The original drawings with the design for the ‘Dorita’ – one of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ for ‘Comic Sexy’.

This design is a warped mix between a nurse uniform, a 60s space outfit and a punk attire.

‘Leader of the Pack’ is a dress I designed for the brand I started with my childhood friend André. The brand was called ‘Comic Sexy’ and people could order dresses that were exclusively made for them by a couturier. 

Customers could choose from seven designs in the ‘Magnificent Seven’ collection, which was the only collection anyway – we stopped producing in 2020. However, the dress would be ‘made to fit’ in colours that were unique to us: we had bought kilometers of yarn and had that painted in a lab in Poland before it was woven into a strong and stretchy.

So our couturier kept storage the fabrics in 13 different and exclusive colours and we had a site where people were assisted on how to measure themselves. We developed a way to have the dresses ‘tailored to fit’ through 16 measurements, which was something you could do at home. So there was no child labour involved, and the dresses were of the highest quality. Dresses would last as long as you kept the same body proportions. They were ultimately designed to make you shine: I spent a long time deciding where the coupe seams should be and in what exact direction they’d go to make everything looking like it wanted to rise. The ultimate effect would be that clients looked as if they belonged in a comic.

The ‘Dolores’ initially was designed for Flora Dolores, the singer of the Spinshots. André used to live in Indonesia where I frequently visited him. The first dress found the way out of in my sketchbook through a local tailor – I brought the dress back to Amsterdam and Flora performed in it for a few years, until I made the ‘Exotica’ for her. Then the idea rose that this would be a great start for a clothing line.
