INGE ONSEA

Inge Onsea is a total embodiment of joie de vivre which makes her the perfect guest during The Most wonderful time of the year.  As the co-founder and creative director of global brand ESSENTIEL ANTWERP Inge has lived quite the rollercoaster of a life. A self-described "woman without a plan" Inge's career flowed from gigs as a background singer to magician’s assistant to ‘mannequin de cabine’ for big names like MUGLER and Max Mara before founding her own label in 1999 with her business partner and father of her children Esfan Eghtessadi.  As she and Dominique sit down for a long conversation, Inge describes the road from starting out designing a few T-shirts to growing a global brand with 165 employees, 30+ flagship stores (from London to Paris to  Seoul to New York) and 780 salespoints worldwide including Neiman Marcus and Anthropologie – while still remaining independent.  Inge also has no qualms talking about the beautiful chaos that is her private life and how her travels and home contribute to living an unapologetic life.  This episode of The Most is brought to you by MAISON NOILLY PRAT, the original vermouth crafted by the sea in the South of France.  Enjoy responsibly.  Happy Holidays!  Inge Onsea  ESSENTIEL ANTWERP  Follow The Most:  on Instagram.  on Facebook.

VINCENT VAN DE WAAL

Vincent van de Waal, creative director of global streetwear juggernaut Patta came fully willing to talk and as he starts out by telling Dominique they can discuss everything she wants, your host couldn't be happier.  Listen in as the duo traces back Vincent's journey from hanging outside the local community centre and parole office in Leiden to his big move to Amsterdam at the tender age of seventeen and getting his first jobs selling ties and later on nuts at the market.  The true quest into where his passions lie lead Vincent to a succesful run at the prestigious Rietveld Academy where he found multiple mentors and associates for life.  The two also discuss his lifetime commitment to Patta, team work, his style influences, the evolution of his visual art practice, the aspirations of his post-punk band OWN and - drumroll - future Patta plans.  Follow Vincent van de Waal HERE Follow Patta HERE  Follow The Most: on Instagram. on Facebook.

WILLY VANDERPERRE

The globally acclaimed photographer and rebel eternal Willy Vanderperre visits Dominique Nzeyimana at the loft.  From pastoral Belgium to the world, during an ongoing and decades-spanning career, Willy Vanderperre has lensed highly influential fashion editorials and campaigns season after season.  When i-D magazine first published young Willy’s work with Raf Simons and the Antwerp Six, it attuned the fashion world at large to his gift. In the following years the most coveted houses and labels like Raf Simons, Jil Sander, Dior, Calvin Klein, Prada, Alaïa and many more all leaned on Willy Vanderperre’s eye for creating culture-shifting and cerebral imagery. As a favoured cover snatcher and editorial contributor, Willy Vanderperre - who has been good friends for years with print god Jefferson Hack - has been published on the pages of DAZED, Another/Another Man, System, DUST, LOVE, W Magazine, Vogue, 032C and more.  Willy Vanderperre has captured modern muses like Frank Ocean, Rihanna, Arca, Lupita N’yongo, A$AP Rocky, Solange, Dev Hynes, The XX, Maharshela Ali, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Willow Smith, FKA twigs, Zendaya, Michelle Williams, Margot Robbie – the list is endless and incredibly impressive.  His art prompts instant recognition: a Willy Vanderperre shot connects rock hard and squarely. His eternal fascination with youth, yearning, isolation, angst and pop culture has burgeoned into a visual language that extends to all senses, whether they’re expressed through stills or moving parts. Various works of his have been on view at prestigious museums like the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and MoMu in Antwerp.  At this particular moment in time, Willy Vanderperre’s first feature film ‘Heartlands’ is setting the underground alight. In a future-classic sit-down, Dominique and Willy discuss the renegade’s upbringing, self-defining spirit & contrarian nature as he has lived his life questioning barriers from rock bottom moments to the top.  Hear how the artist started drawing from a young age & leaned into his own queer expressiveness through fashion and music. Willy also voices his admiration and views on the new generation(s), and how his lauded filmography went through naked, wasted and sacred stages to bloom into ‘Heartlands’ - his breathtaking debut feature film.  A timeless conversation on everything to know from the man himself, sharing priceless morsels on a life and career forged in your own way, with your own unique voice.  Follow The Most: on Instagram. on Facebook.

FARIDA SEDOC

After giving Dominique a private tour of 'Non-Profit At All Cost',  the exhibition she curated at NEST, The Hague, visual artist, curator, fashion & print designer and writer Farida Sedoc takes some time out to look back on her life and practice so far.  From a difficult couple of years at Fashion University over a devastating park brawl that acted as the fire-starter for her multi-layered cult-label ‘HOSSELAER’  to showing work at some of the best museums in The Netherlands & beyond, Farida Sedoc knows what it means to dig deep and persevere.  Her artistic work, interventions and curatorship are crucial in challenging the collective consciousness by centring the often unseen or avoided. With forever ties to big city life, her Surinamese heritage and Hip-Hop culture, her work explores, pushes back & reflects on western dogmas and the influence of money, identity, globalism and politics.  The exhibition ‘Non-Profit At All Cost’ is on until November 6 2022 at NEST The Hague. Info & tickets here.
