The project

Bart has a very individual and recognisable signature. With his designs, he uses new and existing materials to create innovative things and seems to tap into new worlds. His work is of international stature; he ‘finds’ and creates his own platform and enters into international collaborations with prestigious names such as Lady Gaga, Palais de Tokyo, Iris van Herpen and Lucy McRae. His work has acquired an independent position in the (fashion) world.

Jury

A perfect presentation in which the tactility of the materials that are used, is transferred in a very special way. Hess’ work is sensational, almost dramatic through the use of modern techniques and materials. He creates his own stage and enters into international collaborations with high-profile names such as Lady Gaga, Palais de Tokyo, Iris van Herpen and Lucy McRae.
