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 times in which beach hair was cool, seem to be over. Your hair needs to be soaking wet. If you wanna follow this latest trend, that is.
Make it look short and sleek like the models’ hair at Gucci, Caroline Herrera and Kenzo. Or opt for messy like Rag & Bone and Bottega Veneta.
Throw some paint in your hair like Alexander Wang did with his girls or create the perfect (wet) bun. Whatever you do; put a lot of product in your hair to make it look Wowing-Wet!
Beauty Trend SS2011: Right In The Middle

Going for a chique & sophisticated look? Than this middle parting is your new best friend. It also so happens to be one of the big hair trends for this summer.
Anna Sui, Blumarine, D&G, Stella McCartney, Valentino, Calvin Klein and many others gave their model a perfect middle parting. And while some of the girls wore their hair down, others combined the parting with a bun or ponytail (Blugirl, Costume, Hermes, Leonard).
This trend is great for women of all ages and can be worn tight as well as a little more loose. If you’re afraid the parting will get all messed up during the day, use some wax or hair spray to keep it in place.
Whether you’re a blonde, brown or redhead; this trend looks good with any kind of hair color. Check out our gallery below for some great examples.

This season the greatest fashion houses proved that you do can more with your hair than just wear it in a ponytail or a bun. The most artistic hair creations were shown on the runway.
Like the Byblos curls on top of the models’ heads, the braids at Erdem, Ungaro and CNC, or the old fashioned hairdo at Prada. Not to mentions the basket-weave hair at Alexander McQueen and the gold-sprayed curls at Dior.
Every season new hairdo’s are created by the best hair professionals in the world. Hours and hours are spend on the most artistic styles. Of course a lot of extensions, weaves and other kinds of fake hair are needed, but the result is always flawless.
A good hairdo really does complete a model’s look and besides colors, shape and print of the clothes it is often also a hairdo that can remind someone of a certain collection. And besides all that these hairstyles are a lot of fun to watch!

When it comes to beauty your lips are the focus point this summer. Gucci, Lacoste, Jil Sander and Diane von Furstenberg all let their models’ lips stand out on the runway.
Judging from the looks of their catwalk beauties there’s no way to better accentuate your lips than by adding some color. Here are some tips on how to create the best looking lips:
- Make sure they’re bright and fully colored.
- Choose your lipstick color out of a range of hues varying from orange to deep pink.
- Get a little bronzed; it will make your lips look even better
- Mix ‘n match the color of your lipstick with the color of your nail polish
- Keep the rest of your make-up sober & simple
Just study the images below and choose your favorite color.
Trend Report SS2011: To Brow Or Not To Brow

If we’re talking eye brows there are two major trends right now. Either you go with the bold and hairy brow, or you bleach to whole thing and make it (almost) disappear.
During fashion season these two big trends alternated each other on the runway. Alexander Wang, Blumarine, Erdem, Valentino, Marc Jacobs, Nina Ricci and Giambattista Valli went for the bleached brow. As where Prada, Ungaro, Stella McCartney, Armani, Dior and Gucci presented the bold brow.
Both are, of course, a bit extreme. But if you’re gonna have to choose between one or the other; the safest choice would be the thicker brow. Which means as much as: don’t pluck too much. Go for a natural full brow and remove only the most annoying little hairs between your eye brows; preventing the unit-brow look.
Look at these photos for some brow-inspiration.
