International fashion film award for Diek Pothoven and Luuk Kuijf

Close friends Diek Pothoven (1993) and Luuk Kuijf (1990) (who decided after graduating from the ArtEZ Academy of Art & Design in Arnhem that everything is more fun together) showed their first collection as a duo in January this year during Amsterdam Fashion Week.

It was a collection with a deep message about religion and spirituality.
