What is normal? That’s the question that started this journey three years a go with Tom Van der Borght. Our purpose was not to create something that’s inclusive, but challenge what inclusion means. Because let’s be honest: people aren’t neutral.  Bodies aren’t neutral.  Identity isn’t neutral. What people actually want is collections that pushes beyond men and woman. Not the loss of identity but the freedom within it.  Together with Tom Van Der Borght, we chose not to flatten that complexity but to exaggerate it. Instead of creating something gender neutral, we created something non-normative. It was never about solving inclusivity. It's about reframing it entirely. This Thursday, the collection makes its public debut at Antwerp Fashion Festival. See you there. #HansBoodtMannequins #TomVanDerBorght #AntwerpFashionFestival #MannequinsWithMeaning #VisualMerchandising #RetailDesign #FashionInstallation #BeyondTheNorm
