Marc by Marc Jacobs Catwalk Fashion Show New York SS2012

The presentation of Marc Jacobs’ main collection is delayed by Hurricane Irene, so we’ll have to wait for his master’s collection until Thursday, the last day of New York Fashion Week. His second line Marc by Marc Jacobs was presented yesterday. And what a surprise. Instead of his signature vintage look and feel and references to other decades, this was a sleeker, cleaner and more grown up collection.
In the press release Bauhaus was mentioned as a source of influence, and minimalism certainly defined the collection in silhouette and color. There were boxy tops, shorts and simple shift dresses and skirts. Plain but powerful.
Tommy Hilfiger Catwalk Fashion Show New York SS2012

Tommy Hilfiger presented a preppy, but less loud spring-collection. No outsized florals like other designers showd, but men’swear checks and subtle shirting stripes. There were some bright motifs in orange and blue, pink and green in Mod-like cuts and sometimes with matching element like swimsuit, skirt, bag and shoes.
Swimwear was an important theme, but there were plenty of shirts- and T-dresses, bi-color raincoats and soft knits.
This was AIFW SS2012
Fashion is vaporized. All cameras are packed. Make up dissolved. The stage disappeared. This 15th edition of Amsterdam International Fashion Week attracted more than 18.500 people, less than last edition due to the bad weather.
But all in all visitors enjoyed the vibe and nice shows, to name some highlights: the Lichting 2011 award, Frans Molenaar Awar, Lab-shows, Sage & Ivy-show in the Spartelvijver, SIS by Spijkers & Spijkers, the pr-stunt of Zeeman by FRANK, Jan Boelo and the Hunkemöller-show. A special thanks to the Fashion-week wo made it all work out smoothly. See you all next year.
2 Love Tony Cohen Catwalk Fashion Show AIFWSS2012

On Sunday night designer Tony Cohen held his second show of the Amsterdam Fashion Week. This time he presented his brand new, second line named 2LOVETONYCOHEN. A more affordable line so more women can own a Tony Cohen.
The models wore colorful shades, Sacha Shoes and very feminine outfits. The first girls sported lots of nudes; frilly dresses, playful tops and elegant blouses. They looked confident as they strutted the runway, hair down (with two small braids), hands in their pockets.
The nudes slowly turned into all kinds of blue shades and even some kind of aqua print. Silk tops, charming scarfs, leather jackets, trenchcoats and T-shirts with sequins followed in red, blue and lilac.
It was a show full of great pieces. And the fact that these are now more affordable will probably make a lot of women happy.
Which crew are you? The A-team of AIFW

The fifteenth edition of Amsterdam International Fashion Week is a fact. More than 18.500 visitors came to the Westerpark and downtown-program, 1500 less then last year. Due to the bad weather some people decided to stay home and watch the shows via internet. Thanks to the renewed organisation at the AIFW the programme went smootly.
So we thought it’s about time to introduce the crew, or A-team, that is the motor behind the organisation of the Amsterdam fashionweek, which is the number six on the list of international fashion-weeks. But of course this week wouldn’t be possible without the commitment of the other team-members Holly Syrett, Judith Hafkamp, interns and volunteers.
Meet the A-team, from left to right: the best dressed program-director we know Carlo Wijnands, shareholders Hans van der Linden, Bart Maussen and Wouter Zick.

There’s no show without lights. And the lights-production/design at the AIFW-shows is in the hands of Jurlights for a few seasons now. So all the beautiful lightsets at Hunkemoller, Jan Boelo, Lichting 2011 and more were designed and produced by this team.
The Jurlights-crew from left to right in the back: Jur, Eddy, Roos, Menno and Raymond. In the front: Frank and Lisette.
Jan Boelo Catwalk Fashion Show AIFWSS2012
Jan Boelo held his fashion show at 3.00 p.m., but unlike at other fashion shows this didn’t withhold the VIP guests to come to his show. And we got the feeling his star studded front row very much enjoyed his Rock ‘n Roll Balmain-inspired presentation.
It started with a short clip (see below), just to set the mood right.

Then Boelo’s angry models appeared sporting shiny tailored jackets, loose rock pants and glamrock shoes. They walked fierce and fast and sure worked Boelo’s seventies inspired creations (for men and women).
Leather pants and dresses with lots of chains and metal belts made the models look tough. Shiny denim shorts (with pockets sticking out from underneath) seemed perfect for a summer festival. And those well fitted Baroque and Roll jackets (with stressed shoulders) could just be very wearable (when styled in a more sober manner).
To the sounds of of Highway to Hell the show came to and end. Jan told us Ellen ten Damme is already fan of his label and we’re pretty sure more celebs are soon to follow.

Edith & Ella Backstage at AIFW SS2012
The backstage-setting at Edith & Ella was as colorful as the show. Hair and beauty reminded us of the good old Brigitte Bardot-days, French, feminie and a bit naughty.
