I get a lot of energy from people across the world who push boundaries by taking insane ideas and turning them into a reality.

If you don’t know, MAISON the FAUX is an Arnhem based creative studio posing as an upscale couturier, led by designers Joris Suk and Tessa de Boer. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is that endears me to them, whether it’s their brazen self inclusion in the fashion industry, or the pure artistic expression represented in their imagery and clothing. They describe their work as “an affectionate reaction to the current fashion industry”, but perhaps for me it’s the blend of all this with an exclusive dusting of je ne sais quoi – that intrigue and aloofness that cannot be bought.

Please enjoy this preview of Maison the FAUX’s themed collection of hotel rooms at Hotel the Exchange in Amsterdam, where all 61 rooms are decorated by fashion designers. Each room is unique and varies from 1-to-5 stars. If you’re local, head in this weekend for some retail therapy with an outrageous twist.
