VITA & TIJME

VITAtijme is the collaborative practice of designers Tijme Veldt (NL, 1991) and Vita Stasiukynaite (LT, 1992), who both graduated in fashion design at Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Having started their label in 2020, together they set out to respond to a relentlessly changing world by finding inspiration in the close and personal, everyday life and the things that connect us all. Their collections grow organically and intuitively, in close dialogue with life, its routines, its urgencies and its pleasures. With each collection, they allow their practice to transform and venture into different discourses and contexts - renegotiating fashion as a means for immediate experience and self-expression, and its place in our lives along the way.


Rather than formulating a pre-set aesthetic or design philosophy, VITAtijme envisions a kind of fashion that is continuously moving, changing, growing, eroding and evolving - much like humans. By denying fixed identities, methods and strategies to determine their practice, they aim to foster a more emotional relation between garment and user, by syncing their collections with our times and the (shared and personal) moods that accompany them. This mindset is emphasized by careful considerations and the sole use of vintage garments and fabrics from sustainable sources.
