Future Generations presents: Das Leben am Haverkamp Amsterdam Fashion Week

January 27, 2017 by  
Filed under Fashion

Season after season the LAB shows have amazed and surprised us and on the opening night of this fashion week Das Leben am Haverkamp was no exception. The fashion collective, formed by four young designers (Anouk van Klaveren, Christa van der Meer, Dewi Bekker en Gino Anthonisse) was both entertaining and fascinating. With four different presentations the young talents presented their vision on contemporary fashion and design.

Dewi Bekker kicked off with a colorful menswear collection with a focus on lines and fields, patent leather and semi formal influences (suit and tie). Her men wore gloves and masks which made the whole thing even more abstract.

Naked guys wrapped in shiny gold ribbon entered the stage as part of Anouk van Klaveren’s presentation. A mini show which purpose or message was hard to understand without any explanatory show notes. From a burka inspired look covered in shiny polka dots to a navy shaded heavy woolen suit, a black suit covered with pearl necklaces and a fluffy/fur inspired head to toe attire worn with gold colored slippers; not your every day outing, but food for thought for sure.

Gino Antonisse followed with his oriental inspired selection of art meets fashion looks. His models wore checked dress designs, oversized kimonos and suit jackets with long slits on the sides. On their hats they carried around enormous paper fans, which turned the looks into interesting pieces of art.

Christa’s fashion installations ended this LAB collaborative quite brilliantly. Out of six big white boxes appeared enormous blow up figures (the ones sometimes used on the side of the road to attract customers). For the occasion Christa dressed them up in colourful striped looks in which they were shaking their hats and arms around. Probably nothing trend setting, but the designers deserves some extra points for originality and the show’s fun factor.

 

 

 

Future Generation presents The Painting Amsterdam Fashion Week

White on white on white.. The dresscode for the second show of the opening night was white. Not for the audience though, for the models. With the idea that everyday is a fresh start nine young designers (Ailene van Elmpt, Johannes Offerhaus, Liesbeth Sterkenburg, Marlou Breuls, Merel van Glabbeek, Sunanda Koning, TRINHBECX, Yoko Maja and Zyanya Keizer) presented their work. A clean slate, a fresh start in which we can write out our dreams, color with hope and shape with belief. Apart from their color palette, which was obviously limited, curator Peter Leferink gave them ‘carte blanche’. This led to very personal stories told by the nine talents brought together by hope, faith and love. Menswear looks covered in text, pleated and lace up womenswear designs, delicate and dreamy designs with beaded/sequins detailing, impressive knitwear pieces (even for little girls), kinky patent leather looks, arty head to toe creations and a couple of twin fashion ensembles. A diversified show concluded by a colorfully dressed choir singing John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ to a peace sign backdrop. And everything just fell into place.

Raf Simons Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2019

“I don’t want to be negative. I want to do something abstract and beautiful and elegant and proud and sophisticated, but without losing the edge of what the brand stands for: the young generation, the dark movies”, Raf Simons stated backstage. And boy did he deliver. His collection mainly spoke of bright colored, strong shouldered long coats and funny hats/helmets. A few leopard prints in the mix too. A leopard printed coat even got a few photographic prints (stills from David Lynch movies) patched to it’s chest. Workwear boots, motorcycle gloves and skull print scarves completed the looks. The show could be divided into two (one with a Joy Division soundtrack followed by a ten-minute intermission and second-half performance by Belgian post-punk band Whispering Sons). Not a word on his Calvin Klein exit, but we’re glad to see he put some extra focus into his eponymous label. Looking for some dazzling fw2019 outerwear? Raf Simons is your man.

Merel van Glabbeek + RE by RECONSTRUCT Catwalk Fashion Show MBFWA SS2018

After having shown several looks during the latest Future Generation Presents The Painting six months ago Merel van Glabbeek was back at MBFWA on Friday. At the Transformatorhuis she presented her brand new collection. A collection full of vibrant looks in a color palette ranging from white and red to brown and black. A number of kimono inspired dresses looked easy to wear, yet had a luxurious touch to them. Embroidered details and tassle accessories gave the collection an extra exotic, perhaps even eastern- touch. Highly decorated, arty headpieces combined with super tight braids and interesting ankle boots turned the sophisticated looks into a complete fashion story. In Merel’s designs there’s always a focus on extensive handcrafting so this collection was no exception. And all that hard work certainly paid off today.

Blue spikes, green hair, purple make-up, headbands, braids and chunky piercings; there was nothing plain about the models looks at Rotterdam fashion collective Reconstruct. Same goes for their clothing. Designers Laura Aanen, Zara Asmail, Alyssa Groeneveld, Kim Kivits, Michelle Lievaart and Sanne Verkleij came up with deconstructed shirts, shiny cut-out suits, cropped hoodies and kimono inspired gear. Overall the looks were tough (how about that guy smoking on the runway?) and sporty. On to the next boxing match! And let’s hope nobody gets strangled by all those bands and straps.

