Aziz Bekkaoui’s fashion show was the closing ‘act’ of tonight’s opening ceremony. The artist and designer, who has his roots in Morocco, treated us to a grande fashion spectacle – named Images Rule – that never seemed to end. “An homage to diversity”, as he stated in his show notes. A selection of soldiers dressed in black opened the show, marching to the beats of Fight the Power. Dark designs followed in a mix of materials like leather, lace and fur. Both men and women paraded in the show, yet their ensembles weren’t all that different for most of the part. Strong silhouettes, mix of textures and Bekkaoui’s eye for detail came through in all of the creations. Some looked modernly clean, others were richer, more accessorized and therefore appeared more classic. Enormous fur bags, high collars, long gloves and heavy head pieces made it a true f/w collection. No worries if next winter will be freezing cold; with Bekkaoui’s collection we’ll have plenty of warm pieces to choose from.

The first edition of the official Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam kicked off with Mattijs van Bergen presenting his fall/winter 2014 collection ‘Complementair’. Dutch (pregnant) actrice and longtime muse of Mattijs Jolanda van Berg opened the show by singing an a capella version of Starry, starry night by Don Mclean. Then from a gorgeous colored backdrop – inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s use of color – Mattijs’ models (with heavy, bright colored make-up on) slowly appeared, trees and falling leaves completed the setting. In collaboration with the Van Gogh museum Mattijs came up with a somewhat romantic, bright colored collection throughout which digital prints of Van Gogh’s work could be seen. On an extravagant, long evening gown or used, literally, as a kaleidoscopic all over print. The Dutch paintings could be seen more abstractly in just the use of colors (from his first dark works till the more explosively colored pieces of art). In between all the art references Mattijs’ signature could be seen, like in pleated skirts and jackets, duo colored pieces with graphic parts, metallic details and butterfly jewelry. New were the knitwear items combined with comfy pleated day-wear pants, which both appeared refreshing and seemed to be perfect commercial assets to Mattijs’ autumn ’14 collection.

For his ss2014-collection Mattijs van Bergen tried to find a more simple silhouette and a new clear design. It is his answer to the spirit of today, which asks for more buy levitra online creative freedom and optimism. Japanese silhouettes and the clear style of Bauhaus inspired him. Origami, kimono-styles and graphic prints define the silhouette of his collection. The result is a collection in soft, romantic colors that remind of cherry-blossom or more harsh colors in rich materials.
Sometimes fabrics clash as do prints and colors. All in all this was an interesting collection of Mattijs which showed his sensible eye and love for fabric and form.

SIS by Spijkers en Spijkers SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week

No doubt about it; Spijkers en Spijkers took us straight to summer 2014 with their vibrant beach-y collection. From a background of moving waves young models with messy beach hair followed each other in the (what seemed like a) never ending show. Playful skirts, loose blouses, wide dresses and high waisted pants brought us on a trip to the French Riviera. Girls looked sweet and cheerful, like a young Brigitte Bardot (when she was still a brunette), yet never too sexy for the SIS brand. They sported stripes and checks in classic shades of red, white and blue. Small belts and beaded necklaces added a colorful touch, while floral prints and bright organza fabrics revived the show towards the end. Forget hot summer destinations like Ibiza and Mykonos, next year Côte d’Azur it is!
