Victoria Beckham Catwalk Fashion Show New York SS2012

Though the press seemed to like her intimate presentations in the past Victoria Beckham has moved on. On Sunday she held her first big runway show at which she sat front row herself.

Halfway the show it became clear Posh had turned into Sporty Spice showing structured hoodies and loose fitting shiny vests. Her light-colored summer dresses seemed fit for a game of tennis and even the Louboutin shoes looked comfortable.

But apart from the sporty designs there were also still a lot of elegant dresses VB’s celebrity friends would love to wear to some fancy party. A body accentuating navy and orange dress, worn by Dutchie Daphne Groeneveld, will look swell on both Eva Longoria and Katie Holmes. And a black tanktop dress could be great for Kate Winslet or Oprah.

Victoria’s collection is not only great on it’s own, it also fits in with the overall sporty vibe we’re getting from New York Fashion Week so far. We’re curious what Victoria’s second line Victoria by Vitocria Beckham will do this week, but it seems she can do no wrong.

2 Love Tony Cohen Catwalk Fashion Show AIFWSS2012

 

On Sunday night designer Tony Cohen held his second show of the Amsterdam Fashion Week. This time he presented his brand new, second line named 2LOVETONYCOHEN. A more affordable line so more women can own a Tony Cohen.

The models wore colorful shades, Sacha Shoes and very feminine outfits. The first girls sported lots of nudes; frilly dresses, playful tops and elegant blouses. They looked confident as they strutted the runway, hair down (with two small braids), hands in their pockets.

The nudes slowly turned into all kinds of blue shades and even some kind of aqua print. Silk tops, charming scarfs, leather jackets, trenchcoats and T-shirts with sequins followed in red, blue and lilac.

It was a show full of great pieces. And the fact that these are now more affordable will probably make a lot of women happy.

 

Front Row Jan Boelo Catwalk Fashion Show AIFWSS2012

Check out Jan Boelo’s star studded front row.

Jan Boelo held his fashion show at 3.00 p.m., but unlike at other fashion shows this didn’t withhold the VIP guests to come to his show. And we got the feeling his star studded front row very much enjoyed his Rock ‘n Roll Balmain-inspired presentation.

It started with a short clip (see below), just to set the mood right.

Then Boelo’s angry models appeared sporting shiny tailored jackets, loose rock pants and glamrock shoes. They walked fierce and fast and sure worked Boelo’s seventies inspired creations (for men and women).

Leather pants and dresses with lots of chains and metal belts made the models look tough. Shiny denim shorts (with pockets sticking out from underneath) seemed perfect for a summer festival. And those well fitted Baroque and Roll jackets (with stressed shoulders) could just be very wearable (when styled in a more sober manner).

To the sounds of of Highway to Hell the show came to and end. Jan told us Ellen ten Damme is already fan of his label and we’re pretty sure more celebs are soon to follow.

Frontrow Edith & Ella Catwalk Fashion Show AIFWSS2012

What better way to spend your Saturday night than to go and see a fashion show? The front row of Edith & Ella was full of fashion lovers and journalists who seemed to love the Scandinavian fashion designed by Line Markvardsen. Check out the people we spotted front row.

Edith & Ella Catwalk Fashion Show AIFWSS2012

On Saturday eve Danish designer Line Markvardsen showed her new summer collection Epoque from her label Edith & Ella at the Amsterdam Fashion Week. A fun, sweet, trendy and wearable collection, which the audience really seemed to like.

The colors of the collection, inspired by the desert, changed from gold, beige and brown to pink, blue and red. Looks were pretty clean, like you’d expect from a Scandinavian designer. But there was still room left for fun details like large buttons, strings, polka dot prints, lines, cherry details and belts.

All models (with the best hairdo ever) looked comfortable in their loose fitting jumpsuits, chique blouses, sophisticated flared pants, playful shorts and cute little skirts. Themes ranged from seventies to seventies to sailor and everything in between.

Some of the items maybe felt a little too doll-ish, but there were many cute outfits Dutch women would love to wear.

Quoc Thang Catwalk Fashion Show AIFWFW2011

On Saturday evening Quoc Thang wowed us with his new menswear collection. It was well tailored, very wearable, cohesive and – unlike most other collections this week – it was a fall/winter collection.

Quoc introduced his brand new 3 x 3 x 3 concept based on the idea of a pair of pants, a top and a jacket. His designs, worn by models with wet faces and messy hair) told the story of an adventurer defying cold area’s in search of security and safety.

“It’s called A Place Over There (Een Plek Daarginds in Dutch) and – like all my collections so far – it has something to do with the vulnerability and transitory of life. My inspiration comes from conversations, exhibitions and every day things. I always write things down”, Quoc told us earlier.

The designs indeed looked like you could conquer any weather in them. Thick woolen coats, perfect pants tucked in shoes, and great jackets with hoodies and fur details. Shades ranged from multiple blues and greys to green (some of them slightly shiny).

For this collection Quoc Thang changed everything; his strategy, his philosophy and the way in which he built up the collection. And if you ask us, this turned out perfectly. Let’s hope this collection will lead to many new sales points for mister Thang. He sure deserves it.

 

Sage & Ivy Fashion Show SS2012 Video

At the Sage & Ivy catwalk show everything fell right into place. The models, the music, the weather and the atmosphere worked together just beautifully. And as the models in their floor sweeping designs stepped on the catwalk and their dresses hit the water we all got shivers. What a breathtaking show…
