Snapshot from the photographers-pitch

AIFW Impressions Pt. 3

Saturday, in between shows

Zoe and Jani
Zoe is a London based hair stylist, she took her brother, a former clubkid, to the AIFW.

Model with drink
First strutting down the catwalk and now posing by the bar. I liked her shoes and coat with the grey/silver pantyhose.

Ans Markus
Another lady who has passed the age of 40 and knows how to wear her age in a stylish way. I waited for 10 minutes to take a picture of her; Ans Markus, a painter. Maybe this is good inspiration for a self portrait.

Anouk
Dressed in a black cape, grey pantyhose and lackleather shoes, this pale lady with fuchsia lips drew my attention. Her name is Anouk and she’s learning to be a fashion designer. She has a special interest in the combination of texture and technology to add more light and better tailoring to her designs.

Willemijn Sluis
I first noticed Willemijns Scottish skirt. So nice to see someone combine it with the traditional dark blue colour instead of an obvious neon. Lipstick was original also; Bordeaux-red instead of Ferrari. After talking to Willemijn for a bit, it came out she knew Peter personally and had worked with him several times.

Round and about at AFW Thursday

Antoine Peters
Designer Antoine Peters was waiting in line for a colleague’s show wearing a brownish photoprint shirt.

Robbert Risteski
Robbert Risteski, stylist, works parttime for Zipper and for a Paris based designer called Marian Pejoski who went to St. Martins together with Bernard Wilhelm.

Neon rockstars
I caught these kids right before the supertrash show. They looked so good together, it almost seemed as if they were one outfit worn by three urban models.

Yellow Frida
Remember the artist Frida Kahlo? This woman I interpreted as the perfect modern version of her. I was blown away by her appearance and I wasn’t the only one.

Wolves in the Snow
This girl was one of the neon rockstars. If they were a three piece painting I’d call this piece the wolf in the snow. A friendly wolf though, who dresses well and has a pretty face.

Round and about Elle Style Awards

Our reporter Sophie spotted some good looking people round and about:

Elif form AIFW-blog-team
This Chloe Sevigny look alike immediately caught my eye. Her name turned out to be Elif, she’s in charge of the AIFW fashionblog and knows how to work her wardrobe.

Nude Shiny Legs
This girl was the first person I saw wearing the American apparel nude shiny leggings. They are rather hard to combine but she did a great job. Love the tailoring of the jacket with its striking blue stitches.

Cara from Elle
Right before she left I managed to take a picture of ex chiefeditor Cara from Elle; being ‘the mother of style’ she looked amazing in her blue Klavers en van Engelen’ dress with a black detail and matching jacket and shoes.

Willemijn Rinnooy Kan
Dressed in a shiny Laundry Industry dress, Willemijn Rinnooy Kan, freelance reporter who has worked for Elle and the Financieel Dagblad, charmingly posed for me.

Boy in men’s room:
This sweet young man had been waiting in line for the toilet for 10 minutes and when it was finally his turn to go I asked him to pose. Thanks for holding it up a little longer!

Best dressed cleaning lady.
This girl obviously wasn’t the cleaning lady, though the colours of her bag and pantyhose look amazing next to a simple blue bucket. Love the lipstick and hair, thank you!

Yves Saint Laurent gloves
A great match in high-end fashion. The minimalistic shape and powdry colour of this dress go really well with the Yves saint Laurent gloves and the haircut.
