Francisco van Benthum SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week

Scuba-diving and the underwaterworld, both prints and materials inspired Francisco van Benthum for his collection ‘Marlin’. Not too literal though. He presented looks to manipulate the silhouet. Series of certain fashion pieces, like the menswear shirt shown in five different ways (as a blouson, jacket, statement buy online viagra shirt and even a coat). Other clothes showed the ability of “morphing”, like an oversized pair of pleated pants that can be worn in many different ways. Materials were comfortable and summer proof. Neopreen, the ultimate scuba fabric, was used as more of a jersey for several sportive coats. Black and white prints popped up alternated with an outerspace-like blue and purple version that really brought some of the black, grey and green looks to live. Lots of Van Benthum fans in the room, so there’s no doubt this collection will do well.

Melissa Siegrist SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week

Melissa Siegrist’s boys were all ready to hop on the baseball field, or at least look pretty on the sideline. They sported striped and uni colored shorts, baseball jackets and shirts worn underneath T-shirts. Everything had a fifties vintage touch, inspired by legends like Joe DiMaggio and Babe Ruth. Designs, made out of linen and cotton looked effortless and comfortable. Nothing too crazy, never trying too hard; this was just a beautifully made, perfectly fitting menswear collection.  Plus, the live trumpet player and DJ made Melissa’s forth AFW show into a fun, inspirational Monday afternoon event.

The forth day of Amsterdam Fashion Week kicked off with two ‘quickies’; Alla Kuzmyk and Jose Francisco Ramos both presented their small collections during a LAB show.

Models with futuristic hair wore pants, tops and a series of dresses in remarkable shapes and sizes. Hand dyed colors and humps and bumps on shoulders and backs. Every look was covered in prints with patterns derived from miroscopical views on viruses. Faded shades of red, blue, yellow and grey worked beautifully together in this cohesive, striking collection.

Vibrant Pakistan SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week

No Dutch designs on the third night of the Amsterdam Fashion Week; tonight we celebrated Pakistan fashion. Six different designers from Pakistan presented their best work during a big show. Six creators all with their unique style and very different from one another.

Faiza Samee kicked of with a tasteful airy collection full of vibrant colors, stripes and multiple variations of gorgeous prints. Designs were loose fitting and typical Eastern, yet still wearable enough buy viagra for any Dutch woman.

Second in row was Sonya Battla with her asymmetric collection, which formed a nice mix of warm colors (fuchsia, red, purple, turquoise) and embroidered gold and glitter.

Then came Adnan Pardesy with a much heavier series of designs, with knitted parts and rich colors. A clear contrast was visible in these creations, especially in a long thin purple dress, combined with a heavy cardigan.

Up next: modern music and the Lolita collection by Durreshahwar. A series of leggings and tunics with beautiful prints like paisley, roses and eastern nature. Designs were very sheer and a little racy as the models’ underwear was visible from underneath some fully printed designs.

Then the music got even louder and the audience went a little crazy as Leisure Club presented their work. Designs with a way more Western touch, especially when it concerned the fit. Bright colors and prints here too, plus a few pieces with Arabic writing on them to accentuate the brand’s origin.

Honey Waqar closed the Pakistan spectacle with her over the top luxurious couture creations. Dresses made out of the richest materials, velvet and gold, glitters and embroideries, roses everywhere, statement hat pieces and bird cages instead of handbags. A true fairytale closure to this, indeed, vibrant fashion show.

Tony Cohen SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week

As usual Kim Feenstra opened the Tony Cohen fashion show tonight. With her strong walk and fierce gaze (plus extra long hair) she showed off Tony’s new signature for SS2014 in which a cleaner line was visible. Long, lean models sported loose, sharply cut canadian non prescription viagra designs. Asymmetrical dresses, flared pants and layered tops popped up in countless variations. Knitwear and ultra thin leather were put in the mix, as well as a thick fur-like material, used for oversize kaftan-like dresses. Besides a focus on the shoulders (through capes and one shouldered veils) Tony put a lot of detail in the back too, adding long fringes, laces and airy pieces of fabrics to a lot of bare backs. As the soundtrack played “Welcome to my world” we indeed were arrived in a full on Tony Cohen world. The show ended with a dramatic finale of black and white floor sweeping dresses. Judging from the reactions in the audience (women everywhere sighing and screaming “I like, I like”) this collection will be a big hit, commercially.

Nata Ryzh SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week

Another big Fashion LAB show today. Nata Ryzh let us buy viagra online cheap us think about everything around us, let us question whether everything is really what it seems and thus let us use our imagination. Her collection ‘shambala’, inspired by a mythical kingdom, was all about comfort and happiness. Feminine models with frizzy curls sported kaftan-like tunics and color coordinated headbands. Beautiful kaleidoscopic prints (from images of every day objects) and loose fits gave the easygoing collection a seventies vibe. Chunky accessories in black and white matched the models’ shiny shoes. Everything just worked together perfectly and when the models did their little hip dance at the end we knew for sure we’d love to go on a journey to shambala, ‘cause it sure seems like one happy place.

2Love Tony Cohen SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week

Two catwalk shows on the same day is something most designers would stress out about. But not Tony Cohen. This designer knows the drill and is always right on schedule with his collections. This afternoon he started off with his 2LoveTonyCohen show. A show with plenty of looks for the confident modern woman. Looks with a 24/7 mentality; to go from the office to a dinner with friends and perhaps even do a little dance later at night. For SS2014 Tony added some new touches to his signature looks, like XL zippers, metallic parts, washed out denim and richly embroidered details. A kaleidoscopic print looked surprising, as did a long leather fringed jacket. Loose fitting outfits were given his familiar two or three- tones treatment, with different shades of green, purple, pink and mint. Everything had a careless feeling to it, this being accentuated by the long haired models walking with their hands in their pockets. There’s a comfortable, versatile summer season 2Love ahead!

Dido Yland + Rebecca Ward SS2014 Amsterdam Fashion Week

Dido Yland

For her summer collection Dido Yland got inspired by trains; the shape and the details as well as the staff. Vintage flight attendant suits became her inspiration for more modern pieces. Pieces that today were sported by low price viagra young girls on colorful flats (by designer Anna Korshun), wearing felt hats (created by hat brand Yashkathore). Their clothes, in a variety of bright shades, made them look even younger. The show outfits, mostly made out of wearable cotton, formed a good mix of formal and casual. Remarkable socks and tights gave the looks a different twist. The girls definitely did not resemble train conductors, yet we could see the reference. Bon Voyage!

Rebecca Ward

This afternoon Rebecca Ward surprised us with her collection Parasomnia; a place between dreams and reality. When the loud bass echoed through the room and small lights shined up on us; we indeed arrived in a different world. A world located in the ephemeral moment between being asleep and awake, where models walking in slow motion appeared one by one. They sported elegant creations decorated by floral prints and tiny ruffles (which came back in the details of the shoes too). Rigid leathers beautifully combined with sheer pieces; accentuating the contrast in Rebecca’s inspiration. Balloon shaped elegant dresses and tough cut out leather pants kind of clashed too, yet eventually worked very well together.
