Introducing the 1st garment for my “Coated & Corroded” extended collection. Continuing the theme of corrosion, distressing, and decay, fabric manipulation and experimentation remain at the forefront of my practice.

As I write my thesis for @tfbmag /@tfbcollective , I will be creating looks for this collection as a representation and extension of my personal taste. I can’t wait to continue developing both my creative identity and stylistic approach as a designer. More coming soon!!

It’s OK to change your mind..

Is what I would say to anyone banging their head on the desk for sticking to a choice made before seeing the shots.

For this cover shoot and editorial spread for TFB Magazine the initial direction was to use the pink background, but when editing it felt off we switched direction.

We decided to get rid of the pink for a neutral background, and push the shadows in a mix of green and yellow, giving the images a more raw and lived-in quality.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! 🍒🍒🍒

And thank you for 2025! Our best year ever and so grateful for all the special moments and highlights. I want to thank you all for making Magasin part of your special moments too! We did over 150 rentals last year, a huge increase and that makes me so happy!!! Magasin was also featured in multiple cookbooks, a dream!! And to be featured in so many magazines this year is also unbelievable!! And having an intern for the first time? Who would have guessed at the start of all this?

As 2025 was such a good year I’m a bit nervous for 2026 I must say. I hope we will make it in to an even better one (aaaah manifesting)!! But I’m sure it will be great, we moved in to a new studio (which is not temporary lease!!) so already a few big steps have been made to go smooooth into 2026 💓

Love and see you soon!
Merlijn

As we curate Built to Taste, we’re opening up the kitchen. 🍴

while the internet loves to say “Gen Z doesn’t read,” we know that’s not true. We study, scroll, share, and show up for one another.

Across countries, cultures, and languages, we’re connected by curiosity; by the desire to learn, question, and authenticly build something that lasts.

So as we craft this issue through 2026 - launching in 2027 (yes, we’re letting it bake👩🏾‍🍳), here’s your Built to Taste Reading Menu:

Filled with great reads to help you align with the inner workings of our upcoming Issue, Built To Taste.

Afgelopen week sprak ik met Sjadela over het moederland: Suriname, intergenerationeel trauma en het belang van ‘t bos. Een prachtig gesprek over georganiseerde religie, je misplaatst voelen en over de erkenning en heling van doorgekniptte wortels. Alles is terug te lezen in de publicatie van: Het Suriname Schrift.

Wil je graag helpen dit te realiseren? Je hebt nog 2 dagen om te doneren aan: https://www.voordekunst.nl/projecten/19389-het-suriname-schrift
