Costume National Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010
The Costume National Homme collection was about travellers and curious adventurers. According to us it was more about new wave, eighties and small suits for older boys. Lots of white, black and grey with a hint of green, a small silhouet and ankleboots.
Zegna Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010
Ermenegildo Zegna represented the feeling that was all over the Pitti Uomo: a need for new, different business-suits. Less formal and strict, more casual and colorful. The label managed to fill that need for a large part.

Emma Watson for Burberry
The British actress Emma Watson not only stars in the latest Harry Potter, but she is also the face in the new Burberry autumn-campaign. The campaign was shot at Westminister in London by Mario Testino. And according to Burberry’s creative director Christopher Bailey Watson represents classic beauty and a modern edge. The pictures look moody with that typical Burberry-mix of cool, British and classic.

The location for the graduationshow of Willem de Kooning Academy was typical Rotterdam: the Schiecentrale in trendy Lloyd-district. Raw, industrial, full of energy. The collections also represented that atmosphere, with focus on construction, shape and neutral colors.
Graduationshows 2009, #1 The Hague

The Royal Academy of Art in The Hague is the first academy this year to present the graduation-collections of their fashionstudents. There were some strong collections, with focus on shapes and volumes, bright colors, fabrics and personal statements. It was the first time we saw influences from Bas Kosters and Gareth Pugh. And that’s a compliment !
Bas Kosters: Freedom Collection
There was something new about Bas Kosters’ womenswear-collection for 2010. The dresses, pants and coats he showed yesterday at Paradiso in Amsterdam seemed more refined, happier and free. His previous collections always had a hint of anger, protest and cartoons, but somehow Bas took a few steps forward now. What he showed yesterday was wearable, beautiful in his own way and colorful. It made us laugh, feel happy and reminded us of our careless childhood-moments. The colors! That glitter! The clogs! The signature Kosters-prints! It felt like a serious ready to wear-collection. And he really made us forget that nasty crisis.
Arnhem celebrates fashion
Since the opening of the Arnhem Modebiennale 2009 last friday princess Maxima finally deserves the title ‘fashion princess’. It was the first time she chose Dutch fashion – one of Jan Taminiau’s signature mailbag-jackets – for an official event. And we spotted even more enthousiastic fans of Dutch fashion, like Medy van der Laan dressed from head to toe in Viktor & Rolf NO-collection or the major of Arnhem in People of the Labyrinths. They made us feel proud! And please, go and see the exhibition in Arnhem. It’s beautiful, funny, fashionable, avantgarde and celebrates fashion in every part. The Biennale closes at july 6th 2009.
Fantastic! Man

The extraordinary but oh so intelligent magazine Fantastic Man is probably the first magazine ever to have its own perfume. Founders Gert Jonkers and Jop van Bennekom launched their little baby – which they created together with perfumer Ben Gorham of Byredo Parfums – last monday in Paris. And of course, it was no ordinary launch! It was an intimite moment where you could smell the fragrance in a private room by sniffing a blindfolded man’s wrist and neck. Hmmmm! This Fantastic Man smelled like a fresh summermorning in Italy: bergamot, lavender and a warm, mysterious hint of patchouli. Delicate and classic with a twist. Although it’s an eau de cologne it stays with you for hours. We cannot wait until they present their own collection of clothes……
