Trees Himpe-Depuydt
As the founder of A-Fashionada, Trees Himpe-Depuydt operates on the belief that fashion should “make you think and make you tick.” For her, fashion is a universal medium—a powerful tool for empathic engagement and an essential voice in the wider cultural conversation. She approaches her work by observing, questioning, and interpreting industry evolutions to identify the specific strategic needs of her clients.
In her wide-ranging work as a mentor, writer, curator, and stylist, Himpe-Depuydt prefers to “come at projects sideways.” By participating from the sidelines, she handles the heavy lifting of research and background coordination that creative projects often require. With a passion for cutting-edge changemakers, she focuses on bringing people together to support students, emerging designers, and international artists in the U.S. Whether she is exchanging ideas on fashion history or consulting on sustainability and PR, Himpe-Depuydt brings deep expertise and “goodness” to the table, and is always ready to be challenged.
