Marcel "Marco" van Basten (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmɑrkoː vɑn ˈbɑstə(n)] (listen); born 31 October 1964) is a Dutch football manager and former professional player,


who played for Ajax and A.C. Milan, as well as the Netherlands national team, as a striker. He is regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. He scored 300 goals in a high-profile career, but played his last match in 1993 at age 28 due to an injury which forced his retirement two years later. He was later the head coach of Ajax and the Netherlands national team.

Known for his close ball control, attacking intelligence, impeccable headers, and spectacular strikes and volleys, Van Basten was named FIFA World Player of the Year in 1992 and won the Ballon d'Or three times, in 1988, 1989 and 1992. At club level, he won three Eredivisie titles and the Cup Winners' Cup with Ajax, and four Serie A titles and three European Cups with Milan. With the Netherlands, Van Basten won UEFA Euro 1988 where he earned the Golden Boot, scoring five goals, including a memorable volley in the final against the Soviet Union.

In 1998, Van Basten was ranked sixth in the FIFA Player of the Century internet poll, tenth in the European player of the Century election held by the IFFHS and 12th in the IFFHS' World Player of the Century election. He was also voted eighth in a poll organised by the French magazine France Football, consulting their former Ballon d'Or winners to elect the Football Player of the Century. In 2004, he was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players. In 2004, a poll for the 100 greatest Dutch people was held in the Netherlands: Van Basten ranked number 25, the second highest for a football player, behind Johan Cruyff. In 2007, Sky Sports ranked Van Basten first on its list of great athletes who had their careers cut short.Van Basten's talent was already noticed at a young age and he was called up for the 1983 FIFA World Youth Championship. He made his senior debut for the Netherlands national team


that same year. His team-mates in the national team were all teenagers themselves Ruud Gullit, Gerald Vanenburg, Ronald Koeman and Frank Rijkaard as Holland was desperate to reclaim the success of the Cruyff generation in the 1970's. At UEFA Euro 1988, Van Basten played a pivotal role in the Dutch team's victorious campaign. He scored a total of five goals, including a hat trick against England in the first round, the winning goal in the semi-final against West Germany, and a spectacular volley from an acute angle in the 2–0 final against the Soviet Union, during which he also provided the assist for Gullit's opening goal. He finished the competition as the top scorer and was named player of the tournament. In a 2002 UK poll Van Basten's volley against the Soviet Union was ranked #21 in the list of the 100 Greatest Sporting Moments.

The Dutch national team exited the 1990 World Cup early, losing to West Germany in the second round. Van Basten never scored in the World Cup finals. At UEFA Euro 1992, the Netherlands defeated reigning World Champions Germany 3–1 in the first round to top their group and reach the semi-finals, where they shockingly lost to the eventual champions Denmark in a penalty shootout, with Peter Schmeichel saving a penalty shot from Van Basten. Van Basten was named to the European Championship Player Of The Tournament for a second time in 1992.

A Romantic Hypothesis Runway Couture & RTW 2024

A Romantic Hypothesis Runway Couture & RTW 2024 Over time, the practice of patterning evolved to encompass a hierarchical approach, serving as a fundamental template for the creation of garments. Initially, patterning was primarily geared towards the production of utilitarian attire for ordinary households, while those with considerable means leveraged it to imbue their personal style with opulence. With the continuous advancements in technology and the availability of resources, the commercial aspects of patterning have substantially streamlined, relegating its artisanal aspects to relative obscurity. In this transformation, the discerning eye of fashion consumers shifted away from appreciating craftsmanship, gravitating more towards the innovative and artistic direction set by brands. Patterns serve as crucial visual representations, illustrating the precise construction methods for various items. The responsibility of the pattern drafter lies in ensuring that these drawings are not only comprehensible but also faithfully represent the pertinent information, a task demanding a combination of technical expertise and creative acumen. Patterning is a complex process that unfolds on a two-dimensional canvas, comprising a network of lines and curves, meticulously guiding the transformation of these flat templates into intricate three-dimensional garments. This architectural approach to fashion design is pivotal in ensuring that garments conform seamlessly to the wearer’s physique. Patterning, in itself, is a highly skilled art, demanding a mastery of technical expertise.The journey from a rudimentary sketch to the final realization of a garment follows a well-defined pipeline. The initial concept takes shape through a preliminary sketch, eventually evolving into a meticulously drafted pattern. Throughout this intricate journey, there exists a captivating interplay of abstraction. While one can envision the design taking form, the garment remains, as yet, an unrealized vision. The transition from conceptual design to the drafting phase significantly influences how the final garment will manifest. Creative patterning is the position that allows a design to achieve its highest potential. It deftly weaves together the realms of abstraction and tangible design, navigating the fine line between what appears to be present and what is yet to be materialized. In this process, the alphanumeric pattern paper serves as both a void and a blueprint—a blank canvas awaiting the design’s manifestation. Detaching a vital element of a garment and leaving it bare. The garments emerge from this abstract void, seamlessly adorning the body. This progression encapsulates the stages a design undergoes, bypassing the final product stage. It underscores the absence of incompleteness in the initial collection, underscoring the indispensable and symbiotic relationship between the designer and the pattern maker. Romanticizing with the concept of abstraction and what is tangible by hypothesizing, until it is bestowed upon us.
