When Yatzer first received Bart Hess‘ latest video for Modebelofte 2011, we were speechless and in total awe of the slow fluidity and biomorphic approach to presenting this year’s most promising Dutch fashion graduates. In this video, Hess has created soft-focused, blurred human forms that serve to illuminate and unify the designs of these up and coming fashion designers. The futuristic and yet tranquil movements combined with the cutting-edge fashion design is nothing short of completely captivating.

The artist shows a very personal and recognisable signature. With his designs, he applies new and existing materials to create innovative designs and seems to tap into new worlds. A perfect presentation in which the tactility of the materials that are used, is transferred in an extraordinary way. His work is sensational, almost dramatic through the use of modern techniques and materials. He creates his own stage and international collaborations with high-profile names such as Lady Gaga, Palais de Tokyo, Iris van Herpen and Nick Knight.
