For Dutch fashion designer Jan Taminiau, published on the occasion of his exhibition ‘Jan Taminiau, Reflections’, accompanying his show at Centraal Museum Utrecht. Taminiau is known for his use of traditional handicrafts and production techniques, unique original materials and fabric treatments, in addition to his love of aesthetics. His pieces are worn by many (famous) enthusiasts, from Queen Máxima to Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. With this book we show a lesser visible side of his atelier: the production of the garments, the 'making of' the exhibition and a closeup of the beautifully crafted fabrics.
