Lichting 2011 backstage at AIFW SS2012
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.
Which crew are you? Hot Kitchen at AIFW
Where would we be at AIFW without the delicious food of Hot Kitchen, the cateringservice (and much more – from concepts to events) of cook Caspar Bürgi and Ward van der Graaf? Our start of the day would be dull without the the friendly talks with Elsbeth at the counter. It’s always a happy start of the day.
Meet – from left to right standing – Elsbeth Bürgi, Caspar Bürgi, Ward van der Graaf. Sitting in front: Driss Bgharnati and Mohammed Hayi.
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.

The rain caused serious styling-problems during the second day of Amsterdam International Fashion Week. Some people tried to make something of their rainwear, others were more lucky and caught a dry moment.
So here’s our first streetwearpost at the second day of AIFW. And remember: we’re not the fashionpolice. We enjoy your own personal style.
Outsider at AIFW SS2011, part 1
Photographer Nick Helderman is new to the world of fashion. He knows his way quite well in the music-scene, but is still an outsider to the wonderful, glamorous, intoxicating, exaggerated world of fashion. Peter Stigter invited his talented colleague to experience the Amsterdam International Fashion Week and try to capture his vision in images.
Nick Helderman lives in Amsterdam. He published in Het Parool, Glamcult and OOR. In 2010 he was nominated for the Popview/Lex van Rossen Award. You can look at his portfolio here
Which crew are you? M-PR at AIFW

Filed under AIFW, Amsterdam, Fashion Professionals, Featured Items, People
M-PR is the official public relations-team of the Amsterdam International Fashion Week and therefore not to miss. Without this fashion & lifestyle press-office – located in Amsterdam – the pressroom would be a mess and things wouldn’t work that smooth. They are also the constant factor behind one of the AIFW-partners Bart Maussen.
In front from left to right: Bianca Aslani, Jantien de Bruin, Isabel Fernandez, Bart Maussen, Aafke Geers and Ashna. In the back: Merel Hofstad and Jan Willem te Gussinklo Ohman.
Which crew are you? Frequin Producties at AIFW
Frequin Producties (the company of Louis and Barbara Frequin) is another crew behind the scenes at AIFW. A crew we can’t do without anymore, because they make the live streaming video happen! Without them it wouldn’t be possible to follow this fashionweek behind your computer.
From left to right: Jeroen, Louis, Barbara, Wouter with Kim and Steffi in the front.
SIS by Spijkers & Spijkers Backstage AIFW SS2012
It was a bright and sunny collection at SIS by Spijkers & Spijkers actually. The Dutch duo had the honor to open this edition of Amsterdam International Fashion Week. The models looked like glamorous beachqueens in their 20’s inspired outfits, hair and make-up. Faces were kept natural, with wet look lashes and long diva-like hair.

This edition of AIFW we would like to introduce the different crews behind the scenes. Without them this fashionweek would not work that smooth. No music, no food, no live stream video, no press-releases. Let’s start with our own crew: Team Peter Stigter.
