Duran Lantink wins Mode Stipendium 2025
The Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium consists of a sum of 50,000 euros, made available by an anonymous donor, and a challenge trophy designed by Atelier Ted Noten. The Dutch Fashion Foundation is a partner in the implementation of the grant and supervises the selection and presentation of the award. The jury selected Lantink in November 2024. He spent the prize money on his 'Duranimal' show, which was presented last March during Paris Fashion Week.
Lantink is a Dutch fashion designer known for his avant-garde and sustainable designs. He began his career by upcycling vintage and unsold garments from luxury brands, creating unique, reconstructed pieces. His work has received international recognition, with celebrities such as Beyoncé, Doja Cat and Janelle Monáe wearing his creations. In 2024, Lantink received the Karl Lagerfeld Special Jury Prize from LVMH, and in 2025 he won the International Woolmark Prize. In April 2025, the designer was appointed creative director of the French fashion house Jean Paul Gaultier.
Cultuurfonds director, Cathelijne Broers, responded: 'Duran Lantink is a fashion designer and artist of global stature. His experimental, sustainable upcycling and socially critical designs dress both celebrities, like Beyoncé, and vulnerable trans women in South Africa. This makes him an inspiring role model in the fashion industry and the ideal winner of the Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium. I am delighted that the prize has been a springboard to Paris. Congratulations, Duran!'
Dutch Fashion Foundation director, Angélique Westerhof, added: 'Duran Lantink has already been widely praised internationally with words such as rebel, visionary, non-conformist, a fearless original, and all this with that one important ingredient: humour. In five years, he has managed to develop on Dutch soil into the creative comet that is now breaking through international barriers and may shine in Paris as the new énfant terrible at a legendary fashion house. The presentation of the fourteenth Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium was a celebration for intimates, a wonderful look back at and celebration of his impressive oeuvre. As the latest standard-bearer of Dutch fashion, Duran Lantink does his predecessors credit.'
Lantink, recipient of the 14th Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium, responded gratefully: 'I am extremely grateful for the award of the Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium; it is a great support for me and my team. You really need that support to make an impact at the level of Paris Fashion Week. Apart from that, the celebration of the award means a lot to me, to celebrate together with everyone who has contributed to my adventure - my dream - that it has succeeded! Making an impact, it is possible!'
To mark the award, work by Lantink can be seen in the online Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium Virtual Gallery from Thursday, May 8. About Cultuurfonds Mode Stipendium

Liverpool stars rally around Ryan Gravenberch as team-mate and partner issue family update
Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch and his partner Cindy Peroti have shared a new family update after the couple welcomed their first child into the world Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch and his partner, Cindy Peroti, have shared a touching family announcement, revealing the birth of their first child. The 23 year old hasn't appeared in competitive action for Arne Slot's squad in 2025/26 despite playing a crucial part in securing the Premier League crown last season. Gravenberch was perhaps the standout performer of the previous campaign as he thrived in a holding midfield position, featuring in 37 of 38 Premier League fixtures during Slot's debut term at Anfield. Nevertheless, the Netherlands international was missing from the Liverpool team that suffered defeat to Crystal Palace in the Community Shield as his partner, Cindy Peroti, had delivered their first baby the evening before the match at Wembley. He subsequently completed a ban that rolled over from last season for Friday's Premier League curtain-raiser against Bournemouth. This enabled Gravenberch to dedicate additional time to his expanding family - and now he and Peroti have posted their inaugural social media message since bringing their child into the world. Instagram post on Monday evening. The touching announcement has garnered considerable interest from Liverpool colleagues, their partners and fellow members of the football world. Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley and Dominik Szoboszlai all expressed their delight with heart-eyed emojis under the post. The Hungarian star, who became a father for the first time with wife Borka Buszik earlier this summer, knows all too well the joy of such a family milestone. Curtis Jones, another new dad in the Liverpool squad since last October, also showed his love with a heart emoji on Gravenberch's post. His fiancee Saffie Khan chimed in with: "Perfect [pink heart emoji]." Cody Gakpo gave the post a thumbs up, while his partner Noa van der Bij shared her affection with a pink heart emoji. Liverpool stars Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister, Stefan Bajcetic, Jeremie Frimpong, Andy Robertson, Vitezslav Jaros, Milos Kerkez, Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott, Ibrahima Konate and James McConnell also liked the post, showing their support for the midfielder and his partner. Former Liverpool players Ryan Babel and Gini Wijnaldum, along with Dutch internationals Jorrel Hato, Noa Lang and Justin Kluivert, also interacted with the family update from Gravenberch. Gravenberch will have to wait another week before he can get back into action for the new season, but having served his one-game ban, he's set to return to the Liverpool squad for the upcoming trip to Newcastle United.
