"Couture isn't about reality or wearability, it is freedom of thinking, my atelier, like a lab, is a place of discovery and development. After which a new journey begins to translate my couture to clothing for women"

The evening dress is from the designer's autumn/winter 2011 'Nature Extends'€™ collection. Director Benno Tempel is overjoyed. "We were the first museum ever to purchase a JANTAMINIAU creation. This fairytale creation is one of the top items in our current fashion exhibition and we're proud to have the opportunity to add it to our collection. By doing so, we're underlining the museum quality of his work"

Jan Taminiau is constantly looking for new ways to expand his romantic world. Often, his new ways lead him back into history to explore rich traditions, half forgotten crafts and original fabrics.

Designer Jan Taminiau is known for his love for traditional production techniques, antique materials, the search for the right shape and the penchant for aesthetics. "Signature elements in all my collections are the use of refined materials, different artisanal techniques and experimental components which makes each collection original and timeless"

Our love is like the wind. I can't see it, but I can feel it.

The Unicorn is a legendary animal. In European folklore, the Unicorn is often depicted as a white horse-like animal with a long horn. In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, it was commonly described as an extremely wild woodland creature, a symbol of purity and grace, which could only be captured by a virgin. In the encyclopedias its horn was said to have the power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sickness.

Ssst, my brother is sleeping

Longing for the violet crystal

Sweet dreams on a water lily

Lupinen and fractal-flowers on a sunny afternoon

I can fly with my butterflies

I wanna be a cowgirl

Please don't cry, I will always be your friend
