On the last day of AFW Alexandra Frida, founded in Cuba, was one of the largest LAB shows this week. Designer Alexandra Vollebregt made sure to leave an impression with her ANNA collection. Having lived in Zaire and Nigeria colorful and cultural influences from these countries were visible throughout her collection. And having interned at Bas Kosters, who convinced Alexandra to graduate with a runway collection, might have something to do with the colorfulness and positivity of today’s show as well. During her study at AMFI Alexandra specialized in trend forecasting, textile and print design. Skills, which she showcased through her iconic bright mirrored feather prints, rich fabrics and soft shades. Lots of co-ords, cropped tops, maxi-dresses, knee high skirts, bombers, sneakers, colorful socks, 3D nail art and half buns gave the collecton it’s young and trendy touch. A collection filled with outspoken, original designs that will make anyone recognize a Alexandra Frida piece from a far distance. And any girl or woman who isn’t into full on printed outfits can match her printed pieces with all black tops or bottoms, preferably in leather, if it’s up to Alexandra. Either way no one can be underdressed wearing a piece from this ANNA collection.
Our own fashiondictionary Koblenko’s Camera’s love them, they always come in pairs. These are spherical photographic lights which produce a refined light very much appreciated by high end photographers. They are named after a Russian physician who almost won the Nobel-prize for Physics in 1956.
