Individuals Catwalk Fashion Show AFW FW2013
This was the 14th collection of Individuals, a seasonal collection made by young creatives. Individuals is an initiative of Amfi, Amsterdam Fashion Institute and Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. Every season a new group of 24 creative minds starts with the Individuals program. The inspiration comes from a collective translation of the evolving zeitgeist. The collection of 2013 contains pieces which compose a modern day armor. It’s a contemporary solution for ensuring survival in this world.
Black, burgundy and green are the colors of this new uniform, with silver and sparkle as a glamorous but also hi tech touch. The designers played with contrasts: soft and hard fabrics, matte and shiny, loose and fitted, luxurious and sober. A perfect wardrobe to survive in the city.
Collectie Arnhem 2013 Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam
ArtEZ Fashion Design showed their fifteenth Collection Arnhem today. 26 Fashion-students at the Arnhem School of the Arts designed the collestion as a team. Their message: I love me, a new vision of the human being by playing with emotions. With the collection they played a provocative game of contradictions in form, fabric and color. The boundaries between male and female, private and public, good and bad disappeared now and then.
Thom Browne Menswear Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2013
While blindfolded models hammering on a wooden construction formed the backdrop of Thom Browne’s fashion show, his walking models appeared from behind. The fact that they wore checked skirts and dress like designs could have been enough to keep us press interested. Yet Browne added an extra dimension to his looks, making them unique yet unwearable. His grey flannel suits, his cross printed vest, his checked pants and illusionist coat; they were all done in a boxy style. The effect of the square fits and the super stiff shoulders was even amplified by his square hats, rectangular sunglasses and geometric suitcases. Let’s hope Browne hat some real boxes hidden underneath his designs, so that when he removes those, he can actually sell some of these fall/winter creations.
Paul Smith Menswear Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2013
Who says fall collections have to be all about brown, grey and black? Paul Smith proved even prints and bright colors fit perfectly for an autumn collection. He showed suits in shades of mustard, red, flamingo pink and turquoise. Pairing a red pair of pants with a mustard jacket and combining different shades of blue in one office look. He introduced multiple colored houndstooth sweaters, a single Mondrian inspired creation and psychedelic prints popped up on a shirt and a winter coat. Models looked both confident and comfortable in the perfectly cut menswear designs. Sir Paul Smith’s ever growing Asian fan base won’t be disappointed and neither are we.
Saint Laurent Menswear Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2013
Skinny jeans, checked shirts, leather jackets and long striped scarves; Saint Laurent’s man is a grungy kind of guy for 2013. Jeans had multiple rips and the layering appeared careless on purpose. Hedi Slimane focused on how accessible his designs can be. So accessible both men and women should be able to pull them off (he proved by sending androgynous – real musician – models down the runway). It felt good to see menswear can be more than endless series of checked suits. Yet Slimane’s free spirited, punk creations perhaps could have been a little more original.
