Atilla

Tailors of Amsterdam

Meet Atilla Kiliç: Atilla began his career in the setting of Istanbul in the late 1970s, but has since become a household name in the capital. He learned the tricks of the trade from an aunt who made tailor-made clothes for Turkish celebrities and from Amsterdam craftsmen. "I sometimes get an item that is worn down to the seams, but those are precisely the items I repair with love. Why throw something away? I like the fact that someone can keep seeing the beauty in it. Besides, fashion repeats itself every twenty years anyway, so it's still going to be a winner.”

Abbas

Naadloos

Meet Hamed Yousofi: At the age of nine, Abbasi's father took his son under his wing in Afghanistan to teach him the tricks of the trade. From Kandahar, the family flees to Rotterdam and, in no time, builds a family business with several branches. "I come from a family of tailors, so striving for perfection is something I was born into. I love my job. It may sound cliché, but it really is my hobby. I will not go home until all my customers are satisfied. I can't wait to get back to work on Monday morning."

Mediha

Twins

Meet Mediha Kaplan: "After studying fashion and clothing, I moved from Almelo to The Hague to found Twins with my twin sister. That was in 1989, which happens to be the same year of birth as G-Star RAW. I hate throwing things away, because there is manpower in every product. So you would also be destroying the soul of a garment. Offering a second chance: that is what's important to me. I think as a tailor you have to show consumers that this opportunity is actually there."

Vangelis

Oerania

Meet Vangelis Vlastaris: "I was trained as a physiotherapist, but when I was a student, I started doing odd jobs in my grandmother's workshop. As a young woman in Athens, she worked for famous designers. A powerful woman who also instilled in me the love for the trade. Just like my mother. And so I abandoned the medical field, but now I help people in a different way. What's my specialty? I love zips! I find hardware incredibly interesting. The harder the better."
