My close friend and phenomenal fashion designer Sean Henry Van der Simon tagged oneself via a link on my Facebook page last night. With the simple message 'You will love this vest'.
He was right. I did love the vest. Turqoise blue, harsh blacks, clean whites and burnt oranges in the form of self-developed prints from Belgium based Tom Van Der Borght. The 2011 winner of the Belgian Final of the Triumph Inspiration Award. Of which his work was worn by model Lily Cole.

His new collection entitled Church of Chica (or COC for short) inspired by manipulation and creating the image and illusion of a cult. Documenting the various aspects of cult life, love, positivity, peace to brainwashing, fear, terrorism and destruction.
All through the use of textures, volumes and colours. Colours presented in wave after wave of neon florescents and vibrant UV influences. Tom also uses printed microscopic images of the hereditary muscular disease he suffers from. Tom states "In a way u could say the whole collection is an encouragment to more self-worship and connection with our own selves."
Take a look at the extremely artistic fashion film in honour of his Church of Chica collection via the clip below. More info can be found at notjustalabel.com.
