Marloes Blaas Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam FW2011

Marloes Blaas showed at the Zuiveringshal today, a bigger show area, so a great step for her. The collection called ‘a woman’s merit’ was inspired by the forties and had lots of world war references in it.
The show started with heavy materials like old army tents, leather and chunky knits (capes and pants). Yet there were some airy, feminine items too, like blouses and jumpsuits. Marloes used old maps from the world war too and in that way recycled her materials like people did in the forties.
Check our show preview for more background information on the show of Marloes Blaas.

Bas Kosters Backstage AIFW FW2011
What a great show it was yesterday! And we really had a good time. Backstage the atmosphere was party-like, amazing paradise-birds were parading and colors were everywhere. The make-up artists did a great job as did the students who made the flowerdecorations.

The Bas Kosters fashion show was one great spectacle. Everyone was watching the show with a big smile on his face and how could you resist such great entertainment?
It all started with a clip featuring Bas Kosters’ face, in which his hair and make-up mutated all the time (35 different looks). Then his models came on carrying stuffed puppets and pushing a Bugaboo pram. The collection was bright and colorful and had everything to do with mutated animals.
The clothes looked super comfortable, as did the Palladium shoes. The music, a mix by DJ Joost van Bellen was insane, featuring the song ‘Da steht ein Pferd auf dem Flur’. After all outfits were shows Bas already received a BIG round of applause, but the show was not yet over…
..As a grande finale Bas Kosters and his boyfriend came on stage singing and dancing together with a group of dancing students with the most gorgeous exotic floral head pieces. The show was complete MADNESS and everyone had such a great time! Good job Bas!!!

SIS by Spijkers en Spijkers Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam FW2011

We saw some Fast Ladies on the runway at SIS by Spijkers en Spijkers. Wearing loose-fitting overalls (with lammy collars), knitted dresses, leather jackets and loose pants the girls rocked the show, inspired by the first women in race sport and aviation.
Truus and Riet Spijkers always felt that women should feel free and live up to their dreams, so they chose Amelia Earhart (the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean) as the muse of this new collection.
The silhouettes were very tailored, yet everything looked very comfortable and elegant. The shades of black, true blue, dreamblue, grey blue, ochre, ecru and light taupe worked together beautifully. The brand new ‘cloud print’ the sisters designed in red and blue felt like a modern camouflage print and looked fresh.
Congrats on your second SIS collection Spijkertjes!
Indiviuals Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam FW2011

The individuals fashion show was all about taking a leap of faith. The moment when morals collapse and barriers fade. As adrenaline kicks in, everything turns black.
And there indeed was a lot of black in the collection (named La Petite Mort), mixed with some shades of red/orange. It felt kind of Gothic, especially combined with the dark eyes and the ‘hairy’ shoes.
Airy fabrics and corset-like details made the designs look super feminine. Plus strong, raised shoulders made up for some powerful details.
Individuals
Individuals is run by a changing collective of young creatives. By combining this talent an inspiring story can be told. Individuals showed it’s tenth collection today.
