Francisco van Benthum SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week
Scuba-diving and the underwaterworld, both prints and materials inspired Francisco van Benthum for his collection ‘Marlin’. Not too literal though. He presented looks to manipulate the silhouet. Series of certain fashion pieces, like the menswear shirt shown in five different ways (as a blouson, jacket, statement buy online viagra shirt and even a coat). Other clothes showed the ability of “morphing”, like an oversized pair of pleated pants that can be worn in many different ways. Materials were comfortable and summer proof. Neopreen, the ultimate scuba fabric, was used as more of a jersey for several sportive coats. Black and white prints popped up alternated with an outerspace-like blue and purple version that really brought some of the black, grey and green looks to live. Lots of Van Benthum fans in the room, so there’s no doubt this collection will do well.
Melissa Siegrist SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week
Melissa Siegrist’s boys were all ready to hop on the baseball field, or at least look pretty on the sideline. They sported striped and uni colored shorts, baseball jackets and shirts worn underneath T-shirts. Everything had a fifties vintage touch, inspired by legends like Joe DiMaggio and Babe Ruth. Designs, made out of linen and cotton looked effortless and comfortable. Nothing too crazy, never trying too hard; this was just a beautifully made, perfectly fitting menswear collection. Plus, the live trumpet player and DJ made Melissa’s forth AFW show into a fun, inspirational Monday afternoon event.
Mevan Kaluarachchi SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week
Willem de Kooning Academy graduate (in 2005) Mevan Kaluarachchi presented himself for the first time today during Amsterdam fashion week. The range of menswear items he showed – named Wardrobe – was not just a SS2014 collection, but included looks for both summer and winter. Pieces for all seasons, so to say. From shorts and tees to jersey pants and trenchcoats. Sloughy shirts had special buttons or collars and were longer in the back than in the front. Most of them were loose and airy, even sheer almost. The color palette was a perfect fix of shades suitable for menswear; from red and turquoise to grey and navy. Colors that can be worn all year round, like the clothes that, according to Mevan, are qualitative, comfortable and will last. His creations are meant to stay, let’s hope Mevan is a keeper too!
Franzel + Armand Michiels SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week
Franzel Amsterdam
Eric Franzel made his Amsterdam Fashion Week debut today and presented his small, but strong Franzel collection inspired by the Golden Age. Dark models with partly black painted faces showed minimalistic looks which formed a combination of classic menswear and sportswear influences. Lots of black, white and navy formed the not too summer-y collection. Blouses and shorts looked simple and modern, worn with tights and trench coats. Countless zippers, quilted details and a touch of red on the models’ sneakers kept things interesting. A tough looking girl, fully dressed in black with a big white Franzel logo on her back closed the show. Nice introduction Franzel, see you next season?!
Armand Michiels
Six models with Dior couture-like make-up and hair all appeared on stage together at Armand Michiels. They wore long navy blye clocks and were turned with their back towards the audience. One by one they dropped their cloaks, turned around and showed what they were really wearing. A mix of denim and corsets, so it seemed. Geisha-inspired corset tops (for all kind of different occasions) in different shades with sculptural origami details in the front, laces at the back and color coordinated jeans or shorts, plus platform heels to go! We’re not exactely sure in which category Armand belongs; but it was an interesting mix of casual and couture.

Thom Browne Menswear Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2013
While blindfolded models hammering on a wooden construction formed the backdrop of Thom Browne’s fashion show, his walking models appeared from behind. The fact that they wore checked skirts and dress like designs could have been enough to keep us press interested. Yet Browne added an extra dimension to his looks, making them unique yet unwearable. His grey flannel suits, his cross printed vest, his checked pants and illusionist coat; they were all done in a boxy style. The effect of the square fits and the super stiff shoulders was even amplified by his square hats, rectangular sunglasses and geometric suitcases. Let’s hope Browne hat some real boxes hidden underneath his designs, so that when he removes those, he can actually sell some of these fall/winter creations.
