It was a smooth sailing operation backstage at Tony Cohen.

There is always a lot to see backstage, hairdressers and their sprays and brushes, make-up artists with their lipstick and pencils. And the models, waiting patiently as always.
Amsterdam Fashion Week SS2013, this was Day 4
The fourth day of Amsterdam fashion Week SS2013 was a quite relaxed day, with two interesting sessions of Vodafone Firestarters, a Salon-show of Winde Rienstra & Marije de Haan, the modern dandies of Sjaak Hullekes and the Gestuz-show.

The atmosphere backstage at Sjaak Hullekes was as special as frontstage. The designer seemed quite relaxed as he was dressing the models and added a finishing touch.

Those were quite impressive outfits Winde Rienstra presented, we noticed the details backstage. And at Marije de Haan the beauty-artists were busy getting the models tattoos. Take a look backstage yourself.

Winde Rienstra
Standing here for the fourth time, Winde Rienstra is not a new face anymore at Amsterdam fashion week. She’s slowly putting herself out there as one of the new great talents showing here. And so far, she’s doing a good job.
Rienstra’s work is known for the handcraft, strong details, graphic shapes and the fact that she’s not afraid to experiment with several and sometimes complicated materials. And that’s what she showed us again today. The show started with a video portraying the different materials she worked with for this collection in a kaleidoscopic way. We saw sequins, silk, wool, and even pieces of Lego. Materials with totally different characters, but Rienstra knows how to make them work together and how they can intensify each other. Soft and hard reunites effortlessly.
We saw some long, silk dresses in soft colors like white, pale blue and salmon combined with wooden keen-edged constructions and revised with embroidered details. A faux fur skirt had knitted flowers on both sides. And the shoes, made of Lego that made the models cradle sometimes, screamed structure.
Although her designs may not always be easy or comfortable to wear, it was a nice collection. Rienstra knows what she’s best in, but is not afraid to renew herself. And that’s what we like about her.

Marije de Haan
Uncommon runway models walked in this afternoon’s Marije de Haan fashion show. Bearded, tattooed, stout, short and old guys played the part of Marije de Haan’s sailor men. They sported sailor underwear, carried bottles of beer in leather sleeves in their hands and did in fact appear slightly drunk.
Marije created striped ‘underwear’ shorts, checked buttoned tops and what appeared to be two combinations between a cape and a blouse. Dutch flag details were visible on a leather-ish/fringed, three colored jacket, a knitted scarf and a top with a flag attached to it. One of the guys even wore a line of dirty, striped and checked red – white – blue flags around his neck.
Two tough bearded guys were dressed in the most adorable designs; one nude colored lace ensemble and a heart printed pair of pj’s. We can already picture them strolling around in the harbor on their Palladium boots on a Sunday morning.
“That can half up the sails that can swallow the moon. And he drinks, and he drinks, and he drinks once again.”
Amsterdam Fashion Week SS2013, this was Day 3
The third day of Amsterdam Fashion Week was a day full of shows. We enjoyed the Bas Kosters show a lot, especially with special guest Margreet Dolman. The roof went off the Zuiveringshal when Jan Boelo presented his collection accompanied with a (metal)hard rock soundtrack and everybody left happy laughing after the sizzling SIS-show of Spijkers & Spijkers. The LAB-shows were surprising too.
