II By Claes Iversen Amsterdam Fashion Week fall/winter 2016/2017

Eleven couture pieces and his brand new, forth ready to wear collection had all fashion lovers drawn to Claes Iversen’s show at the Westergasfabriek on Friday night. And like with every previous show II by Claes Iversen didn’t fail to impress. Inspired by the sixties movie ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ the designer presented us with a beautifully colored (black, burgundy, olive, pink) yet slightly moody collection. True sixty style looks with graceful, flowy pieces in crêpe georgette, winter-y knits made of mohair, merino or cashmere as well as modern materials like neoprene and boiled wool. A babydoll silhouette (midi skirts and sweaters), eyecatching collars and heavy brows (in red and black) painted the f/w2016/2017 picture. Floral embroideries, shiny beads and a self-developed cube print gave the looks it’s typical Claes Iversen touch. The couture creations that followed were nothing less than breath taking. Eleven pieces designed within a beautiful light palette of white, rose, light blue and lilac, adorned with painted florals, crystals and pearls. Absolute dream designs that surely has many fashion minded Dutch ladies wish someone will go down on one knee rather sooner than later. Cause who could ever say no to that unbelievably gorgeous wedding gown that had stepped straight out of a modern fairytale and ended the show?
