Liselore Frowijn Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam Fashion Week

On Sunday Liselore Frowijn’s online store launched her first ‘See now, Buy now’ capsule collection: #TheNewCluster. A selection of wax-printed fabric garments she showed during her pre-fall 2017 collection presentation at Amsterdam Fashion Week. A collection for both men and women that took us on a trip to utopian cities inspired by hypothetical landscapes Dutch artist Alfred Eikelenboom created. Think a cacophony of colors and busy, nature inspired VLISCO prints with an urban (beanies, hoodies, parkas) twist. Items everyone in the audience was able to buy immediately after the show as this was an immediate fashion experiment. A direction Liselore will probably continue:“In bringing the factory to the runway, my team and I feel more responsible about our client. We have never felt so connected to the shifting needs and expectations of today’s consumer”, she stated.

Sue Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam Fashion Week

Remember the seated fashion show we wrote about half a year ago? They were back this Sunday with a brand new Sue collection. A contemporary, wearable collection in line with current trends. Trends like denim with patches, sportive oversized sweaters, hoodies, retro aviator glasses, star prints, sailor caps, bandanas, leopard prints, berrets and studded leather. Items any young woman would look cool & collected in, yet adjusted to the ladies in a wheel chair. Very high street, a collection of what’s hot right now ready to be shot, shared and tagged on Instagram.

MBFWA january 2017, this was Day 03

Another day full of fashion at the third day of MBFWA january 2017. Two challenging experiences, some beautiful collections and a finale with a bang! at Spijkers&Spijkers.

Streetfashion MBFWA FW17, Day 03

What are you wearing during the fashionweeks? Your Gucci-shoes, that vintage Prada or your latest Vetements-denim? Maybe we’ll spot you in Paris, Milan, New York or Amsterdam. During the fashionweeks we refresh our streetwear posts regularly. We don’t judge, we’re not the fashion-police, we just enjoy fashion and your own personal style. Next stop: MBFWA fall 2017.

SIS by Spijkers en Spijkers Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam Fashion Week

For fall/winter 2017/2018 the Spijkers en Spijkers sisters were inspired by the images of and stories about Studio 54, a big New York nightclub that was at it’s peek around the seventies and has been a source of inspiration for many designers. This lead to a great diversity of both color and materials used on signature Spijkers en Spijkers pieces like graphic dresses, blouses, skirts and cardigans. Lurex Ajour knits with stripes, jacquards with flame patterns and wild graffiti prints as well as pop art prints with the words ‘Revolution’ and ‘Love’ gave the designs a certain seventies feeling. Brand new were the jeans that turned out to be part of label’s latest denim collection. A complete line up of models dressed in a nude T-shirt (spelling the words FITIN&STANDOUT) and one of the new denim jeans made sure this SPIJKERS launch didn’t get unnoticed. And well.. they nailed it. But those audience members planning on packing up after that denim finale had to have some more patience, since the show wasn’t quite over yet… In fact, they were in for a treat as the complete Gashouder was turned into one gigantic pop-up mansion party (a preview of the L.A. inspired DILLIH party scheduled for the 4th of March). Think: chandeliers, dancers, balloons, a pop-up bar and Joost van Bellen in his DJ booth spinning some disco classics. As all show attendees were invited onto the catwalk -turned-dancefloor the party could really get started. And like all those epic Saturday nights at Studio 54 decades ago it would become a night to remember…

ASTRID ELISEE ft. Mick Keus Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam Fashion Week

 

It was Astrid Elisees first time showing at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Amsterdam but the Dutch designer, who previously lived in and worked from Bali, didn’t fail to impress. She presented a collection divided into three categories (key, classics and limited). The same way someone would divide his/her own wardrobe. A silk jumpsuit belonged in the Key-item category, while a boyfriend T-shirt would be a classic and one of the limited pieces would have been a graphic printed suit. Elisees designs are all about wearability and sustainability, so the silhouette is quite loose and the sustainable silk she uses is of a high quality and sand washed. The overall feeling of the collection was classic and very feminine. Designs most of the Dutch women would feel comfortable and beautiful in, so this won`t be the last thing you`ve heard from Astrid Elisee.

 

 

Ala Blanka by Anbasja Blanken Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam Fashion Week

Ala Blanka wasn’t your average womenswear catwalk show. The show was evolved around luxury trousers Anbasja Blanken has been focusing on as a designer. And so her collection visualised the shape and movement of a selection of some good looking pants designed for strong, elegant women. Anbasja combined soft pastel shades with special structured fabrics. Inpspired by dance influences from ‘la danseuse de la Belle Epoque’ she came up with sheer pants, shiny pants, embroidered pants, pleated pants and peplum pants. All based around the idea that a design should elegantly move together with the body and all of them made a definite fashion statement. The finale piece, a pair of bridal trousers looked so ravishingly chic many women might consider ditching the classic white dress for their marriage after tonight.

Bound Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam Fashion Week

Bound Amsterdam founders Maras Rejaän and Sheila Lopes Afonso were inspired by a Japanese film for their ‘Class of 2017’ collection, their third collection since they founded their brand in 2014. They turned influences from the styling and the characters into clean, minimalistic pieces.

As the show started two girls dressed in menswear looks appeared from behind a giant wall of speakers. They casually walked the runway with a cool attitude making way for the eighteen menswear (yet unisex) looks that followed. Nothing too trendy or hype sensitive, as you’d expect from a anti fast fashion brand. Just solid, quite timeless pieces made with qualitative materials.

A heavy army green overall looked both cool and comfy. Same goes for a beige colored knitted coat. The pinstripe suit and the woolen pants paired with turtle neck and suspenders belong in the classic menswear corner. Outfits that have proved to stand the test of time and will impress streetstyle photogs as well as relatives. And that might just all we’re looking for in a menswear fashion brand these days.
