Dutch fashion designer, Mattijs van Bergen, announced his latest collection, Noor. The selection, based on five styles of pleated dresses in different color schemes, is a collaboration with Syrian pleating specialist, Bakri Shoukeh.

Van Bergen announced Noor on Instagram, posting: “Pleased (or pleated) to meet you, this is NOOR!” Adding that the collection is named after Dutch artist, Saskia Noor van Imhoff.

Noor is available on the Mattijs van Bergen web shop, priced at €295.00 for each style. The campaign features a diverse group of women, including, Dutch plus-size model Mayra Louise de Wilde, as the collection ranges from sizes small to large.

Noor is part of Van Bergen’s Matter line, a studio movement in which the designer creates sustainable, and limited-edition collections, produced in Europe.

In 2008 the designer launched his first label, Mattijs, which was carried at Browns Focus London and Luisa Via Roma. In 2012 Van Bergen was awarded with the Mercedes Benz Dutch Fashion Award. After commercial failure in 2015, he started anew after a few months under the name Mattijs van Bergen.
