Rozema/Teunissen’s designs are part of a defining time in Dutch fashion. With their work, they have paved the way for generations but unfortunately until today, their heritage is not tangible, nor visible. The majority of their archive is analogue, put together way before the rise of social media and the internet. Monument aims to bring these items back to the surface.

In our constant hunger for new fashion, we have forgotten about the artistry that is fashion design and the amount of energy and dedication it takes for a designer to create their work. Whilst autonomous artists create a body of work during the length of their career, fashion designers are expected to reinvent themselves several times per year which subsequently, makes their previous work look irrelevant to the public. This fascinating part of and fashion is the reason why this paper Monument has been created.
