Lichting 2011 backstage at AIFW SS2012

There was order in chaos backstage at Lichting 2011. Getting fourteen different collections prepared and all kinds of models in make up and dressed required special skills from the backstage-team. But in the end it all worked out fine. The result was a beautiful, fast show.

Where would we be at AIFW without the delicious food of Hot Kitchen, the cateringservice (and much more – from concepts to events) of cook Caspar Bürgi and Ward van der Graaf?  Our start of the day would be dull without the the friendly talks with Elsbeth at the counter. It’s always a happy start of the day.

Meet – from left to right standing – Elsbeth Bürgi, Caspar Bürgi, Ward van der Graaf. Sitting in front: Driss Bgharnati and Mohammed Hayi.

Sanne Schepers wins Lichting 2011

Sanne Schepers is the winner of Lichting 2011 and wins the G-star Raw Talent Award! On Thursday night Sanne was named the most promising young new Dutch talent out of fourteen fashion graduates. Sanne won a price of 10.000 euro and has the honor to be part of the G-star Raw catwalk presentation in Berlin.

An international jury existing of Shelly Fox (Parsons NYC), stylist Catherine Baba (Vogue, Chanel, Balmain), Romain Brau en Anna Kushnerova (founders of the Antwerp fashion store RA13) and Michael van der Ham chose Sanne as the winner of 2011. They praised her for her individual style and the new principle Sanne introduced in fashion.

Sanne used the idea of a twinset and came up with a very innovative design concept which makes it possible to wear one piece of clothing in four different ways. Her silhouettes might have been simple; this idea and the way in which she brought it to life are very promising.

The rain caused serious styling-problems during the second day of Amsterdam International Fashion Week. Some people tried to make something of their rainwear, others were more lucky and caught a dry moment.

So here’s our first streetwearpost at the second day of AIFW. And remember: we’re not the fashionpolice. We enjoy your own personal style.
