History
In 1999 started as a fashion store under the name Studio/Galerie DVDV.
In 2000 it became NO (NieuweOntwerpers.nl), a foundation. An initiative of designers Van der Vlies and Koers. For thirteen years they promoted young new started designers and sold these collections. This was a household name nationally, as they were the first in the Netherlands with this unique concept.
After 11 years, time for a change. The store was provided with a new concept, 14 owners/designers united in a foundation, under the name concept|NO|store. Unfortunately, the entrepreneurial spirit of the individual designers did not materialize and after 2 years this concept was stopped.
In March 2013, the designers, Dick van der Vlies and Henk Koers, took over the store under the name “van der vlies & koers”. They design, produce, present and sell their own collections:
