//Vlisco//
Last week I've been in Paris for PremièreVision one of the best Fashion Shows in Europe . I've been looking for inspiration in Paris and I found this amazing little book about Vlisco one of the greatest designers and manufacturers of ‘Wax Hollandais´.
At the end of the 19 century Vlisco enter the African Market with his ´´Real Dutch Wax fabric`` developed by the company in a semi -manufactured product. The story says that this African fabric after all manufactured and design in Holland has it's origin in Java Batik, brought by the Dutchman from their colonies in Indonesia and also from African soldiers that wore fighting in the colonies under dutch command. Companies such as Vlisco saw this great opportunity to develop the Batik fabric in a more industrialised and fast production technique and for that they invented new printing machines.
