the official lineup of Antwerp.Fashion Festival, we presented our debut show, unveiling a new collection.

Titled “Tir Na Nog”, this project is a big step into the unknown for my brand, scaling up our ambitions in worldbuilding. But also a much needed fresh start, giving full reign to creative freedom, intricate, time-intensive pieces and intuition.

We aim to share the joy we experience daily in our artist house, when dance, music, conceptual art, strange ideas and design coexist and spontaneously mix together. This freedom feels like an out-of-this-world paradise, which is why we decided to name our project after an Otherworld.

Tir Na Nog, The Land of The Youth in Irish mythology, reflects how we feel about Ercola: a space for free spirits and creative minds, everlasting yet ever so transforming with each new generation that finds refuge inside the walls of this historical building. 

Those who reside in Tir Na Nog do not age and are blessed with an abundance of food, joy, dancing and well being. Many stories depict Tir Na Nog as a realm that brave adventurers discover during their travelling, in the same ways as Ercola is a safe haven for the free-spirited artists and makers and their daring ideas. We come from different origins and disciplines  to build a space of happiness.

In the evening of 5th of June 2026, Tir Na Nog was reenacted in the beautiful garden of Ercola, with the performers dressed in our latest leather designs. 

Antwerp.Fashion Festival was organised by Flanders District of Creativity and the city of Antwerp, in partnership with MoMu – Museum of Fashion Antwerp and with the support of EventFlanders.
