Esmée and Zamira are two dancers from a troupe called ‘the Barbarellas’. They dance at the ’60s oriented events organised by Amsterdam Beat Club and they were fantastic models – on and off stage. Look around a bit as there are more pictures of them and vids as well!
Laura posing in her ‘Future Mistress’ dress, i designed for Comic Sexy. This dress was made for her, tailored to fit. At the time i developed Comic Sexy we had an online measuring guide to have tailored-to-fit dresses delivered at home.
Yui is a dancer who was kind enough to pose for me in a Dolores when I first had a prototype. The first Dolores of course went to Flora Dolores, the name giver of the dress and singer of the Spinshots, but after that i needed models in very different sizes to show ‘made to fit’ worked. What became ‘happy client photography’ later, started as just asking nice people to pose in the streets of Amsterdam.
Flora Dolores was the singer of the Spinshots, a project i started to perform my musical compositions. Flora is, besides a great singer, a good friend and a perfect model for the dresses. She wore several of them on and off stage and i made some nice pictures of her as a Comic Sexy Ambassadorette.
Of course, Comic Sexy started with me designing her first stage dress when i was visiting my friend and CS collaborateur André oosterman in Indonesia. I designed the very first Comic Sexy dress, called ‘Dolores’ with my feet in the water of a swimming pool, and a sketch book on my lap.
Esmée is one of the dancers of ‘The Barbarellas’. She dances on 60s events organised by Amsterdam Beat Club – a great opportunity for me to shoot vids and photos of nice girls wearing my dresses. But Esmée was kind enough to also pose for a street fashion shoot and gave Comic Sexy some iconic pictures!

When I was developing Comic Sexy i made photos of happy clients showing the Tailored-to-Fit’ dresses i designed as well as lucky friends. Laura is my partner so she helped me out on every basically every occasion. Comic Sexy dresses are perfect for her – she looks good in them and she is a great model – so we had this win-win situations on city trips.
