My name is Korinna van Balkom, and I would like to
welcome you my ideal world. In my world, all men wear suits, because in my
opinion there is certain pure, natural beauty about men, without them realizing
it, and I think the suit is the only perfect realization that radiates this
pure beauty.
All the time, I am and will be busy with searching for
the perfect contemporary translation of the traditional suit. The traditional
suit had an infinite evolution with unlimited possibilities, which keeps
challenging me to create a ideal modern version.
Lately I focused on the reputation of the suit. In
recent decades, the clear separation between men and women and their duties are
faded more and more. Times of ‘housewives’ and ‘businessmen’ are gone, and so
is conformal clothing. So I designed the contemporary suit, not worn to radiate
authority and formality, but because people respect it´s pure beauty again.
