Oilily Amsterdam Fashion Week Fall 2016

Different is beautiful if you ask Oilily. On Sunday night the Dutch fashion brand presented it’s fall/winter collection for next year, inspired by ethnic diversity. Diverse cultures, habits and preferences were translated into a bright colored feel good show. The upbeat collection was divided into three themes, a fresh take on the seventies, sportive luxury and a beautifully colored (in greens, reds and blues) selection. Each look worn with an optimistic and comfortable vibe. From the rainbow-colored co-ord to the Kimono inspired, belted and floral printed dress. Oilily might already be around for a while, there were lots of surprises throughout the collection. Color clashes (red and pink in the mix), material mixes (mohair and jacquard in one look), style clashes (a graphic printed woolen coat over a floral baby doll dress) and styling novelties (pleated pants, suspenders and chunky scarfs). Different and beautiful. And then there was a finally in which three drummers jammed along with DJ’s Sander Stenger and Joost van Bellen. A definite joyful experience, that had us all leaving with a smile and a note to ourselves to start wearing more color.
