18 Wedding Proof Dresses

Summer summer summer time! Everyone on our Instagram feed is either on holiday somewhere far away or attending a summer wedding abroad. And while we’re pretending not to be just a tiny bit of envious we spent our hours back at the office selecting the very best of summer wedding proof dresses. For every lady with a summer wedding (and the dresscode stress that comes with it) coming up. To use as inspiration or daydream about (like we’re doing right now).

When it comes to designer dresses that are worth attending summer weddings in, Chloé is your go to brand. It was hard to pick our favorite of all those powdery pink creations. Other brands included Dolce & Gabbana, Carolina Herrera, Lanvin and Jason Wu. You might think there are tons of options out there. But picking the right wedding proof dress isn’t all that easy. At all. White dresses are, of course, excluded. And then there are the unwritten rules of not choosing anything too daring or sexy. You don’t want to upstage the bride (DelPozo), show too much skin (Versace) or steal the brides thunder by opting for anything too bright/crazy (Moschino).

So keep it classy. Like Marni (minus the hipbags), like those embellished nude numbers at Prada, like those colourful sheer dresses at Rochas or those long and lean gowns at Valentino, the most modest of them all.

Have a great summer, a great wedding. And do catch the bouquet!

 

Trend 2017: Gender Blending

Gender blending is a big theme this year. In fashion, but also in life in general. Boundaries are fading, lines are becoming blurred. The concept of his and her is starting to become more vague. We´re all humans and we should all be able to express ourselves the way we want to and just enjoy life. A motto that works particularly well in fashion, where male and female wardrobes are being mixed up for seasons now and the unisex concept has been around for ages. At the menswear collection presentations this June it became clear that guys and girls can perfectly dress alike. A couples closet with items for both of the lovers. The catwalk images from the likes of Balmain, Dsquared, Raeburn and Paul Smith say it all: twinning is winning!

Summer Catwalk Trend 2017: Sucker for Sock-Boots

If there’s one boot on every fashion lovers mind ever since the ready to wear collection presentations it’s that monocolor Balenciaga sock-boot. It might look like a joke to those who don’t work in fashion. It might be hard to work into your everyday looks. And it might be pricey ($995). It still is without a doubt the boot of the moment (no wonder every fast fashion retailer is coming up with it’s own lookalike). Very Instagrammable and picture perfect guaranteed for any fashion magazine. Plus you’ll be rocking them into the fall season as well. Yet we’ve collected some extra summer boots from the likes of Victoria Beckham (statement making), Fendi (delicate) and Rodarte (though). Not your typical festival booties, but absolute statement makers. Boots to strut around on or dance the night away. Boots to make you feel extra special and boots made for walking. For those colder summer days when sandals just don’t work. It’s a booty call!

Summer Streetwear Trend 2017: Pink Life

Pink walls, pink plates, pink velvet couches, pink cars, pink skies, pink hair, pink outfits. Slowly but surely we’re turning everything around us in one giant pink bubble. And really, who wouldn’t love a daily dose of pink? The guys and girls we spotted this summer, during Amsterdam Fashion Week and the menswear shows in Paris sure knew how to pull off the color du moment. Some wore just a touch of faded pink, others went all out with vibrant magenta hues from head to toe. And that girl with the leopard printed pink hair was just everything and perfectly symbolizes what this summer trend stands for. Pink for president. #pinklife

Frontrow MBFWA SS018, Day 04

Who were there at MBFWA day 4, the final day of this 27th edition of the Mercedes-Benz Amsterdam fashion week? Here’s a selection of our front row images.

Maison the Faux Catwalk Fashion Show MBFWA SS2018

Before we begin, can we please take your name?
No, not your given name; the name you wish to use post-reincarnation.

Maison the Faux once again welcomed us in a spectacular show environment. This time around they were ready to take us to another level, another life even. This was not a spa (although the futuristic tanning systems might give that idea) and it was definitely not an office. This was FAUXmosapien, an odyssey, a journey of reinvention that begins with incubation. This was an opportunity to engineer a new tomorrow. Radiation that gives you more than a glow.

What a way to end this edition of the Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam. With the bright color changing backdrop and the runway filled with tanning systems it really felt as if we’d stepped on board of a space ship, ready to start a new chapter at whatever planet was waiting for us when we’d come out.

Our wardrobe for the life that was waiting for us was pastel shaded, a nice contrast with the neon lights of the decor. Stripes, metallics and tweed fabrics with frayed ends were the main themes. And as guys and girls sporting skirts, dresses, coats and skimpy bikini’s with extraordinary headpieces had followed up on each other the finale piece was, yep, you guessed it, a shiny bridal gown, worn by a guy in fluffy slippers. Cause even in another life you’d still want to tie the knot in style, right?

In September the Arnhem based fashion house (by Joris Suk and Tessa de Boer) will present this collection at New York Fashion Week. We’re glad we got the ultimate preview. The perfect way to end this edition of MBFWA.

Out with a bang!

Political Runway Catwalk Fashion Show MBFWA SS2018

If there ever was a stereotypical model, that type is complete lost by now. The opening show, Das Leben am Haverkamp sure set the mood for the rest of the week, so we’ve seen all types of people sporting the latest designs on the Amsterdam runway this week. At Politcal Catwalk 2017 politicians walked the walk, one eye brow colored, wearing pieces created by around twenty youngsters with the help of designers like Sepehr Maghsoudi and Bas Kosters. Those politicians included Gerolf Bouwmeester, (current Gemeenteraadslid Amsterdam and future major Heusden), Arda Gerkens (Eerste Kamerlid) Suzanne Kröger (Tweede Kamerlid), Sadnra Doevendans (Provinciale Staten), Ilana Rooderkerk (Stadsdeelraad Amsterdam West), Marja Ruigrok (Gemeenteraadslid Amsterdam), Kirsten van den Hul (Tweede Kamerlid), Michel Rog (Tweede Kamerlid), Diederik Boomsma (Gemeenteraadslid Amsterdam) and Femke Roosma (Gemeenteraadslid Amsterdam). All of whom happily put aside their sober office attires to rock something more colorful. Rainbow colored as a matter of fact. The collection even included a wedding dress, worn by Suzanne Kröger (Tweede Kamerlid Groen Links). But the true message of this show wasn’t any of colors or trends it was about diversity and sustainability. And having some guts, of course.

Jan Cerny Catwalk Fashion Show MBFWA SS2018

Amsterdam Fashion Week has given artists and young designers all around the world a chance to present their work. Today Czech designer Jan Cerny, who is a student at the Thomas Bata University Zlin took the stage to show us his edgy menswear in front of an all green backdrop. He came up with recreations of iconic menswear pieces like the trench coat, the hoodie and the leather jacket. He gave those pieces of contrasting materials color, tie dye effects, sequins. He tore them apart and put them back together. By doing so he’s caught the eye of the international media. We’re curious what his next move is going to be.
