Frontrow day two – Amsterdam Fashion Week 2010
On Thursday evening designers Mada van Gaans and Camilla Norrback presented their new collections. The show area was fully packed. And what everyone wants to know is, who was sitting frontrow? We photographed some of those (frontrow) people.

Mada van Gaans Amsterdam Fashion Week fw2010

While snake prints are very popular at the moment Mada van Gaans wisely continued using snakes as an inspiration for her show. After the Mythical Cobra show she presented last summer, her collection was now based on the Serpent Goddess.
The collection included some snake prints and lots of black designs. Yet we also saw some candy-colored pink passing by. Nice, remarkable and feminine shapes could be seen through a few puffy sleeves and some wide harem pants.
A few looks were enriched with accessories. We saw some great-looking hair decoration with beads in the shape of a heart, fur bags and shoes, which were way too high. Almost every model had difficulty walking in those shoes. Which resulted in none of the models walking very well.
Nevertheless Mada van Gaans showed a chic and sophisticated collection.
‘Bravo’, as one of the people from the audience shouted when Mada appeared.

Dutch Fashion Foundation: Prelude AW09
The fourth edition of Prelude was actually the unofficial kick start of Amsterdam International Fashion Week. This fashion-salon – initiated by the Dutch Fashion Foundation and Mercedes Benz – presents fresh, new Dutch fashiontalents. And we really experienced some fresh fashion! Like the debut of Sebastic, with his sensitive menswearcollection focused on shirts and pullovers in powdery colours. Sjaak Hullekes is also a promising mensweardesigner, with his tough collection were casual meets formal. Other contributors were Mada van Gaans (great dresses with beautiful ornaments), Conny Groenwegen (satin dresses & subtile knitwear) and Corné Gabriels. Now that’s a guy to watch! His weather-inspired menswearcollection was witty and stylish, especially those beautiful pullovers with digital prints of clouds, thunder and rain. He made us very happy!
