Dutch-born designer Ilja Visser first launched her namesake couture collection in 2005. International recognition came after Ilja Visser showed her collection at Amsterdam Fashion Week. Ilja Visser made her official debut in the highest fashion league when she got invited by the Fédération Française de la Couture in Paris to present her Fall-Winter 15/16 couture collection INGENIUM EXISTERE on their official haute couture calendar. World-famous people bought her couture: Lady Gaga, Kourtney Kardashian, Avril Lavigne, Alicia Keys and Janet Jackson to name a few.
âIn the metaverse, where creative aspects are limitless, I consider bringing both physical and metaphysical aspects together in a feminine, nonchalant undertone. With the results of this âurban coolâ abaya collection, I bring creativity to a higher level. I consider it an honour to project my creative vision on such a historical garment and to bring this vision into the digital worldâ.
