Outsider at AIFW SS2012, part 2
Photographer Nick Helderman is new to the world of fashion. He knows his way quite well in the music-scene, but is still an outsider to the wonderful, glamorous, intoxicating, exaggerated world of fashion. Peter Stigter invited his talented colleague to experience the Amsterdam International Fashion Week and try to capture his vision in images. Today, part two.
Nick Helderman lives in Amsterdam. He published in Het Parool, Glamcult and OOR. In 2010 he was nominated for the Popview/Lex van Rossen Award. You can look at his portfolio here.
Edith & Ella Backstage at AIFW SS2012
The backstage-setting at Edith & Ella was as colorful as the show. Hair and beauty reminded us of the good old Brigitte Bardot-days, French, feminie and a bit naughty.

This was Day 4 of Amsterdam International Fashion Week edition SS2012. Highlights of yesterday were the Frank-show which turned out to be a guerilla-action of Zeeman, the Quoc Thang show and the cheerful show of the Danish label Edith & Ella. It was also the day that the Green Fashion Competition took off.
Quoc Thang Backstage at AIFW SS2012
Even men need to be powdered now and then. The backpackers and travellers that inspired Quoc Thang for his fall collection were symolised by shimmering powder and sandblown hair.
FRANK by Zeeman Backstage AIFW SS2012
The make up at the show of Frank was colorful, with bright colors like red and yellow at eyelids and nails, while lips were kept neutral. Take a look backstage.

Luckily for Alexia van Engelen, designer of Sage & Ivy, the sun was out all day yesterday. And it helped to create a wonderful setting for her show, that was held at the Spartelvijver near the AIFW venue. The audience was seated next to the pond and had a great view on the stage, the water and the show. Backstage the atmosphere was relaxed, while the team of House of Orange transformed the models into mysterious waternymphs.
Frans Molenaar Prijs 2011 Backstage – AIFW SS2012
Hairdressers creating the most chic or extravagant haircuts and make-up artists making the most beautiful red lips. Backstage at the Frans Molenaar Show was a little hectic, because there were six different designers showing their collections, which meant a lot of models that needed to be dressed. But it all worked out really well and everyone looked shiny and happy.
