<h2><a href="index_hoed.htm">Hoeden
van Liesbeth Vanwell</a></h2>
<p><font size="2" color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial" class="rechts"><p>Hoeden
zijn van<br />
<br />
alle tijden. Maar in tegenstelling tot <br />
<br />
vroeger zijn <a href="hoeden-exposities.htm">hoeden</a> tegenwoordig <br />
<br />
meer dan een kledingstuk dat het hoofd<br />
<br />
bedekt. Eerder nog dan een modieuze<br />
<br />
expressie, zijn ze geworden tot <br />
<br />
een strikt persoonlijke uiting.<br />
<br />
Het is de finishing touch.<br />
<br />
<b><span class="bold">Liesbeth van Well</span></b><span class="bold">,</span>
hoedenontwerpster uit<br />
<br />
Breda, ervaart bijna dagelijks dat de hoed<br />
<br />
zich mag verheugen in toenemende,<br />
<br />
brede belangstelling.<br />
<br />
Begonnen als ontwerpster van<br />
<br />
bijzondere feestkleding, is zij zich,<br />
<br />
met een knipoog naar de oud Hollandse<br />
<br />
klederdrachten, steeds meer gaan toeleggen<br />
<br />
op het ontwerpen van hoofddeksels.<br />
<br />
Voor vrouwen, maar ook voor mannen en<br />
<br />
kinderen. Voor uiteenlopende<br />
<br />
gelegenheden. Haar ontwerpen<br />
<br />
kenmerken zich door een combinatie<br />
<br />
van kwaliteit, bevlogenheid en fantasie.<br />
<br />
Werkend met bestaande materialen, komt<br />
<br />
ze door stomen, trekken, vouwen en naaien<br />
<br />
tot hoofddeksels met een<br />
<br />
eigen, specifiek karakter,<br />
<br />
die variëren van zeer<br />
<br />
draagbaar en ingetogen tot extravagant.<br />
<br />
Het Engelse Ascot, waar elk jaar weer tal van<br />
<br />
bonte, weelderige en theatrale hoofddeksels<br />
<br />
de show stelen, het Venetiaanse carnaval en<br />
<br />
de modebeurzen in Milaan en Parijs zijn<br />
<br />
weliswaar bronnen van inspiratie,<br />
<br />
enige vorm van imitatie is haar<br />
<br />
vreemd. Want of haar modellen nu barok<br />
<br />
of strak, modern of juist weer heel klassiek<br />
<br />
zijn; ze zijn stuk voor stuk origineel. Zomer-<br />
<br />
en wintermaterialen in verschillende<br />
<br />
kwaliteiten transformeren in haar<br />
<br />
atelier tot de meest fraaie,<br />
<br />
unieke vormen. Het is die geheel<br />
<br />
eigen signatuur, waardoor Liesbeth van Well<br />
<br />
al diverse malen aansprekende prijzen heeft<br />
<br />
gewonnen en waardoor exposities van haar<br />
<br />
modellen even zoveel lovende recensies<br />
<br />
hebben opgeleverd. Prominente <br />
<br />
hoedenwinkels en galerieën in binnen- en<br />
<br />
buitenland weten haar ontwerpen dan ook op<br />
<br />
de juiste waarde te schatten.</font></p></td>

<h2><a href="index_hoed.htm">Hats</a></h2>
<div align="right" class="links"> <p>Hats have been around from the beginning
of time. But, contrary to days gone bye, hats<br />
<br />
have now become more than just<br />
<br />
'something to cover ones head'.<br />
<br />
Rather than simply an item of fashion,<br />
<br />
hats have developed into something quite<br />
<br />
personal: the right hat adding the finishing<br />
<br />
touch. Day in day out,<span class="bold"> Liesbeth van Well,</span><br />
<br />
a hat designer from Breda, the Netherlands,<br />
<br />
experiences the fact that hats are attracting<br />
<br />
more and more attention.<br />
<br />
Although she began her career<br />
<br />
as a designer of special<br />
<br />
party wear, Liesbeth has gradually focussed<br />
<br />
her talents on creating hats that are inspired<br />
<br />
by historical Dutch traditional costumes. Her<br />
<br />
designs are primarily conceived<br />
<br />
with women in mind but her<br />
<br />
versatility also embraces models<br />
<br />
for men and children and can be adapted to<br />
<br />
suit every possible occasion. They are always<br />
<br />
characterised by a unique combination of<br />
<br />
quality, creativity and imagination. Working <br />
<br />
from basic materials she somehow<br />
<br />
manages, by steaming,<br />
<br />
stretching, folding and<br />
<br />
sewing, to fashion these into creations of a<br />
<br />
very specific character which can vary from<br />
<br />
modest and easy to wear to highly<br />
<br />
complicated and extravagant. Although she<br />
<br />
is inspired by events like the Ascot races<br />
<br />
where colourful, glamorous<br />
<br />
and often theatrical creations<br />
<br />
steal the show, or by the frivolous Venetian<br />
<br />
Carnival or by the more serious Milan and<br />
<br />
Paris millinery fashion shows, imitation is not<br />
<br />
her art. Each one of her designs, whether<br />
<br />
austere or Baroque, modern or<br />
<br />
classic,is her own original style<br />
<br />
and totally unique. In her<br />
<br />
studio, summer and winter fabrics of different<br />
<br />
qualities and textures are transformed into<br />
<br />
the most wonderful, authentic shapes and<br />
<br />
forms. For Liesbeth van Well<br />
<br />
it is this personal touch which<br />
<br />
really distinguishes her work. Work which<br />
<br />
has led to her being awarded several coveted<br />
<br />
prizes in her field as well as much praise and<br />
<br />
positive reactions from press and public alike<br />
<br />
It is therefore not difficult to understand why<br />
<br />
famous hat boutiques and galeries in the<br />
<br />
Netherlands and abroad know<br />
<br />
what her designs are worth.</p></div>
