Marloes Blaas Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam FW2011
January 28, 2011 by Jetty
Filed under Amsterdam, Fashion, Featured Items
Marloes Blaas showed at the Zuiveringshal today, a bigger show area, so a great step for her. The collection called ‘a woman’s merit’ was inspired by the forties and had lots of world war references in it.
The show started with heavy materials like old army tents, leather and chunky knits (capes and pants). Yet there were some airy, feminine items too, like blouses and jumpsuits. Marloes used old maps from the world war too and in that way recycled her materials like people did in the forties.
Check our show preview for more background information on the show of Marloes Blaas.

Indiviuals Catwalk Fashion Show Amsterdam FW2011
January 27, 2011 by Jetty

The individuals fashion show was all about taking a leap of faith. The moment when morals collapse and barriers fade. As adrenaline kicks in, everything turns black.
And there indeed was a lot of black in the collection (named La Petite Mort), mixed with some shades of red/orange. It felt kind of Gothic, especially combined with the dark eyes and the ‘hairy’ shoes.
Airy fabrics and corset-like details made the designs look super feminine. Plus strong, raised shoulders made up for some powerful details.
Individuals
Individuals is run by a changing collective of young creatives. By combining this talent an inspiring story can be told. Individuals showed it’s tenth collection today.

The Green Fashion Competition Fashion Show Amsterdam

Filed under Fashion, Featured Items
Today Elsien Gringhuis won the first price (25.000 euro) during the Green Fashion Competition on behalf of the Dutch ministry. The second price (15.000 euro) went to OAT.
Eight finalists competed against each other in the finale of the Green Fashion Competition. They had to come up with a good business plan that was also eco-friendly.
Elsien won the first price, because as a young designer she managed to create a signature style in a very short period of time. She was also honored because she combines futuristic design with respect for the environment.
OAT, who sent half naked models down the runway, wearing nothing more than a pair of knickers, is known for it’s clean shoe designs made out of sustainable materials. The sneakers of this brand do not only look good but are beneficial to the environment as well.
Congrats to you both!!
