Yvonne Kwok wins Lichting 2012

Yvonne Kwok is today’s winner of the G-Star RAW Talent Award. The four international Lichting judges ( Orsola de Castro, Marieke van Dongen, Corinna Springer, Margareta van den Bosch) chose her colorful carnaval inspired collection over the thirteen other collections that were presented tonight. Yvonne wins a money price of 10.000 euro and will travel to Berlin with G-Star to participate in their show during Berlin Fashion Week upcoming January.
Yvonne on her collection: “The translation to my collection is a bombastic use of color. Warm tones combined with bright accents and pastels are inspired by the colors of organs. The strained strings stand for the restriction and the folding reflects the humor where some parts of the body are being blown up. Also by playing with the different placements of the limbs from the marionette it’s being taken out of context. The use of neoprene gives a fleshy effect and refers to how artist Folkert de Jong calls it: “gebakken lucht”, which means “nonsense”. The use of cardboard and brads are inspired by the paper doll, which gives the collection that handcrafted feeling that I was looking for.”
Lichting 2012, the sixth edition, is a project of HTNK, Amsterdam Fashion Week, Premsela and G-star Raw.
Frontrow at Lichting 2011 – AIFW SS2012
How was sitting where at Lichting 2011, that was the question. So many prominent guests and so little frontrow-seats. But hey, it’s not the seat that makes you important it’s the fact you’re invited!
G-Star Raw Award lichting 2011
A little extra hairspray? Check. Shoes? Check. Hats? Check. Bowtie? Check. The preparations of the G-star Raw Lichting 2011 show went very smoothly. Sanne Schepens blew the judges away with her twinset collection and won the award. We were there when she heard the good news and we’ve never seen anyone more excited. Sanne was filled with joy and couldn’t stop smiling. And oops! She almost forgot she had to go back on stage…

There was order in chaos backstage at Lichting 2011. Getting fourteen different collections prepared and all kinds of models in make up and dressed required special skills from the backstage-team. But in the end it all worked out fine. The result was a beautiful, fast show.

Sanne Schepers wins Lichting 2011
Sanne Schepers is the winner of Lichting 2011 and wins the G-star Raw Talent Award! On Thursday night Sanne was named the most promising young new Dutch talent out of fourteen fashion graduates. Sanne won a price of 10.000 euro and has the honor to be part of the G-star Raw catwalk presentation in Berlin.
An international jury existing of Shelly Fox (Parsons NYC), stylist Catherine Baba (Vogue, Chanel, Balmain), Romain Brau en Anna Kushnerova (founders of the Antwerp fashion store RA13) and Michael van der Ham chose Sanne as the winner of 2011. They praised her for her individual style and the new principle Sanne introduced in fashion.
Sanne used the idea of a twinset and came up with a very innovative design concept which makes it possible to wear one piece of clothing in four different ways. Her silhouettes might have been simple; this idea and the way in which she brought it to life are very promising.
