I'm taking part in the Colours of Winter exhibition with 10 of my coats.
For the opening there were 10 models to show my work.
The correspondent of a local newspaper wrote this:
" VerdrInken in Schoonheid
Al direct bij binnenkomst werd het publiek verrast op prachtige Japanse bloemsierkunst. Vervolgens was er de verwondering van de modellen die staande op sokkels imposante gewaden droegen. Iedere jas heeft een ander verhalend patroon en de vlammende kleuren vloeien in elkaar over. Ontwerpster en maakster van de gewaden; Marijke van Welzen moet over een ongelooflijk geduld bezitten. Twee jassen per jaar gaan er door haar handen. Hier ist es! Neem hiervoor
de tijd en laat je blik verdrinken in de schoonheid ervan. "
" Drowning
in Beauty
Directly when
entering the show the public was surprised by a beautiful Japanese flower
arrangement. Then there was the wonderment of the models standing on their
pedestals wearing imposing garments. Each coat with another story telling
design and the flaming colours flowing into
each other.
Designer Marijke van Welzen must possess an incredible amount of patience. She makes
about two coats a year. Here it is ! Take your time to see it and let your gaze
drown in the beauty of it all."
Instead of the dressmakers forms we placed the models on the pedestals.
Mind you during the exhibition the coats will be shown on dressmakers forms.
Violinist Merel Vercammen gave a preview of her concerts in the museum.
There were speeches to open the exhibitions
And then the Japanese ambassador Mr H. Inomata and his wife opened the exhibitions.
Of course the models could mingle with the public now.
