Dutch fashion designer Eleonore de Ruuk (1981) graduated at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute in 2004. After internships in London and Paris with well known fashion designers like Sophia Kokosalaki and Martine Sitbon she decided it was time to start her own label “Eleonore de Ruuk” in 2006.
Her style can be described best as a distinguished mix of streetwear and highfashion. Her trademark are hoods, which she combines in original ways, such as her hooded backpack. Her hoods, graphic shapes, prints and the use of sportive fabrics contribute to a relax street feeling. This combined with the subtle use of more elegant fabrics and shapes give her style a unique handwriting.
Recently her designs were seen on TV worn by finalists Angelo and Louis from ‘So you think you can dance’. She was also invited to be one of the jury members at Kunstbende Amsterdam 2010.

Besides that the label was selected by Amanda Lepore for the London based webshop NOTJUSTALABEL. Previously she was selected as one of the 25 fashion labels worldwide to be presented by Projekt Galerie showrooms in Berlin.
Eleonore de Ruuk won the “Ispo Brandnew Style Award” 2008 in Munich, because of her highly innovative and individualistic style. With this award she won a stand at the biggest sports fair in the world; The “Ispo” in Munich. In 2009 she was nominated for the ‘Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany’.
Besides that she has also showed her work during fairs like Bread & Butter in Barcelona, Margin in London, Modefabriek in Amsterdam and fashionshows during Amsterdam International Fashionweek, in New York with NYC against HIV, in Wuhan/China with the Arnhem Fashion Factory, Streetlab, Invito Invites You, Freedesigndom and has collaborated with dance group Street4one who won the NK Hiphop 2009.
