MBFWA edition SS2018, this was Day 03

A day filled with interesting shows of young designers and the opening of the Future Generation exhibition Eutopia.

Schepers Bosman Catwalk Fashion Show MBFWA SS2018

Checks on checks on checks; for their third collection Sanne Schepers en Anne Bosman came up with an interesting selection of layered checked looks. An instrumental ‘What do you mean’ from the speakers and their models walked their rounded catwalk alongside the audience. They sported checked shorts, shirts, jackets that appeared plain in the beginning, but got more and more interesting towards the end of the show.

By the time a guy in neon green passed by it was impossible to tell one piece of clothing from the other. That’s how intertwined the items were. Asymmetry, overlap and deconstruction worked together perfectly. Getting dressed in the morning might be a bit of a hassle, but hey, jaw dropping attire guaranteed.

Inspired by American modernists Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) en John Chamberlain (1927-2011) who were praised for their 3D assembly-art Schepers Bosman tried to make the audience portray fashion in a different way. Almost as a piece of art. Mission accomplished we’d say; these designs were not just beautiful to wear but also fascinating to look at.

Botter Catwalk Fashion Show MBFWA SS2018

Botter might only just have graduated (in Antwerp at the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten), there’s no stopping him. After having showed at New York Fashion Week last year he presented his graduation collection, which already made him win five different Belgian awards, in Amsterdam today. Tropical vibes and Sting’s song Fragile from the speakers and Botter’s men appeared, ready to make a statement. Inflatable fish and multiple caps on their heads, fishnet tied around their arms and tossed over their bodies, a Shell logo at sight and you too can do the math. Botter’s message was about polluted oceans and beaches. And even though this political message was loud the designer’s vision on fashion spoke out too. It was that of oversized suits, sweaters, stripes and beautifully mixed colors.

Frontrow MBFWA SS018, Day 03

Dennis Diem Catwalk Fashion Show MBFWA SS2018

A special show for Dennis Diem this Saturday evening. With his collection Les Antoinettes the designer celebrates his ten year anniversary. Les Antoinettes tells the story of the life of Dennis Diem’s ultimate muse Marie-Antoinette divided into five different periods; nude, pearl, black, red blood and gold. A collection that brings everything that ever inspired and fascinated Dennis Diem together. Traditional fashion craftmanship, the special role of women, the red carpet.. And did you know Dennis Diem used Marie-Antoinette’s original sizes as a blueprint for all his corsets?

With this collection Diem brought Marie-Antoinette to a contemporary Hollywood-setting (a place where one of Dennis Diem’s current muses, Dorith Mous, is a regular red carpet guest). He did so by creating all the gowns she would have worn in the time of age. From a floor sweeping satin duchesse nude number to a dramatic black tule gown onto statement shiny red and a golden body hugging dress. All creations worn with the highest of heels in which the models walked the runway, accompanied by violin music.

Diem used his signature gilded scales, hand cut silks with baroque patterns, embroideries with fresh water pearls en shelves. And almost all of it was handcrafted, taking Diem and his team three months to cut out sequins, gild them in 23carat gold and manually add them to the designs. Designs with an absolute Hollywood feeling, but if you took a closer look, with extra detailing, beautiful craftsmanship and the tragic story of Marie-Antoinette all hidden in there.
