Based in Amsterdam, Camiel Fortgens explores the space between construction and imperfection. Each collection reinterprets familiar garments through a lens of honesty and experimentation, revealing seams, edges, and inner structures that would usually remain hidden. His work feels both unfinished and deliberate, challenging traditional ideas of polish and perfection.
With a background in industrial design rather than formal fashion training, Fortgens treats clothing as a study in form and proportion. Jeans twist, shirts hang unevenly, and outerwear carries the trace of human touch. The result is a body of work that feels raw, tactile, and deeply individual, inviting wearers to embrace the irregular beauty of process.
Camiel Fortgens continues to refine this dialogue between refinement and authenticity, building a world that values curiosity over conformity and material truth over surface appeal.
