People of the Labyrinths

"When we started The People of The Labyrinths we could never find materials in the right colours or prints. So we decided to do everything ourselves". POTL outfits are all hand-made, hand-dyed and hand-printed. The prints are the kick-off for every new collection. Hans Demoed is the master of the distinctive POTL colour palette and Geert de Rooij comes up with the spectacular prints. The designs form an extensive archive of hundreds of prints from the first ones inspired by computer graphics until the latest ones from the new collections. Geert de Rooij loves the magic moments of the silk-screen printing process - mixing his own colours, when each and every print emerges from the interplay between the conceived and prepared design and his own personal touch during printing.
