The White Blouse

Since 2011, photographer Marie-Jeanne van Hövell tot Westerflier has been working on a series of portraits in which a century-old white blouse plays a leading role. Over 75 people of all ages and both sexes have accepted her invitation to pose for a photo shoot with the antique garment. This book presents the results of her project, preceded by an account of the photographer's work and career. It contains white blouse portraits not only of Dutch celebrities like Jenny Arean, Jort Kelder, Alexandra Radius, Toer van Schayk and Daan Schuurmans, but also of lesser-known people and some children.
