By Brown SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week

Models with soaking wet hair and a touch of turquoise underneath their eyes paraded the By Brown (Brown clothes before) catwalk on Saturday evening. They seemed to have just walked out of the sea, onto the beach on a hot summer day. A day perfect for pairing airy dresses and summer knits. A day for asymmetrical slouchy pants and pleated. Touches of leather and fiercely accentuated shoulders for later on. Whites, sandy tones and hints of aqua and yellow added to the summery feeling of the show. Some of the pieces of the RESTLESS SYMMETRY collection might never end up in a ‘real woman’s wardrobe’, but there were plenty of elegant wearable pieces (a designing skill designer Melanie Brown developed while working at Stills) that would. It was Browns first big fashion week show in Amsterdam and she certainly left her mark.

Mevan Kaluarachchi SS2015 Amsterdam Fashion Week

Fresh faced male models walked the runway at Mevan Kaluarachchi’s show this week. They sported the young Sri Lanka born designer’s perfectly tailored collection, which contained just about every piece a man needs during summer time. Like sand colored shorts, denim shorts and even light blue colored shiny shorts. Like slouchy striped pants and narrow pleated pants. Like (slightly transparent) white Tees and longsleeves. Like a cardigan with a baseball fit and a sportive checked jacket with leather details. Like short leather jackets, denim jumpsuits and shiny hooded jackets. Like duo colored sleeveless tops and white shirts. Like a decent leather bag, a cool pair of sunglasses and some casual sandals, all given the Mevan twist.

Fashion Week Amsterdam SS2015, this was Day 2

Winner of this years edition is Bastian Visch from The Academy of Arts in The Hague. And of course lots of visitors enjoyed themselves outside in the sun.

FashionWeek Amsterdam FW2014, this was Day 4

The fifth day of Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam brought us the impressive l’Oreal Professionel Hair Show, the poetic presentations/catwalkshows of Winde Rienstra, Dorhout Mees and Rebecca Ward plus the new fall-collection of Tony Cohen.

Esther Dorhout-Mees Fashion Week Amsterdam FW2014

Esther Dorhout Mees showed her seventh collection at Fashion Week Amsterdam. The collection ‘Passage’ consists of powerful designer pieces with organic forms in contrast with sharply hard contours. The underlying inspiration is the parallel with our human life. Mees merges apparent contradictions in a perfect symbiosis. Smooth and shiny fabrics are gracefully combined with rough textures. Even cracks in trees are reflected in the pattern pieces. The clean, straight lines of pants and tops contrast with voluminous folds and flowing dresses. In the knitwear we see this vulnerability and strength woven into each piece.

FashionWeek Amsterdam FW2014, this was Day 3

The third day of Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam was a day full of surprises and different shows, from te madness of MaryMe JimmyPaul tot the slick menswear of Jonathan Christopher Homme. After an interesting show full of futuristic shoes the Clarks Shoe design Award 2014 went to Janine van den Bosch. Two more day to go!

MaryMe JimmyPaul Fashion Week Amsterdam FW2014

As fog appeared from the sides of the runway and plastic bags whirled all over it the first MaryMe Jimmy Paul a white and gold winter princess (Valentijn de Hingh) made her way onto it. She wore a structured, quilted golden dress, a white furry coat and sneakers. In each of her hands she carried a plastic bag filled with what looked like boiling nitrogen. The idea behind the smoke everywhere? E-cigarette brand Jiksu was the sponsor of the whole event. They made it possible for MaryMe Jimmy Paul to introduce their sporty, stiff sweaters and bring on their fluffy, fur skirts. Their colorful hooded coats, their full on printed and very colorful ensembles, their ripped leather pants and their short haired motor jackets. Not to mention the leather gloves, the black wigs and the sheer backpacks that completed the party. Who the two geniuses behind this all are, we will never really know. Like at their previous fashion show the label’s founders decided not to make an appearance or take a simple bow at the end of the show. Instead their PR ladies walked the runway and gladly took the big applause on their behalf.
