Tess van Zalinge Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam Fashion Week

Oversized suits meet lingerie; Friday night Tess van Zalinge treated us to her collection filled with Dutch history. Tess collaborated with Royal Delft, which lead to Delfts Blauw and The girl with the pearl earring influences being visible throughout the collection. A collection which formed a certain clash between what is functional and what is sensual. And so we saw the tightest body suits and sheer white tops come down the runway as well as a floor sweeping coat and structured jackets. Knitting, folding, weaving and laser cutting were some of the techniques used for this collection. Beautiful were the origami style peplums, especially a royal blue one paired with some wide legged pants looked strong and contemporary. Designs were covered in some exclusive Delfts Blauw prints and a faded marble print. Prints that formed the base of the collection’s color palette of blues and whites. From simple tops and blouses to skirts, dressed up pants, body suits and dream dresses; this collection had all the right ingredients. Items the audience is able to already buy, since Tess van Zalinge is – in line with the see now buy now trend – already selling her collection at X-Bank in Amsterdam. Go get it while it’s hot!
