Profiel: Antoine Peters
Antoine Peters is volgens eigen zeggen "een gewone jongen uit de Achterhoek", volgens anderen is hij een opkomende ontwerper met internationale allure. Zo werd hij opgenomen in het boek 100 New Fashion Designers en ontwierp hij in 2009 de officiële kleding voor de medewerkers van de Arnhem Modebiënnale. Wij van CCAA vinden Antoine vooral een waardig Hall of Fame-member en steunen hem graag in zijn missie om de wereld te veroveren.

About the company:
ANTOINE PETERS is a lifestyle brand which undermines and comments negativity. More serious matter is brought in a light manner, with the arising of a new unbiased and open-minded perspective as a result.
ANTOINE PETERS is known for its optimism, playfulness, self-mockery and renewing form of elegance. ANTOINE PETERS brings airiness by means of concept, but also literally in the designs itself. A big love for playing with extremes and proportions in material, print, silhouette and concept play an important role within this surrealistic and iconic designs.
ANTOINE PETERS stands for 'one size fits all elegance'. The best of both worlds of 'casual' and 'sophistication'. All based upon a smile.
Current project:
Building the ANTOINE PETERS brand with the goal to be on a vacation in a country far far away and bump into a stranger that is feeling happy and wearing ANTOINE PETERS.
Source of inspiration:
My sketchbooks which are titled 'Le petit Antoine. Filled with articles, sketches, words and lots of random crazy idea's from dresses, to prints, to chairs, to shops, to cd-covers, to arty stuff, to ...
And listening to lots of music.
My big idea:
Spreading a smile by wearing or watching ANTOINE PETERS.
Favourite tools:
I-Phone and a ball-point. Not very chic, but I like to sketch with ball-points the most. And of course the brand new signature ANTOINE PETERS scarf.
Favourite website:
Style.com, Designyoutrust.com and Nu.nl
Hobby:
Playing soccer. Which explains my weakness for calves and leaving them as bared as possible in my designs. :)
Best advice I ever received:
Some problems get solved by not making a problem out of them.
Biggest blunder:
Deciding not to put a real big ass elephant on the catwalk.
Secret admiration for:
Before going to sleep, reading some strips out of my collection comic-albums of my heroes Dirkjan and Garfield. (And annoying my girlfriend because of the 'laughter-wiggling' of the mattress. :)
Biggest threat for your company:
Just myself, by wanting to achieve too much, too fast and at the same time, just like I'm dreaming it.
And nudists.
Tips for professional colleagues:
Think big!
As an ambassador of Amsterdam, I would...
I would design little happy 'rat suits' for the cab drivers.
