Esther Dorhout-Mees Fashion Week Amsterdam FW2014

Esther Dorhout Mees showed her seventh collection at Fashion Week Amsterdam. The collection ‘Passage’ consists of powerful designer pieces with organic forms in contrast with sharply hard contours. The underlying inspiration is the parallel with our human life. Mees merges apparent contradictions in a perfect symbiosis. Smooth and shiny fabrics are gracefully combined with rough textures. Even cracks in trees are reflected in the pattern pieces. The clean, straight lines of pants and tops contrast with voluminous folds and flowing dresses. In the knitwear we see this vulnerability and strength woven into each piece.

Ratna Ho Catwalk Fashion Show FW14

The all women band Krach playing in the right corner of the Transformatorhuis set the mood for the show. Then diverse models – some a little older than others, others a little more voluptuous – showed Ratna Ho’s f/w collection. A mix of straight silhouettes with ruffled, curly accents, sheer fabrics with thick, structured linings and robe detailing. Sheer black dresses were given a tropical colorful touch by those details. Dresses that would have looked common otherwise, yet now appeared luxurious and original, exclusive yet wearable and, not to mention, a little sexy. The transparent bags had the same detailing as the dresses and the surprising mix of straight and curly was even translated into the models’ hairdos. Ratna’s humor was definitely visible in the collection, but that doesn’t mean those clothes aren’t suitable for doing some serious business…

Jonathan Christopher Homme Catwalk Fashion Show FW14

Jonathan Christopher Homme likes to experiment with juxtapositions in life: masculine and feminine, light and dark, soft and harsh. All these elements were visible in his FW2014-collection which got rave reviews afterwards.

Kathryn Milan Catwalk Fashion Show FW14

Designer David Turner is behind the classy women’s and men’s line Kathryn Milan, which he launched during the Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam. He creates a new evolution of luxury, bringing his sense of simple elegance and style, with an infused influence of European class, to the fashion world.

Jan Boelo Catwalk Fashion Show FW14

You don’t have to undress to be sexy was Jan Boelos message with his FW2014 collection. And indeed, he didn’t show a lot of skin. There was no need to. His male and female models rocked his autumn designs nonetheless.

Jan Boelo FW14 Afterparty

Tickets were hot for the Jan Boelo afterparty, and so were the guests. They partied until the early morning at the music played by dj’s Olivier Heldens, Shermanology and Dubvision.

Jef Montes Catwalk Fashion Show FW14

Illuminosa is the title of Jef Montes’ debut-collection at Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam. With this collection the Artez-graduate tried to visualize the effect of light in an experimental design. The tension backstage was touchable, while Jef Montes adjusted his designs at the last second.

MaryMe JimmyPaul Fashion Week Amsterdam FW2014

As fog appeared from the sides of the runway and plastic bags whirled all over it the first MaryMe Jimmy Paul a white and gold winter princess (Valentijn de Hingh) made her way onto it. She wore a structured, quilted golden dress, a white furry coat and sneakers. In each of her hands she carried a plastic bag filled with what looked like boiling nitrogen. The idea behind the smoke everywhere? E-cigarette brand Jiksu was the sponsor of the whole event. They made it possible for MaryMe Jimmy Paul to introduce their sporty, stiff sweaters and bring on their fluffy, fur skirts. Their colorful hooded coats, their full on printed and very colorful ensembles, their ripped leather pants and their short haired motor jackets. Not to mention the leather gloves, the black wigs and the sheer backpacks that completed the party. Who the two geniuses behind this all are, we will never really know. Like at their previous fashion show the label’s founders decided not to make an appearance or take a simple bow at the end of the show. Instead their PR ladies walked the runway and gladly took the big applause on their behalf.
