Maison GJVS — Collection 05
Portraits Minéraux
after the photographs of Gert-Jan van Sonsbeek
Ephemeral edition — 2026
Manifesto
A meeting of gesture, matter and object. For this edition, Maison GJVS carries Gert-Jan van Sonsbeek's photographic eye beyond the frame. Patterns emerge from stone, oxide and light, then settle onto silk. A collection conceived as an exhibition you can carry with you.
After the #DREAMS OF EXTRACTION series — minerals, DR Congo
The artist
Gert-Jan van Sonsbeek
Garment designer and photographer — Bruxelles
A dreamer, I am driven by a passion for clothing and for image, which I express as much through the cut of my pieces as through photography. His photographs of minerals and blooms, enlarged to the point of abstraction, become the patterns of the Maison's squares and stoles.
“In a world of mass production, I want to offer originality and beauty. Every piece is made with care.”
