Burberry Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010
The Burberryshow was about ‘british town and country under British rain and sun’ according to the press release. That means lightweight trenches in waxed cotton, tissue weight nylon, paper leather and cashmere knits. The colors represented the weatherconditions: muddy, taupe and grey for a rainy day, bottle green, pastel hyacinth and pastel powder blue for those hazy summerdays. Bag of the season – as seen in other collections – is a canvas utility bag trimmed with leather. The collection was ok, but not as upbeat and cool as it used to be. And we’re desperately in need for surprising and daring clothes!
Jil Sander Catwalk Fashion Show 2010
Thanks to a very kind PR-assistant at the door we made it into Jil Sander last minute. It was – as always – worth trying. Very plain, very sober and very white! White shirts at navy trousers dominated the collection and Raf Simons just added a small silver outline to shirts or cut the frontparts of jackets different which gave the models – together with their bowlcut hair – a neat and nerdy look. The portraits by Japanese artist Foujita gave it a more arty edge.
Dolce & Gabbana Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010
When you cut the prices of your collections by almost 20 percent like Dolce & Gabbana did, you still have to make it worth buying. But their new summercollection is something we already know: smokings mixed with jeans and cotton trousers, destroyed and bleached jeans, black and white suits, a T-shirt with a portrait of a style-icon (Marlon Brando). The only new idea – and odd – were the silk pyjamas that lined some destroyed jeans. Who’s ging to wear that? We liked the thin, black silk shirts.
Costume National Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010
The Costume National Homme collection was about travellers and curious adventurers. According to us it was more about new wave, eighties and small suits for older boys. Lots of white, black and grey with a hint of green, a small silhouet and ankleboots.
Zegna Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010
Ermenegildo Zegna represented the feeling that was all over the Pitti Uomo: a need for new, different business-suits. Less formal and strict, more casual and colorful. The label managed to fill that need for a large part.

Impressions from Paris and Milan Menswear FW09 season
Now the menswear FW09 season in Paris and Milan has closed, I would like to post some impressions from outside the shows.
It all started in Milan, where the weather was really bad; lots of rain
Peter Stigter very concentrated: shooting a show
Photographers Gaspar and Jordy love to shoot the shows 🙂
People without invitations waiting at Ann Demeulemeester, hoping to get in
At Thierry Mugler, the backstage for the models was outside of the show’s location. Just before the show started, the models had to walk to the catwalk.

Finally we arrived in Amsterdam. At Amsterdam Central Station we were welcomed in Holland by twenty big prints of Peter’s catwalk pictures!

Kanye West attends menswear FW09 Paris fashion shows
As we all know, Kanye West is a huge fan of fashion. He attended the menswear fall/winter 2009 catwalk shows in Paris. Some impressions below:

He forgot to remove his bag from the runway at the Louis Vuitton show, so the photographers are making remarks about this. This video is shot from the photographers pit.
