Work in progress
A project by Lernert & Sander

In search of the story of the Dutch costume designer Jean Botter who worked for the last sultan of Turkey at the beginning of the 20th century. During our research period in Istanbul we worked in the old atelier of Jean Botter on a handmade 501 jeans, the favourite piece of clothing of curator Guus Beumer.
