If the winter of 2011/2012 is going to be a cold one, these tartan pieces (made from thick wool) sure will keep you warm. Besides the tartan print can be combined with other fashion pieces very easily.
For instance: mix a large tartan scarf with denim pants (Dsquared2), combine a pair woolen tartan trousers with a leather jacket (Etro) or opt for a hounds’ tooth skirt and a sheer blouse (Salvatore Ferragamo). Black & white (Yves Saint Laurent, black & yellow (Burberry) or black & red (Moschino Cheap & Chic). The tartan can be very versatile.
If you don’t wanna go all the way, just choose a great tartan scarf. No matter how you wear it; you’ll definitely have fun with it.
Trend Report FW2011: Sixties Style

After the super feminine fifties and the playful seventies, fashion has now landed back in the sixties. This means: two piece ensembles, miniskirts, high boots, simplicity, color and eye for details (like large pockets and buttons).
Going on a sixties shopping spree? Take some inspiration from models like Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy. Copy their looks and give it your own MODern twist (forget the short hair and wear heels instead of flats).
Opt for thick fabrics that hold structure to create the ultimate sixties look. And don’t go to far with the mini-skirt tough; too short still is not very classy.
Check out the gallery below to see how designers like Burberry, Prada, Calvin Klein and Bottega Veneta interpreted the sixties in their fall collections.

It’s Pink Monday in Tilburg where Team Peter Stigter has it’s headquarters. The annual fair – the biggest in Europe – has arrived and on Pink Monday the gay pride gathers in this town located in the south of Holland. The town colors pink in no time, drags show themselves from their best side, barbie got a lot of competition. This time we thought it might be nice for a change to picture all those beautifully and pink dressed (wo)men.
Just to celebrate freedom and the fact you can be you.

It was quite hectic backstage at the Edith & Ella-show sponsored by Volvo. Designer Line Markvardsen wanted to show a large collection and that required quite some hands to dress the models, mix the outfits and get hair & make-up done. The result was a happy, lighthearted show with a finale of dancing models.
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.
