about

Camiel Fortgens is an Amsterdam-based clothing brand that creates unisex, reconstructed and unpolished garments. Interpretations of archetypal clothing, executed to form perfectly imperfect handmade pieces.

CF was catapulted into existence in 2014 when Camiel graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven. His choice not to go to fashion school left him with an untarnished and impartial view of fashion design.

Today CF consists of a hub of people working to uncover the unpolished nature of people and their social behavior, in which clothing and imagery play a major role.

The clothing is characterised by exposed details that unify the signature craftmanship Camiel is known for. All the garments are timeless and made with care using the highest quality fabrics sourced throughout Europe and Japan. 

The production of these pieces is carried out in Europe and even though all our ideas are born in  Amsterdam, the garments reach a worldwide audience.

CF is as accessible as it is elusive and the brand continues to explore how the fashion industry can be transformed into a more realistic and authentic entity, one that is relatable to us all.
