The eyes connect not just to the logical brain, but to the emotional one as well. Because environment, atmosphere and mood can be just as influential as an artist’s intent, it often takes extra care to communicate what happens in one person’s eyes versus another’s. Sure, we could wax poetic about the crumple of linen, the iridescence of a lacquered silk, or tell you that a garment transitions easily from day to night, but real comprehension lies in the personal, visual experience.
This approach to creation informs the aesthetic voice of Schepers Bosman–a harmony of contemporary workwear and traditional European handicraft. Sanne and Anne’s focus is ultimately on the hand of the maker–each pattern is drafted, fitted and finished by hand before it is added to the collection.
The designs are inclusive and fit on a wide array of bodies, made from responsibly sourced linen and cotton denim woven in The Netherlands, Italy and England. Each Schepers Bosman piece is finished with an individual machine stitch in a unique thread gauge. Entirely decorative, this stitch acts as a graphic finishing touch–Sanne and Anne’s signature on each and every piece.
“… there is always a never-ending conversation going on between each other and everyone around us: artists, musicians, students. The interaction between all the creative individuals is =the basis of our work. We design by doing.”
