For his new ss 2010 collection Claes Iversen found inspiration in surreal elements and the work of Rene Magritte. Classic menswear represents the hard, businesslike reality that’s a contrast towards the ever changing feminine forms. The Post-It-form is like Magritte’s apples, fishes and pipes – you’ll find it throughout the collection as a graphic element or as a symbol of connecting different techniques.
LEW Catwalk Fashion Show SS10
Kim Leemans and Merel Wicker met in 2001 at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and have been cooperating ever since then. In 2007 they decided to start their own label, LEW. The duo knows how to translate a concept into wearable clothes. They use eyecathing techniques, fresh mature colors and graphic shapes which create a refreshing and powerful image. Their ss2010 collection refers to the vibrant, continuous changing period that lies behind them.
Bas Kosters: Freedom Collection
There was something new about Bas Kosters’ womenswear-collection for 2010. The dresses, pants and coats he showed yesterday at Paradiso in Amsterdam seemed more refined, happier and free. His previous collections always had a hint of anger, protest and cartoons, but somehow Bas took a few steps forward now. What he showed yesterday was wearable, beautiful in his own way and colorful. It made us laugh, feel happy and reminded us of our careless childhood-moments. The colors! That glitter! The clogs! The signature Kosters-prints! It felt like a serious ready to wear-collection. And he really made us forget that nasty crisis.
