Dutch designer Duran Lantink’s playful, upcycled creations have earned his namesake label international recognition, a wave of editorial coverage and a host of celebrity fans.
In 2018, he designed the infamous “vagina” trousers worn by Janelle Monáe in her “Pynk” music video, exemplifying his tongue-in-cheek, surreal approach to fashion. Since then, he’s worked with high profile artists including Beyoncé, Billie Eilish and Doja Cat, and received a wave of global editorial coverage
Lantink studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam, developing a distinctive style characterised by a fusion of avant-garde aesthetics and environmental consciousness.
Lantink won the prestigious Andam Special Prize in 2023 and LVMH’s 2024 Karl Lagerfeld Special Jury Prize. His pieces are also part of permanent collections at institutions such as London’s Victoria & Albert Museum and Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum.
His collections have received editorial exposure unusual for an emerging brand, appearing on the covers of Vogue China, M Le Monde, DUST, Another Magazine, Elle UK, Harper's Bazaar France and Homme Girls.
Lantink continues to push the boundaries of design and his brand, based in Amsterdam and Paris, remains at the forefront of a new generation of designers aiming to fuse fashion, innovation and eco consciousness.
