About KleermakersWerkplaats

Working at the intersection of artisanal tailoring and costume history, the practice focuses on the construction, reconstruction, and analysis of historical garments. Tailoring is used as a research method to study historical clothing systems through making.

Historical garments are examined through hands-on reconstruction, with attention to construction techniques, material choices, and pattern logic. Rather than treating garments only as visual references, they are approached as functional and technical objects that can be tested and understood through practice.

The work centers on how historical clothing is built, how it operates on the body, and how knowledge embedded in garments can be accessed through reconstruction and material analysis.
