CLJP Originals

Unique clothes
For unique people

CL - Carine Lauwers - and JP - Jan Pieter de Kok

decided in 1999
that together they would
create originals
based on the principle:
From the beginning there will only be one!
They succeeded
on different levels
amongst others
through several fashion collections.
From the second one onwards
they approached
other artists
to collaborate with,
to transform
fashion into art.
Unique pieces are created with great care and they are skillfully handcrafted in natural materials
(wool, cotton, silk, leather or skins). The pieces are made as part of one of the collections.
These collections reflect the detailed research into alchemy and androgyny. Based on the
theories of Carl Gustav Jung and Erich Neumann, a step by step inquiry is undertaken, from
the Great Mother figure, its male counterpart, through the elementary female and the elementary
male, their transformations, until finally man and woman will meet.
