INTRODUCING SCHEPERS BOSMAN
Schepers Bosman is formed by fashion designer duo Sanne Schepers and Anne Bosman. Together, they have a collective design practice focused on hands-on research and craft. Schepers Bosman creates small-scale, artisanal clothing collections. Each piece is designed, developed and produced in a their in-house atelier in The Netherlands.
This approach to creation informs the aesthetic voice of Schepers Bosman - a harmony of contemporary everyday wear and traditional craftsmanship. Sanne and Anne’s focus is ultimately on the hand of the maker; each pattern is drafted, fitted and finished by hand before it is added to the collection.
The designs are inclusive in fit, designed for a wide array of bodies. Made from high-quality, durable and responsibly sourced cottons and rigid denims, woven in The Netherlands, Italy and England. Each Schepers Bosman piece is finished with an individual machine stitch in a unique thread gauge. Balancing function and decoration, this stitch acts as a graphic finishing touch, a personal signature on each piece. A subtle and intentional detail that speaks to their dedication to craft.
“… there is always a never-ending conversation going on between each other and everyone around us: artists, musicians, students. The interaction between all the creative individuals is the basis of our work. We design by doing.”
- Sanne Schepers and Anne Bosman
Both Sanne Schepers (Heerlen, 1989) and Anne Bosman (Amsterdam 1988) graduated cum laude from the BA Fashion Design department at ArtEZ Academy of Art & Design Arnhem. Sanne continued her studies at Institut Français de la Mode in Paris, while Anne graduated from MA Central Saint Martins in London.
Next to their own design practice, both of them work in art & design education; Sanne as Head of Department at the BA Fashion Design at ArtEZ Academy of Art and Design Arnhem. Anne as design lecturer at Design Academy Eindhoven and ArtEZ Academy of Art and Design Arnhem.
Schepers Bosman works exclusively on a made-to-order base, aiming to slow down the pace of production and promote mindful consumption. Their designs are available on personal request, as well as via selected stockists worldwide.
The duo presents their work twice a year in private showrooms during Paris Fashion Week.
