We were able to go backstage at Roberto Cavalli and watch the hair- and make-up team transforming the models in Cavalli-beauties. We actually spotted a new way of killing time at the models: reading thick novels. Our fashion-booklist will follow soon!
Highlights 14th edition AIFW FW2011
We did it again! We survived Amsterdam International Fashion Week, with more than 27 shows, presentations and party’s. We shot front-stage, backstage, street-wear, shows and soirees and we loved every minute of it.
More than 20.000 people attended the AIFW this time – amongst them a large group of international bloggers – and we hope they enjoyed themselves as much as we did. We did see some strong collections, beautifully dressed people and a lot of fashion-enthusiasm. We won’t forget the couture-show of Jan Taminiau or the colorful parade of Bas Kosters full with energy and fantasy. And we were surprised by the collection of Marloes Blaas and the sweet romantic style of Sage & Ivy. Die-hards like Tony Cohen and Addy van den Krommenacker demonstrated us what a real professional catwalk-show looks like. And talking about show: you don’t have to tell Supertrash anything about that. This was glamor tot the max!
And let’s not forget Spijkers & Spijkers, Monique Collignon, the LAB-shows, Ready to Fish by Ilja Visser, Huen Yeu, Velour, Elsien Gringhuis. And the Green Fashion Competition. This is how diverse and inventive Dutch fashion-design is.
Hunkemöller Backstage AIFW FW2011
Actually, it was a great collection of Hunkemöller. Classic with a twist, beautiful colors and a good styling. Backstage you could see the models had big fun and felt sensual yet strong in the lingerie. The bright red wigs added a punch to the whole performance.
Elsien Gringhuis Backstage AIFW FW2011
Backstage at Elsien Gringhuis people were gasping at the shoes of designer Rosanne Bergsma, the futuristic looking wedges in white an metal matched perfect with the collection of Gringhuis. As did the straight hair and make-up with focus at the eyebrow.
Impressions of AIFW FW2011 Day 4

Supertrash Backstage AIFW FW2011
The backstage-atmosphere at Supertrash was relaxed and cheerful. Everybody wanted the show o be a wonderful happening and they succeeded. The make-up was glamourous, colorful and shiny matching the sexy, sensual and strong collection.
Ready to Fish Backstage AIFW FW2011
The hair and colorful make up took some time to get ready backstage at Ready to Fish, the ready to wear-collection of Ilja Visser. Especially the braiding and curling, but the result was stunning and playful. The curly hair fitted perfectly with the theme of the collection.
Tony Cohen Backstage AIFW FW2011
It was busy backstage at Tony Cohen. Was it because two famous models were part of the show? Internationals Kim Feenstra and Kim Noorda walked the runway and showed their colleagues how to do that properly. Make up and hair had a glamourous yet edgy touch, and again we saw big braids – this time tied into a knot.
