Haderlump
ABOUT THE COLLECTION
Haderlump’s latest collection is inspired by the small works of art that were glued to the end of books called “Ex Libris”. The first prints were created in the late 15th century, with books being so valuable that people not only wrote their name inside, but commissioned an artist to draw a small picture to mark it as theirs. These Ex Libris bookplates often featured depictions of individual professions, religious narratives, or coats of arms and were transferred into copper plates. While bookplates continued to be designed until the late 20th century, they have become rare and outdated. As books become increasingly digitized, this collection asks: what will happen to these arts in the future? This collection reimagines the forgotten art of Ex Libris bookplates, transforming historical symbols of identity into contemporary fashion. Structured silhouettes and textured materials explore themes of permanence, ownership, and personal storytelling. True to Haderlump’s signature approach, the collection explores the tension between hard and soft materials: durable leather meets lightweight linen, structured cotton contrasts with flowing fabrics. The color palette is restrained and almost bibliophilic: whites, beiges, blacks, and greys.

What non-fashion related sources or experiences have influenced your current collection?
Our collections are always inspired by a variety of influences outside of fashion. We study surfaces and social structures intensively, conducting research before each collection to incorporate these findings into our designs. For our current collection AERO, for example, we studied different surfaces of airplanes and what kind of materials pilots used to wear and drew on the pioneering spirit of the first female pilots to explore how the body can be protected.
