“… The two girls grew up at the edge of the ocean and knew it was paradise, and better than Eden, which was only a garden…”
– Eve Babitz –
‘EDEN’
Impetuous, ogling and tempting….. Fashion designers Truus and Riet Spijkers give a taste of lifes limitlessness in their new SIS collection ‘EDEN’ designed for the tender hearts and invisible to the loveless hearts, inspired by storie of the Paradise. A collection for wilful women who like to challenge, to explore, to experience and to love endlessly. The collection was showed during Amsterdam Fashion Week on Friday, July 8th at the Gashouder in Amsterdam.
Collection Spring-Summer 2017
EDEN tells a story of temptation and desire. Expelled from the Earthly Paradise the collection allows you to meet with true love and life in all its turbulence, Sultry and sensual. With erotic images of lovers kissing between lush leaf motifs. But also with more stylized prints and embroideries of the defiant paradise-snake on diverse collection of items. Bold combination of smooth, sometimes little concealing fabrics and the well know graphic detailing, make “EDEN” a garden full of surprising temptations.
the muse
EDEN is inspired by Eve Babitz. Rebel, party-girl style icon, artist and protagonist of free love. In her book “Sex and Rage: Advice to Young Ladies Eager for a Good Time ’two sisters growing up on the coast, mesmerized by the infinite ocean. For them the ultimate paradise; better, however, and more challenging than the bounded Garden of Eden. For Spijkers en Spijkers Babitz is more than a muse. She is Eva, who does not want to resist the temptations of life and freely eats of the forbidden fruit.
