Description

A deep conversation with Ronald van der Kemp (RVDK) a very creative soul who speaks about how staying true to himself and his own beliefs made him achieve his lifelong dream of becoming a globally celebrated sustainable Fashion Designer.    Guest Introduction:    I hope you are ready for a wild ride into the ever-moving world of high fashion, gorgeous supermodels, extremely talented fashion designers and flashy movie stars dressed up in the most exquisite creations - because my next guest is in the very midst of all of this.   His own demi-couture fashion house is responsible for the most wonderful garments worn by Royalty like Her Royal Highness Sheikha Mozha Bint Nasser, supermodels such as Kate Moss, Adriana Lima and Karlie Kloss singers like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Celine Dion and Kate Perry and actresses such as Pryanka Chopra Jonas, Emma Watson, Lily Collins and Dakota Johnson - and this list goes on and on.    Ronald van der Kemp worked for over 25 years as a designer and creative director for high-end international luxury brands such as Bill Blass, Celine/Michael Kors, Guy Laroche and Barneys New York before starting ‘RVDK’ a label under his own name in August 2014.    ‘RVDK’ is on a mission to show the world that ethical fashion can be glamorous and exciting and profoundly believes that a form of art can change behaviour which leads to a bigger change in the industry. “The world is full of beautiful things and we can’t see it anymore. Because we are too busy to consider them or too rookie to appreciate them.” is an RVDK observation prominently featured on the label’s website.    The vision and mission of RVDK is not just a hollow slogan as this designer ensures that 95% of the material used for his designs already exists. With that RVDK is the very first sustainable couture brand in the world and Ronald the very first green pioneer haute couture designer on the globe.    In an interview with the French ‘Federation de la Haute Couture et de la Mode’ Ronald states that RVDK is trying to reinvent the notion of couture.    “We are not really a Couture House but more a movement that is trying to change things in the world.” says Ronald.    “We want to work with companies and customers who want to be different, who have a point of view and a strength that wants to exude what they are about. We all need to think differently, this is what I am looking for.”   So much to talk about with this world famous sustainable designer who is on a mission to design clothes with a soul!    Ronald a very warm welcome to you! * You can find more of Ronald’s amazing designs on his website: https://www.ronaldvanderkemp.com
