INTERVIEW / marieka ratsma

Marieka Ratsma Biomimicry shoe

Fashion today is more than just fabric, which protects the body. Today it is more a media and transboundary phenomenon,
which expresses the feeling of life of a human being or an art movement which explores specific concepts and looking for new solutions for the body. The fashion and the objects of the Dutch fashion designer Marieka Ratsma are equally conceptual and transboundary. Marieka studied communication and media in The Hague and fashion communication at the Utrecht School of Arts. Her graduate collection is called DAS AXIOM DER FAIRNESS. The fabulous collection is inspired by nature and science and shows Mariekas passion for concepts and object making.For the collection Marieka dealt with scientific theses of the German physicist Claus Mattheck and creates together with architect Kostika Spaho the Biomimicry shoe. Inspired by the ease and stability of bird bones the shoe applies the principles of nature to fashion. The entire collection as well as a fascinating interview in which Marieka reveals more about herself and her collection can be found after the jump.
