Furore Ambassador and Graphic Consultant Dominique Piers on her love for fashion
Sustainability is at the heart of Furore. From the creation and production process to our packaging and communication tools. Our parent company Flanders Fashion Design International has been collaborating with Drukkerij De Maertelaere for years and we think of Dominique Piers, their graphic consultant, as a fully-fledged member of the Furore team. Dominique offers us personal advice on selecting the right paper and the various finishing possibilities so they reflect Furore’s image and sustainability vision.
Just like our designer Elke Baert, Dominique loves to be inspired by beautiful things: design, art, fashion, interior objects and printed materials. “Social media has become such an important channel for reaching your target group, but real printing remains my great love,” she says.
Edition Six. Inspired by Amanda Gorman 'The Hill We Climb'
For FURORE Edition Six, designer Elke Baert found inspiration in the powerful performance by Afro-American word artist Amanda Gorman. With her poem ‘The Hill We Climb’ during Joe Biden’s inauguration, Gorman put herself on the international literary map in an almost iconic way. Her means of achieving this – through a big hand gesture and with a distinctively bright outfit – did not just appeal to Elke Baert’s imagination; with her ‘message of unity’ and graceful gestures, Gorman touched the entire world. This makes her nothing less than a woman at the age of influence in Baert’s eyes: a true FURORE woman.
Edition Five. Inspired by Raveel's Garden with Cart to Transport the Sky
For FURORE Edition Five, fashion and art are once again intimately entwined. This time, designer Elke Baert found inspiration in the oeuvre of Belgian painter Roger Raveel (1921 - 2013), whose birth centenary is currently being celebrated with comprehensive retrospectives at both BOZAR and the Roger Raveel Museum.
