Tony Cohen Amsterdam Fashion Week Fall 2016

On Sunday night four days filled with fashion came to an end with the final show, that of Tony Cohen. The designer has been on the official programme for seasons now. So how could we wrap up fashion week without having seen his latest collection? Inspired by primary shapes (the circle, the square and the check) Tony got more in touch with his roots than ever before. With every season that passes his motto is changing more and more to ‘less is more’. Therewith putting more focus on the silhouette, materials and the finishing. Less fuss, less distraction and still every outfit had an obvious Tony Cohen signature. The moody menswear and womenswear looks were cut tight to the body, dark shaded (in black, grey, brown and a touch of red). Looks both tough as well as graceful (with statement jewelry pieces and chunky leather boots). A little more classic than before, with a focus on the waistline and a type of A-line silhouette. Long lean silhouettes in the mix with a few playful short dresses, leather and lace, fur and sheerness added some nice contrast. A hint of genderbleding too. This was Tony Cohen in it’s purest form so far. A great way to conclude MBAFW 2016!

Oilily Amsterdam Fashion Week Fall 2016

Different is beautiful if you ask Oilily. On Sunday night the Dutch fashion brand presented it’s fall/winter collection for next year, inspired by ethnic diversity. Diverse cultures, habits and preferences were translated into a bright colored feel good show. The upbeat collection was divided into three themes, a fresh take on the seventies, sportive luxury and a beautifully colored (in greens, reds and blues) selection. Each look worn with an optimistic and comfortable vibe. From the rainbow-colored co-ord to the Kimono inspired, belted and floral printed dress. Oilily might already be around for a while, there were lots of surprises throughout the collection. Color clashes (red and pink in the mix), material mixes (mohair and jacquard in one look), style clashes (a graphic printed woolen coat over a floral baby doll dress) and styling novelties (pleated pants, suspenders and chunky scarfs). Different and beautiful. And then there was a finally in which three drummers jammed along with DJ’s Sander Stenger and Joost van Bellen. A definite joyful experience, that had us all leaving with a smile and a note to ourselves to start wearing more color.

SNURK Amsterdam Fashion Week Fall 2016

SNURK is actually a label that designs bedsheets and -covers with a smile and an edge. The use of fake prints that look like knitwear, breakfast-toast, cardboard or a sidewalk made them even famous outside the Netherlands. So it’s no surprise the designteam decided to make a collection homewear out of the prints. And it is such a fun collection: cosy and comfy pyjamas, shirts and soft pants for the whole family. And with that typical twist and smile we know from SNURK. What a great start of the day!

It was the second time Futura presented their collection at Amsterdam Fashionweek. The designers sticked to their signature: workwear with a minimal look and slightly futuristic edge. This time in bold red, beige, black and white and large graphics. Overalls, jackets, shirts and pants were kept simple and straight, the details were drawing attention. Like color-blocking, sleeves in a different fabric, a pattern of small holes, big applications.

Kaho To’s collection Transdimensional was inspired by the movie ‘Under the Skin’, where aliens take over the human body.

Leave it up to Truus and Riet Spijkers to take care of our Saturday night entertainment. Once again they delighted us with yet another on point SIS by Spijkers en Spijkers collection. Discover Moon Tan, inspired by the moon and a trip to Shanghai the Arnhem based designers made earlier this year. Their muse: Ching Shih, a pirate and a princess of the Chinese Sea in the 18th century. Think: lots of color, graphic cuts and theme-inspired prints like an ikat pattern designed around Chinese landscapes and cube-like panters. Suits in large woolen tartan prints and lurex jacquards were followed by dresses made of extra soft crêpe de Chine, wool and satin. Even jeans and sweatshirts made their appearance. Finished off with XL mirror earrings, pendants, brooches, reflecting the catalk lights like the full moon. Creating ensembles both elegant and comfortable, suitable for both office and happy hours.
