There’s hope guys – Francisco van Benthum

There’s really hope for all those young men searching for great, modern clothes! Francisco van Benthum – for the first time showing under his own name instead of  WOLF – presented a very mature yet cool menswear-collection inspired by Dutch fishermen and sailors. HOPE is the theme of his new autumn/winter ’08-’09 collection, and it seems this guy is ready for his international debut in Milan.  Highlights: razorsharp suits. beautifully soft knitwear, airy coats and a great mix between sportswear and uniforms.

Celebration – Orson + Bodil

Alexander van Slobbe celebates 20 years in fashion this year. Not only with a book and exhibition but also with a beautiful wintercollection full of (reworked) classic Orson + Bodil designs. Simplicity reigns at van Slobbe and all outfits have that  hint of luxury couture. Highlights: a black dress with nude-colored collar, full skirts and embroidered voile partydresses.
