Success Stories

Teun Seuren

Right after he graduated cum laude at Hogeschool voor Kunsten Utrecht (HKU) in 2017, Teun Seuren started his own label TEUN. Additionally, he worked as a freelance designer and in a fabric store in Hilversum - one day he is busy making curtains, the other day he is busy creating designs for Drag Queens. Moreover, he creates handmade couture looks together with the Krokant Agency team. “Currently I am doing everything myself, because I first want to find out what the possibilities are before I dive into it with someone else”. 

Teun mainly works on menswear but plays with gender and fragility - masculinity and femininity are the central topic in his work. “What is masculine and what is feminine after all? I want to show the strength of vulnerability, show that men can also be flamboyant and feminine.” The highlight of his career so far is the collection A GOLDEN RENAISSANCE, which he presented during FASHIONCLASH Festival 2019. “This collection really put me on the map as a young designer”. 

Currently Teun is busy developing himself as an artist instead of ‘just a designer’. “I would love to learn new techniques like glass blowing, gold smithing and other crafts I can implement in my work. (…) Thanks to the connections FASHIONCLASH has, I have been able to develop myself more in the field of costume design” (…) – Teun has been designing costumes for FANTASIO for Opera Zuid and for PEOPLE ON DIS PLAY, a play made by the students of Toneelacademie Maastricht – “This kind of projects give me a lot of energy!”

In the future, Teun hopes to work independently as a designer by making costumes for regular customers and to see his clothes in exclusive stores in Amsterdam, London, Berlin and Paris.
