Claudia Sträter Amsterdam Fashion Week fw2010

Claudia Sträter presented a modern collection for powerful women on the last day of fashion week. We saw jackets with influences from the eighties, skirts and coats with animal prints and carrot pants.

The collection also had a few good suits, a lot of woolen waistcoats and cardigans in natural colors like gray, brown and beige. They were worn with large leather belts. Other leather items were dresses, pants and gloves.

Of course all trends were used in a modest way, so the collection can be worn by many different Claudia Sträter women.

Ado Les Scents by Hyun Yeu Amsterdan Fashion Week fw2010

Fashion designer Hyun Yeu presented his second menswear collection for fw2010. He named it Rain, while the clothes in this collection were meant to be worn (with a smile) on a rainy day.

The main character in the collection was a coat. We saw a fur coat, trench coats and some shiny silver and blue coats. A cashmere pea coat was so popular that couturier Frans Molenaar already bought it right after the show.

Hyun Yeu also showed some suits in orange black and some long woolly sweaters. We spotted them already the menswear collections in Milan and Paris, but Hyun Yeu presented some old fashion long Johns as well. They were worn with short tight jackets (with only one button) and blouses.

When we asked Hyun Yeu which item was his favorite he said: ‘All the outfits are my babies. I cannot pick one favorite, that’s like choosing between your children. I love them all.’

Besides the trench coat, we loved the pleated silk wool pants in his collection. They fit perfectly and were very well executed.
Actually they look too good to wear on a rainy day, if you ask us.

The frontrows were filled with lots of famous Dutchies yesterday. A packed frontrow at Brillant – what’s new – but also at Ontfront and EnD. A few soapies, some editors but also designers who come to cheer their colleagues.

Kids Frontrow – Amsterdam Fashion Week

All those busy mothers/fashion-pro’s, they take their job serious. They work, no matter what, even during the weekend. And no nanny’s or babysitters, they just take their kids to the shows.  And so tomorrow’s fashionpro’s are born. Or paparazzi, there was this cute little girl who took pictures from every vip sitting frontrow at the show of Supertrash.

EnD Amsterdam Fashion Week fw2010

The fashion show of Eva and Delia was introduced by a short forties/fifties movie in which we saw Victoria Koblenko and Sebastiaan Labrie. It was inspired by Hollywood’s black and white crime-cinema.

Small lamps were hanging above the catwalk and as they lighted up the models appeared.

The designers described their collection as the most chique, fatal, feminine and dramatic one ever. They passed the campy influences they used earlier and focused more on glamour. Yet they still cherished their cutting edge and rocky energy.

Eva and Delia showed a lot of accentuated shoulders. Several fans attached to dresses came by as well. Long eighties inspired jackets with shoulder pads, worn as dresses, and high-waisted pants were also shown.

All designs came by in gold, black and beige and were worn with bronze necklaces.

At the end of the show all models stood still on the runway as the lamps above their heads were turned off one by one to the sounds of Rock ‘n’ roll suicide by David Bowie.

Eva and Delia showed their first collection for EnD in 2007. In November 2009 EnD won the Marie Claire Prix de la Mode as Best National Designer.

Ontfront Amsterdam Fashion Week fw 2010

The menswear-label Ontfront has a signature of its own: rebellious but focused at real men’s  tailoring. The fw 2010 collection had a hint of techno eighties with a straight and gründliche German touch.

Designer Liza Koifman was inspired by car-races at Le Mans and Monaco and car-design and aerodynamic silhouettes. Colors were dark and reminded us of asphalt, rubber wheels and colorful highlights, fabrics were classic but also techno.

All together it was a mucho macho collection with a playful touch, like little boys wearing tough clothes to be like their big brothers. But hey, men and cars – it’s the same as men and clothes. Showing off is allowed.
