Borre Akkersdijk
YEAR 2017
COLLAB RENÉE LEEUW (ROOMED) & MENDO
The designer who fuses technology, fashion and design. His research on technology and textiles, a relatively unexplored area, has made Borre the whizz-kid of wearable tech. With his label, BYBORRE, he brought the two disciplines together with fashion. He works on the integration of technology with textiles and explores how we can use tech and communication through the medium of our clothing. We visited Borre and his team for The Workshop.
“The machine doesn’t work by itself. We have a dialogue with it. I think that is very important.”

“I am very grateful to have like-minded people around me who share a passion for innovation.”
