Melissa Siegrist, (1984, Am­s­ter­dam) star­ted study­ing Ar­chi­tec­ture at the School of Arts in Utrecht and later com­pleted fash­ion stud­ies at the Arnhem In­sti­tute of Fine Arts (ArtEZ).

She gradu­ated in 2010 with a sober, clear and fresh col­lec­tion in wo­menswear, with a touch of mas­culin­ity. Sportswear in­spired ready-to-wear ex­ecuted with clas­sic pop­lins, wools, and jer­sey. Strong tailored shorts, polo shirts, and blouses, in grey-tones. A re­laxed sil­hou­ette, com­fort­able and el­eg­ant.

After two in­tern­ships at Vikt­or & Rolf's menswear de­part­ment, and an in­tern­ship in New York with Three As Four, she is tak­ing her steps to even fur­ther ex­plore menswear.

For the Team '12 col­lec­tion, Melissa Siegrist con­tin­ues to ex­plore the bor­ders between clas­sic mens and wo­menswear. A com­bin­a­tion of big sculp­tur­al tops, with flu­id bot­toms in mul­tiple lay­ers. In­trigued by vol­canos and their fer­til­ity and power. This col­lec­tion res­ults in burnt col­or tones (navy, black grey, and forest green) and ripped open weaves which take in­spir­a­tion from earth and ash. An un­con­ven­tion­al com­bin­a­tion of ma­ter­i­als (raw jute, lin­en, silk chif­fons, and clas­sic pop­lins) are bal­anced through pro­por­tion and con­sist­ency.
