Individuals Backstage AIFW FW2011

Individuals showed its fall 2011 collection titled La Petite Mort. Backstage the beauty and styling-team transformed the models into catwalkbeauties.

Roparosa & Bravoure Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam FW2011

The second day of the Amsterdam Fashion Week started with two small shows. One by Roparosa and the other by Bravoure

Roparosa showed a collection in which all design lines emanated from the middle of the models’ bodies. Therefore they all had the feeling of a radiating star contained within the garments. It felt very sporty chic as form fitted items were combined with graphic lines and loose cuts made of comfortable materials. We saw loose fitting designs in shades like black, deep red, blue and nude. Nicely done and very wearable!

After Roparosa young fashion label Bravoure took over the runway with their Tribal chich collection. Models with feather head pieces appeared on a catwalk full of smoke. Designers Patricia Hofstede and Kim Jansen created black designs with lots of draping, pleats and colorful beads. The creations had wide sleeves and fringes too. Art deco meets Hiawatha?

Amsterdam International Fashion Week Preview: Tony Cohen FW2011

Tony Cohen usually presents his new collection during New York Fashion Week, yet this year he decided to give a fashion show in Amsterdam. ‘One of the new owners of the Amsterdam International Fashion Week is a friend of mine, that’s the main reason I will be present. I also think it will be great for my friends and family to finally attend one of my shows’, Tony told us.

His new collection was inspired by the couture of the sixties. ‘Especially some of my new jackets were inspired by that period. Yet we also looked at Gugenheim for all the different materials and textures. You’ll definitely see those textures in the collection too, as well as very fluent shapes.’

While Tony usually works a lot with asymmetry in his collections, that’s not the case right now. ‘The silhouette is very clean and straight this time, therefore the collection feels more classic than usual, yet it still has a very modern twist.’

Tony used a lot of ‘muted tones’ for fall, like black, grey, taupe, red, deep purple, gold and copper. His fabrics range from wool to silk, lammy, leather, Japanese polyester and handmade fabrics. The music for Tony’s show will be a mix of music by Thom Yorke, Massive Attack and God is an Astronaut.

‘We still have to do a lot of work. Many designs of the 30 looks have handmade details like embroideries and handmade pleats, so they take some time. If I had to describe the collection in one word I would therefore call it detailed’, Tony says.

With one week left till the fashion show and still a lot of activities abroad Tony already predicts he’ll be working the night before the show: ‘We only start putting everything together next Saturday, so it will be hectic, but fun.’
