Dutch born, London based Maaike Mekking entitled her autumn/winter 2010-2011 collection ‘WITCH-CRAFT-WO-MAN-SHIP’.
Mekking’s collection was inspired by films such as ‘Badlands’(1973) and ‘Christiane F’(1981).

The designer’s fervent line up employed a palette of ochre, sand, blush and charcoal black fabrics. The line up explores masculine American classics ( denim jeans, leather biker jackets etc) with textured camel wool, dependable denim and jersey and ethereal silk chiffon.

For the collection, the designer (she has a postgraduate degree in womenswear from The Royal College of Art) collaborated with artists such as Joseph Xorto, Tania Leshkina and Anastasia Freyang.
