‘The Fashion Show’ was the title of the presentation where fashion-graduates of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam showed their collections. The students who graduated were: Roosmarijn van Kessel and Sophie Hardeman (Netherlands), Vita Stasiukynaite (Lithuania), Ksenia Nunis (Russia), Tone Bjerkaas (Norway), Karim Adduchi (Marocco), Ting Gong (China) and Chisom Ogundu (Nigeria). To contribute to the costs of the show the students launched a crowdfunding-campaign.

Gerrit Rietveld Graduation Show 2013

Friday night the 14th of June we headed to Paradiso, Amsterdam. Not to see (or hear) an upcoming band, but to witness the graduation spectacle of six graduation students from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Directed by head of fashion Niels Klavers Charlotte Beeck, Tümay Faydaci, Alla Kuzmyk, Duran Lantink, Verena Michel and Niki Milioni presented their final collections as students.
In a special catwalk construction designs by two of the academy’s architectural design students models walked a specific route in order to let both the photographers and the audience get a good glimpse of every angle of the creations.
Where Beeck presented a small collection of constructed menswear designs, Duran Latink’s dark and daring presentation seemed to have no ending. And where Kuzmyk held things sober, Faydaci held a small Paradiso party.
One thing the collections did have in common was their uniqueness. Besides the six fashion innovators showed some off impressive techniques and styles. We’re curious to see who we will see during Amsterdam Fashion Week. Which student will start his/her own label. Or perhaps some of these young talents will start working for a big international brand… Time will tell.
See a gallery with full catwalk looks below.
