Ready to Fish Backstage AIFW FW2011

The hair and colorful make up took some time to get ready backstage at Ready to Fish, the ready to wear-collection of Ilja Visser. Especially the braiding and curling, but the result was stunning and playful. The curly hair fitted perfectly with the theme of the collection.

Tony Cohen Catwalk Fashion Show FW2011

Tony Cohen usually shows his collections in New York. Not this season; as his show was part of the Amsterdam Fashion Week. He did bring some international allure to Amsterdam though; he hired topmodel Kim Noorda to open the show.

His collection was inspired by classic sixties couture and did indeed appear very luxurious. Tony used rich materials like silk, poly crepe and chiffon, mixed with typical winter fabrics like wool, cashmere and lambskin.

The tops and dresses all were very richly embroidered and looked very shiny. Tony also used a lot of draping and pleating in his designs. Therefore the designs didn’t look very tight.

As one of the few designers this week Tony Cohen showed some very good winter designs. Especially his coats (a black wool kimono, a nude lambskin, a pleated overcoat) looked warm and comfy.

The jewelry could have been a little more subtle, but altogether the collection looked lovely.

Tony Cohen Backstage AIFW FW2011

It was busy backstage at Tony Cohen. Was it because two famous models were part of the show? Internationals Kim Feenstra and Kim Noorda walked the runway and showed their colleagues how to do that properly. Make up and hair had a glamourous yet edgy touch, and again we saw big braids – this time tied into a knot.

Lots of Dutch celebs spent their free afternoon at the show of Addy van den Krommenacker. It makes sense because he’s one of the favourite designers tv- and film-stars turn to for a glamorous eveningdress.  Most of his fans showed up at the show and cheered during the finale.

Marloes Blaas presented a strong and balanced collection. Backstage the details of her clothes were better visible and surprising. The fabrics with prints of roadmaps were wonderful as were the recycled militairy workwear.
