Botter might only just have graduated (in Antwerp at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten), there’s no stopping him. After having showed at New York Fashion Week last year he presented his graduation collection, which already made him win five different Belgian awards, in Amsterdam today. Tropical vibes and Sting’s song Fragile from the speakers and Botter’s men appeared, ready to make a statement. Inflatable fish and multiple caps on their heads, fishnet tied around their arms and tossed over their bodies, a Shell logo at sight and you too can do the math. Botter’s message was about polluted oceans and beaches. And even though this political message was loud the designer’s vision on fashion spoke out too. It was that of oversized suits, sweaters, stripes and beautifully mixed colors.
Togo born print designer Sophia Bentoh presented her eclectic new collection this afternoon. A mix of kaleidoscopic designs styled in the most fun (large jewelry, sunglasses, headscarfs, crowns, dr. Martens and out of the box bags) way. A show both rhythmic and ethnic that felt refreshing, original and fun. Ibileye presents layered prints and pieces for both women and men, for city nomads who dare to stand out with mixed colours and patterns. And these designs will do just that.

The Sunanda Chandry Koning spoke more of gender blending than of new clothing styles for next summer. The show images say it all.
Whether they’re sending import e-mails or just aimlessly scrolling through our Instagram feed; today’s streetstyle stars won’t go anywhere without their phones. And it so happens that looking busy (while just passing time waiting for the next show) makes for such a cool streetwear image. Being on the phone (a trend for sure) won’t go out of style any time soon.
These pictures were taken during last month’s menswear Paris Fashion Week.
We’ve taken the Thalys back home again. Paris Fashion Week is a wrap. And what a week it was. A week filled with headlines and highlights. Ranging from genderbleding updates and power couple front row attendees (Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade) to the release of Drake’s new song ‘Signs’ during the Louis Vuitton Show. And from Dutch male model Sven de Vries making a name for himself (having walked 94 shows this season) to the absence of Givenchy and Saint Laurent. But of course we’re most concerned with the new collections and certain trends we can already look forward to for next year. From stacked up shoes and XL belts to eighties vibes, logomania and more. Let’s take a look at those, while we recap Paris Fashion Week Menswear SS2018.

Our own fashiondictionary Stevie Wonder Collection Means: not good! Whenever you see a collection and you run out of words to describe how bad it was, you call it a Stevie Wonder Collection. It's just a nice way to say the collection sucks.
