The women are dressed in amazing quality clothes by top designers, in period costumes or vintage clothes, or wrapped in stunning and luxurious fabrics. To date, over 400 women worldwide have participated in Van de Puttelaar's project,and the series continues to grow and has become an important document of the present time of women in the art world.
