Marije de Haan is the winner of Lichting 2010

Tonight fourteen different students from seven different academies presented their graduation collections during Amsteram Fashion Week. They showed their finest work in front of a large fashion audience and in front an international jury. That jury had to decide which one of the students had the best collection.

After a long catwalkshow and some wise deliberation the jury named Marije de Haan as the winner of Lichting 2010. With her menswear collection named ‘flatliners’ Marije wins a money prize of 10.000 and gets a chance to work with G-star during the next New York Fashion Week. With the money she would like to expand her collection.

Marije studied at the Royal Academie of Arts in the Hague. Her menswear collection was inspired by crime-scene photography from the beginning of the twentieth century.

We wish her all the best of luck and hope to hear more from this new designtalent very soon!

Ado les Scents by Hyun Yeu Catwalk Fashion Show SS2011

Designer Hyun Yeu told us he was pretty nervous before today’s show. But there really was no need for that. For the third time Hyun Yeu proved he’s a talented designer who really has something to offer.

Today’s collection was inspired by the character of King Edward VIII, who gave up the English throne for a divorced American Woman. He named the collection The King Is Helpless. This inspiration was visible through looks that were vulnerable and romantic at the same time.

Yeu designed round shoulders, slightly puffy ¾ sleeves and little pleats in unexpected places. The clothes were made out of lightweight cottons, summer wools, silks and hi-tech fabrics. There were both casual and formal pieces in the collection.

Casual were the shorts, t-shirts and sport jackets, while suits (with checks), tailcoats and trenchcoats felt more formal. Several blouses were almost transparent and the shorts made of nylon resembled leather. All clothes came in pale green, light blue, navy, black and white, perfect shades for summer.

All looks were tailored really well. Especially the pants, the blouses and the navy trenchcoat looked stunning. Tomorrow Hyun Yeu will show a small womenswear collection. Since we loved the show today, we’re very curious about tomorrow. Will Yeu’s womenswear be just as good as his menswear line?

Une petite robe noire Catwalk Fashion Show SS2011

With her latest collection designer Indra Welman in fact released a best of collection straight away. She took the concept of the little black dress she’s so fond of and created a whole collection around it.

Each one of the little black dresses was born from a unique source of inspiration. And though sensuality is the main motive for any little black dress, Indra Welman redefined what is considered sexy.

The models had shiny white lips and did some crazy feminine poses before they started walking the runway, a hand kiss or one leg in the air, for instance. Their black dresses had lots of details like fringes and ruffles.

Yet it was not all black dresses we saw. Some black hotpants, a green top and two beige dresses with black accents on them came by too. One of those beige dresses had the shape of underwear cut out in black and attached to the front.

Indra herself appeared on stage in one of her own dresses. She gracefully walked the runway and looked very proud.

MaryMe-JimmyPaul Catwalk Fashion Show SS2011

Marie Burlot and Jimmy Paul seemed to make fun of the fashion world big time today. Their collection JonBenet Ramsey (a beauty queen by which the designers were inspired) told the story of going to school for the first time, but felt more like an ode to Barbie.

All looks of the small collection were pink, purple and blue from head to toe. The shoes, the accessories, the make-up and the clothes all breathed Barbie.

The clothes had lots of volume and had fur and sequins all over them. The soundtrack of the show was the song ‘Gimme more’ from Britney Spears sang by someone else very false.

At the end of the show all curly haired models waved at the audience. The designers came on stage dressed up with masks and caps. It seemed like they didn’t take themselves too seriously. Yet they must have had a lot of fun making this collection and sure made the audience smile.

Heren van Koster Catwalk Fashion Show SS2011

Heren van Koster, the fashion label of designer Roos Koster presented it’s new summer collection today. It was the first collection that Roos presented under her own label as an independent designer.

The label, Heren van Koster, in which the silhouette plays a central role started it’s show with a short clip. In the clip we saw a man dressing himself in several Heren van Koster outfits. With every outfit he put on the name of that item appeared on screen (for instance the name ‘pikbroek’ – ‘cockpants’). A funny tune gave the video an extra comic twist.

The clothes Roos had designed were eye-catching, yet not very wearable. Male models with ponytails and black painted clown faces wore short top and jackets with pants that had remarkable crotches. They had tucked the legs of their pants in their boots. The clothes came by in red, white, brown-/purple-ish and yellow. They had all kinds of zippers and pockets.

Between the light summery stuff Roos showed some winter items as well. Several thick coats looked kinda cool, yet a little too hot for summer.

About Roos van Koster
Roos studied at AMFI and Artez. She presented her graduation collection in collaboration with FIA during the Amsterdam International Fashion Week in January 2009 and in Paris during the pret a porter in March 2009.

Nicolaas Catwalk Fashion Show SS2011

Project Catwalk participant Nicolaas Gerritsen (26) got a chance to show his work for the second time at the Amsterdam Fashion Week today. Yet it was his first independent show. His collection, named Edge, was inspired by the psychological ink stains of Rorschach as a symbol for and edgy woman. Nicolaas described her as a hot mess.

She first appeared in several sporty looks, in red and white. She wore the craziest sunglasses and structured jewelery. She looked lovely in two outfits decorated with large roses, one was a cream-colored dress, the other a black skirt. The woman even appeared in some leather looks with corset details.

And the name hot mess really applied when Nicolaas’ last look came on stage. It was a neon-colored skirt with some white tule underneath it. The model wore a black leather top with it.

About Nicolaas
Nicolaas was born in Amsterdam and grew up in Afrika. He studied at AMFI, Rietveld and Artez. Nicolaas was an intern at Derek Lam in New York. He showed during the Amsterdam Fashion Week in 2008, together with another designer. Nicolaas wants to design women’s clothes that men would love to look at.
