MashUp

MASHUP

Duran Lantink (1986), was born in the cheeky, bold and open-minded Netherlands of the 80s, growing up in the 90s in the beachy lowlands of The Hague but also deeply rooted in Black Magic spirituality. This mashup soul became the first Dutch artist to be appointed permanent creative director of a major international fashion house: Jean Paul Gaultier. His clever designs collide Haute Couture with street culture, sustainability with provocation, past with future. With exaggerated silhouettes he reshapes the body and blurs traditional gender roles. But with ever-growing love and generosity as his foundation, his courageous creativity sparks a wave of excited indignation the world so desperately needs.
