Find your inner Amazon with jewellery by IVY & LIV
A couple of months ago, two friends called Isabella and Fleur decided to start a jewellery brand. Inspired by female strength, mythical stories and in particular the Amazons they designed a new line, which represents everything we love about being a woman. (..more)
Nata Ryzh wants you to be ‘zen’ and stylish
Now there are some things that I wish I could pull off but can't. Nata Ryzh's collection is one of those things. Sure, there are some pieces that could work (the less bohemian ones in the beginning), but that seventies vibe never really did the trick for me, unfortunately. I do think everybody else should wear it, and make the streets of Amsterdam an even better and happier place to look at (while making me green with envy). (..more)
Melissa Siegrist and her candy stripers
Well, it seemed like Amsterdam Fashion Week had a little somethin’ somethin’ for me in store on my birthday. The men’s shows were planned all day long, what a treat! Remember that episode from Sex and the City where Big has the heart surgery and Carrie shows up wearing a candy striper outfit? That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw Melissa Siegrist’s line. Or maybe I just wanted a personal, male nurse. Also very possible. (..more)
Dorhout Mees’ wearable poetry
Fashion shows tend to work on just a couple of the senses, but Dorhout Mees added one: smell. All the pieces in the show had their own scent. That might strike you as a bit odd, but the story behind this collection is truly magnificent. (..more)
Anne de Grijff, origami addict or folding genius?
Anne de Grijff is known for her graphical design. Graphical, not graphic like Nieuw Jurk. This collection was inspired by the way Dutch women in the 18th century presented themselves to the outside world. But there was nothing old fashioned about the show. (..more)
A striking architectural crossover in fashion by Marga Weimans
Ever since her show last year, where Marga Weimans presented a dress containing cellphones, I've been interested in the development of this talented designer/artist. It seems that she has made all the right choices for her new collection 'AERIAL'. (..more)
When it comes to Claes Iversen, rain is definitely a good thing
Jul 14, 2013 | by Sabrina | Fashion, Photos I'm Sabrina, a 24 year old walking example of 'Shit Girls Say'. I like fashion, literature, cats, junk food, horror movies and interior design even though my house is always a mess. Going on epic adventures is my favorite thing to do, so if you have any tips about these things: e-mail me! sabrina@overdose.am Claes Iversen is always somewhat of a fashion week highlight for me. His collections are very feminine and wearable, while maintaining a high fashion ‘feeling’. Last year I enjoyed the florals a lot but this year, the designer was inspired by something completely different. (..more)
iNDiViDUALS’ slaughterhouse at Amsterdam Fashion Week
The brand of the Amsterdam Fashion Institute once again had something different in store for its guests. A normal catwalk? Don't be silly. Guests were directed to the middle of the Transformatorhuis area, surrounded by fences as if they were trapped. The models walked around the audience, sometimes pausing and gazing into the crowd. It would soon become clear why they chose this way of showing their collection.. (..more)
