29th of April: Workshop Kei Kagami in the Dutch Leather and Shoe Museum

This Monday, April 29th, Kei Kagami will give a workshop in the Dutch Leather and Shoe Museum in Waalwijk. The London-based fashion designer Kei Kagami is a master of conceptual design.



This workshop, for fashion and shoe design students only, is entirely sponsored by YKK Netherlands. Therefore the museum can offer this workshop for free. YKK is the largest supplier of zippers in the world and also sponsor of Kei Kagami.

Kei Kagami likes to use zippers in conceptual designs as in his shoes. Like no other he can show you how zippers processed and can be adjusted in a design. In the workshop on 29 April, he will show fastening tricks and techniques using simple tools and know-how. And how to shorten, to sew, to process zippers and how to handle 3-, 4- or 5-way zippers. He shows how to implement two runners in the same zip and how to create an vintage look and even how to get a zipper to work smoother. As an added bonus to the workshop he will show how to oxidize metal heels.
