Steef Offerhaus | Steef Offerhaus

Illustrator and maker Steef Offerhaus was selected during the Scout Night in Rotterdam. In the development plan, Offerhaus describes the ambition to design a clothing collection as an ode to ravers, skaters and everyone who falls outside the norm. Under the name Paradice, which freely translates to 'a paradise for everyone', Offerhaus combines fashion, graphic design and events. The maker states that Paradice should stand for individual responsibility, creativity, autonomy and living up to your own ideals. In the coming year Offerhaus will research rave culture, under the supervision of Marieke Holtes. He will do this by conducting interviews, following theoretical research and documenting information. For the collection, Offerhaus will experiment with various textile techniques and designs under the supervision of Anna van Jaarsveld. Offerhaus will also visit the Groningen production company Kleerlijk and will learn more about digital programmes for sketches, mood boards and sewing patterns under the supervision of Jesse Nikolaj. The research and the collection will come together in a rave, to be organized by Offerhaus in collaboration with Steven Morais. The looks will be captured by photographer Lois Cohen and styled with the help of Marleen Ettema. Offerhaus aims to reach a large audience and therefore seeks advice from digital marketing consultant Melle Wehman.
