Roparosa Catwalk Fashion Show SS2011

Today Project Catwalk (RTL5) winner Roos van der Kamp showed her third collection Come out and play. The designing of streetstyle clothes she became so good at during the television show was visible again as she presented a mix of comfortable and sporty clothes.

The independent, confident woman Roos designs for definitely was ready to go ‘out and play’. She wore modern, trendy clothes with loose silhouettes, strong geometrical shapes and soft fabrics.

Her pants were wide and had obvious elastic bands. Her tops had accentuated, well-made shoulders, yet Roos already made a lot of those during Project Catwalk.

Two ‘jackets’ (in red and green) had very pointy shoulders and resembled big envelopes. Several jumpsuits and sportive shorts looked very cool.

The leggings and the bathing suit full of cutouts were not really our taste, but hey, there always needs to be room for improvement.

The Daryl van Wouw fashion show was fully packed this week. And that means there were some interesting guests there. Check out our picture from the front row!

Dagmar Catwalk Fashion Show SS2011

Today Swedish label Dagmar showed for the first time during Amsterdam Fashion Week. Dagmar was founded in 2005 by three Swedish sisters: Kristina, Karin and Sofia. They all had their experience in fashion and decided to start a young, high end fashion brand.

Dagmar’ clothes usually are inspired by the Art Deco period of the twenties/thirties. Moving images, architecture, art, music and dance often are an inspiration for the collections too.

The Dagmar summer collection of today was trendy and wearable and showed diverse styles. The handmade knitwear was one of the strongest aspects of the collection, it came by in a mix of gold, black, grey and yellow. Another thing the Swedish sisters proved to be very good at were the masculine perfectly tailored jackets with shoulder pads. Especially the jacket of a beige colored suit looked stunning!

Dagmar’s pants were loose and were very elastic. And though elastic fabrics usually aren’t very appropriate to leave the house in, Dagmar showed some great examples in which you can do that.

A few tops with lots of texture were less impressive, yet the printed dresses at the end made up for that. The last look was not the strongest of the show; a thick white top combined with an airy pink skirt.

Overall Dagmar showed some great style and definitely has potential in the Netherlands. The sister’s muse, grandmother Dagmar, can be proud of her three granddaughters.

Non by Kim Catwalk Fashion Show SS2011

Kim Bakkers’ new fashion collection was inspired by lost tribes, people who live isolated and free of influences from other civilizations. Therefore it was called ‘Uncontacted’.

For this collection Kim reinterpreted the ethnic symbols of the lost tribes into a contemporary aesthetic. She translated their rich cultural traditions and hand-drawn body decorations into roughly geometric, clear-cut, hand drawn grid divisions.

The catwalk was surrounded by little speakers which created special extra sound effects during the show. For that Kim partnered with Steim, a music institution dedicated to live performance.

We saw perfect pleated pants with low crotches, cosy cardigans, asymmetric shirts and geometric prints. They all looked very well made and super comfy. Kim used materials like Japanese denim, wool and linen mixes. She also thought of the environment by choosing for organic and recycled cottons.

Shades of indigo ink, sand, poison green and off white formed a nice color palette. Especially in the prints these shades looked good together.

Kim cut off the length of the clothes which made the cardigans in particular look strangely short in a way. Some of the sweaters appeared a bit too hot for next summer, but overall Kim showed a strong collection.