Dries van Noten Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear FW2017

March 2, 2017 by  
Filed under Fashion, Paris, womenswear

Dries van Noten’s show yesterday marked a milestone: it was his 100th collection inclusing women’s and men’s. And he took the opportunity to look back, but without being nostalgic. He chose to celebrate with the clothes and the women who have telegraphed their power from the beginning – literally generations of runway models. He opened with Kristina de Coninck, followed by a roll call of his favorite go-to girls from the Nineties on — Amber Valletta, Anne Catherine Lacroix, Carolyn Murphy, Alek Wek, Cecilia Chancellor, Élise Crombez, Erin O’Connor, Esther de Jong, Guinevere Van Seenus, Kirsten Owen, Liya Kebede and Nadja Auermann — who shared the runway with the familiar faces of today.

Van Noten dressed them to play up their strength, both as individuals and as a gender. And it did work, powerfully and easily. Van Noten crossed traditional masculine and feminine elements on his runway.
Van Noten’s other big message: prints – he’s a master of the genre. As part of looking back, he revived favorite patterns from his archive, overprinting them with additional motifs so that nothing is today as it was then.

MBFWA january 2017, this was day 01

Day 01 of MBFWA is a fact. And what a day it was! Filled with inspiring and challenging designs of the Future Generation.

Milan Fashion Week Menswear FW2017 RECAP

January 21, 2017 by  
Filed under Fashion

In Milan designers unfolded their colorful (in terms of models as well as the collection’s color palettes) stories for fall/winter 2017. Vivid, original and specifically youthful collections filled with statement items we can dream of in the months to come. Collections indirectly referring to or hinting at the turbulent times we live in. We can take a Prada-trip down memorylane to the seventies or we can dress like the millennial kids Dolce & Gabbana were addressing with their funky, streetwise show. Which ever style we pick, keeping warm will be the least of our problems once winter 2017 comes knocking. From Fendi and Marni to Prada and Moschino showed you can in fact look cool in something fluffy and furry. Curious to what else Milan presented us with? Here are our Milan Fashion Week Menswear FW2017 Highlights.

Seventies chic
Curduroy and a palette ranging from brown, tan, rust and orange to blood-red and burgundy. Prada’s collection was all about a return to “reality, normality, simplicity” (as an escape from today’s turbulent times). We’re already feeling nostalgic.

Bits ‘n bobs
Textures and colors in the mix at Marni. New creative director Francesco Risso’s debut’s collection about checked pleated pants and duo color fur hats (that will no doubt make countless upcoming editorials).

Slick yet street
Versace’s men were slick, yet more ‘street’ than ever dressed in their red/black plaid bomber jackets, hoodies, sweaters and sneakers. Donatella’s idea of the ‘brotherhood’ we now need more than ever (in these turbulent times).

Anti army
Moschino’s anti army was quite the literal inspiration; a collection filled with army inspired items like the barret, the bullet belt and lots of army green. Yet as a contrast to the camo print models wore fresco printed pieces instead.

Cable knit
At Salvatore Ferragamo Guillaume Meilland made his debut with a wearable classic collection that had just the right amount of playfulness to it. Exquisite tailoring and an on point palette (of grey and burgundy) came through in the cropped jackets, pleated pants and cable knits.

Bright & leopard
While most women might already be getting a little leopard exhausted, men are still getting their shot next year, if it’s up to Silvia Venturini Fendi. Their collection filled with fur, bright color combinations, texts (like YELLOW and TRY) and leopard prints will surely appeal to a young customer. Oh, and it also proved fluffy overcoats can be hot on guys too.

Hyped up
Dolce & Gabbana have officially chosen to go for a hype with every new collection they bring out. Their new work isn’t necessarily about craftsmanship, tailoring and fashion anymore; it’s about standing out, getting likes and going viral. The selfie-savvy generation is their focus customer so he/she gets served. With celebrities walking the runway like D&G princes attented by Insta queens on the front row. Or did you actually want to read anything about the collection?

 

Dolce & Gabbana Catwalk Fashion Show Menswear Milan FW2017

January 16, 2017 by  
Filed under Fashion, Menswear, Milan

For Fall ’17, Dolce & Gabbana took the idea of inviting YouTube and Instagram influencers from the millennial generation to their show, started by them last season, by inviting them to be the show. But they weren’t only chasing models with fat follower portfolios; there were children of clients at the Alta Moda couture line in the mix, too.
Cameron Dallas, who, as usual, brought several hundred hopelessly devoted young female fans in his wake, opened the show in a black and burgundy suit as Austin Mahone, also suited, wielded a golden microphone on the runway.
Regal canines—including a great snob fox in a smoking jacket shown on one velvet sweatshirt worn over brocade patch jeans—were a theme. Sneakers were dipped in resin, given elegant brand signature, or scribbled and sketched on in a teen-dream mosaic like those covering the backpacks of the Cameron Dallas fans screaming in the freezing cold outside.
