Tony Cohen Amsterdam Fashion Week Fall 2016

On Sunday night four days filled with fashion came to an end with the final show, that of Tony Cohen. The designer has been on the official programme for seasons now. So how could we wrap up fashion week without having seen his latest collection? Inspired by primary shapes (the circle, the square and the check) Tony got more in touch with his roots than ever before. With every season that passes his motto is changing more and more to ‘less is more’. Therewith putting more focus on the silhouette, materials and the finishing. Less fuss, less distraction and still every outfit had an obvious Tony Cohen signature. The moody menswear and womenswear looks were cut tight to the body, dark shaded (in black, grey, brown and a touch of red). Looks both tough as well as graceful (with statement jewelry pieces and chunky leather boots). A little more classic than before, with a focus on the waistline and a type of A-line silhouette. Long lean silhouettes in the mix with a few playful short dresses, leather and lace, fur and sheerness added some nice contrast. A hint of genderbleding too. This was Tony Cohen in it’s purest form so far. A great way to conclude MBAFW 2016!

It was back to square one for Tony Cohen and his SS2016 collection, which will be sold in Paris from September on. Moving forward and back at the same time… Tony went back to his core, the core of his firm but also the core of his designs. Remarkable was the slight change in silhouette as Tony Cohen appeared to have used more square shapes and straightened things up, both in the designs of his clothes and accessories. His color palette of choice existed of exquisite shades of black, white, gold, cream and green, combined with embroidery graphic prints inspired. Outfits balanced between handcrafted, detailed looks and clean, abstract designs, created for men and women who dare to show their true selves to the world. And dressed in one of these fashion numbers, any man or woman deserves to be seen.

P.S. Tony Cohen’s line 2LOVETONYCOHEN will from now on be named TONYCOHEN and will thus be part of the main, luxury line.

Tony Cohen Fashion Week Amsterdam FW2014

If there’s one designer that knows how to deliver consistently it’s Tony Cohen. Tonight he presented his fall/winter collection that lived up to our expectations and managed to be surprising as well. Overall the silhouette was long, lean and asymmetric and the color palette dark; Cohen’s signature. Looks were created out of the perfect mix of textures… lots of leather, pieces of knitwear, some airy accents and silver details. A full on green ensemble looked impressive and some of the floor sweeping numbers definitely made an impact too. Pleated pants and oversized, structured blouses and long skirts with high slits looked cool and chic at the same time. Black leather gloves and filt hats added to the coolness of the looks. (filt) Hats off for Tony, for coming up with another strong and steady collection.

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.

That was maybe the fullest frontrow this fashionweek at Tony Cohens show this afternoon. Young teenagers, grand old ladies, singers and editors. They enjoyed a good show.

Tony Cohen’s show was a 24/7 adventure. As the sun came up his first model came up wearing an orange shaded ensemble, including a pleated cotton maxi skirt and a leather biker jacket. After a few more looks in earthy tones, the color palette changed into nude, grey and later on black and white. Then Tony introduced a series of the brightest neon dresses, which gracefully moved at the pace of the models’ walk. After a short pause it was time for the evening wear to shine. As a full moon shined on the runway models appeared sporting glittery, asymmetrical pieces for a night out in style. Flared pants were combined with 70’s wedge shoes. Duo colored draped dresses, like we saw last season at Tony Cohen, made the models look elegant and party proof. Long evening dresses were vamped up by airy trains following the models in the air, throughout the night.

Impressions of Amsterdam Fashion Week FW2012 Day 4

This was the fourth day of Amsterdam Fashion Week FW2012. An afternoon and evening filled with the Firestarters Talkshow, interesting shows of Custo, Tony Cohen and Gestuz. But the talk of the day was the Supertrash-show in the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam. Olcay Gulsen transformed the venue in a golden Las Vegas-space, where sailorgirls guarded the frontrow. She also launched her own perfume, Supertrash Phenomenal.
