Duran Lantink

Duran Lantink is a fashion label based in Amsterdam and Paris known for its ever-evolving, conscious collections. In a process that fuses pre-loved pieces, deadstock and new sustainable materials, garments can transform with the zeitgeist. Upon acquiring, the wearer can gain entry into a series of edits to maintain its relevance. This continuous dialogue between designer and owner makes each creation inherently timeless and one-of-a-kind.

Technology plays a pivotal role in how the brand reflects on the environmental and social issues of today. Its ssaw2021 digital fashion show was filmed and attended solely by drones; garnering critical praise for its striking commentary on access and excess in the fashion industry. Most recently, the brand made its Paris Fashion Week debut with the presentation of the ssaw2023 collection, featuring 39 looks brought to life through merging bespoke three-dimensional sculpting techniques with traditional handiwork.

Lauded by press such as UK Vogue, US Vogue, Dazed, i-D, Paper Magazine and others, Duran Lantink has also caught the eye of cultural icons, having designed custom pieces for the likes of Beyonce, Billie Eilish, City Girls, Doja Cat, Lizzo, Grimes, Janelle Monae, and Solange. Exclusive looks and collections have been sold in prominent retailers such as H. Lorenzo Los Angeles, JOYCE Hong Kong, Concrete Amsterdam, and Browns London.

In 2023, Duran Lantink won the Andam special Prize 2023. Now he is finalist of the LVMH price of 2024.World-renowned institutions such as Met Constume Institute, Victoria & Albert Museum and Stedelijk Museum have acquired work for their permanent collections.

Duran Lantink

is a place to discover Amsterdam’s dynamic and forward-thinking art scene.
