Fashion is vaporized

After a week of hard work and great shows the fashion-circus is leaving again. What’s left are good memories and the left-overs of parties and presentations. Bye Amsterdam Fashion Week, we’ll be back in july!

Next stop for Team Peter Stigter is New York Fashion Week fall/winter 2011  and we will keep you posted on what’s happening there. See you soon and thanks for all the enthusiastic support.

Peter Stigter aan de Muur at Margreeth Olsthoorn

Until january 12th 2011 the designer store of Margreeth Olsthoorn in Rotterdam presents some wonderful and special fashion-photos of Peter Stigter aan de Muur, the charity-project of Peter Stigter. While you are looking for some great items on sale in the store (the lovely Margreeth Olsthoorn sells Margiela, Chalayan, Vibskov, Klavers van Engelen, Spijkers & Spijkers and Acne) you can pop in to pictures of Jean Paul Gaultier’s Madonna’s, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Givenchy. Margreeth Olsthoorn already fell in love with the Finale of Sonia Rykiels anniversary-show, the photo that’s presented behind her desk.

ZOOM, eyes on Dutch fashion

Curious about Dutch fifty years of Dutch fashion-photography? The exhibition of Ferry van der Nat, ZOOM, eyes on Dutch Fashion, is still present in The Hague. Its a small presentation but it gives a good representative view on how strong, special and typical Dutch fashion photography is.

Dutch designers, photographers, beauty-artists, stylists and model choose their favorites and the result is a good mix of old and new work, classic, modern and avantgarde. Besides the photos there’s a little shop with vintage clothes and  new work of young, Dutch talents. Designer Ted Noten is present with his latest project Haunted by 36 women.

A great location to visit while shopping in The Hague.

Jil Sander Catwalk Fashion Show SS2011

Set in an old park in the hills of Florence, Raf Simons sent out an energetic menswear-collection for Jil Sander thanks to the beautiful bright colors and vibrating stripes. I watched the Web stream – but even without being there the clothes looked crispy and clean and very upbeat. Color was the message, without trying too hard. They worked best when mixed together, like orange pants with a turquoise sweater or a purple coat mixed with pink, turquoise and nightblue. The patterns were surprising too, especially the multi-colored stripes that made a psychedelic effect and will definitely be adapted in the fast fashion-collections. Softer were the flowerprints, that gave a particular touch to the vibrant color-blocking.

The collection consisted of shorts (as seen in many other collections), casual jackets, shirts, trenchcoats and belts which gave  it all a sporty touch. Nice details: the reflecting spots at the back of jackets and the colored soles of the shoes.

Let’s hope men will catch up with it, at least with a  colorful shirt or coat – it will definitely make the sun come out.
