Ordinary People Looking Extraordinary at STRAF_WERK
The sun was shining, the music was good and the people were shining as well. I think we can safely say that last Saturday was a good day for STRAF_WERK. Despite the busy entrance and long waiting lines in the beginning, everything turned for the best. (..more)
Ordinary People Looking Extraordinary at DGTL
Easter is definitely one of my favourite holidays. Besides eating lots of chocolate eggs there are way more things to do, however. DGTL started on April 3rd at night, and ended on Monday 5th in the morning. So that’s what I did, I swapped chocolate for music. (..more)

Festival season is on like Donkey Kong and thus the party peeps of the Dutchland are pimping themselves with the most fashionable festival survival gear possible. Overdose.am had a wee peek at this season’s festival catwalk and brings you a snapshot of last Friday’s favourite ensembles at PITCH. We also managed to catch one of our heroes and fashionman in disguise, the trumpet player of Fat Freddy’s Drop. (..more)

The summer has started again and with the temperature rising in our lovely city, the number of festivals are countless. But what should you wear to look good, but without looking like you’re trying too hard? I photographed a number of people at Amsterdam Open Air who have this down to an art. Enjoy and be inspired!

Ordinary People Looking Extraordinary at QRoute launch
I’m the kind of girl who loves to wander through vintage markets and browse through online stores for hours and hours. Urgency and convenience are not exactly the first words that pop into my mind when I think about shopping. But if you´re more of an impulsive shopper who loves to see and buy, the brand new Negen Straatjes QRoute app will probably find its way onto your phone (..more)

Ordinary People Looking Extraordinary #11
The use of scarves dates back as far as ancient Rome. The Romans were the first to use them, but only to wipe their neck and face from sweat in a hot climate. Later the scarf became a widely used fashion accessory worn by both men and women. And today I can hardly imagine a wardrobe without one. (..more)
Up Close #1 – Spring in Amsterdam
This week the sun broke through the clouds, allowing people to overflow terraces while leaving their winter coats at home. Everybody’s walking around with sunglasses on, women start to show off their legs in skirts and summer jackets are pulled out of the closet; it’s spring! Thanks to the rising temperatures people and their (extravagant) accessories are now uncovered, out in the open and much easier to spot. So, get inspired by these photos and enjoy the start of spring! (..more)
Ordinary People Looking Extraordinary #10
I love this spring in Amsterdam for many reasons: long bright days, warm wind, getting your cheeks sun-kissed, eating ice-cream on the street, getting rid of gloves while riding a bike and letting your bare neck catch the first sunrays.. Remember those thick winter sweaters you used to wear during the cold days in Amsterdam?Seems, they are just too cozy to get rid of when the springtime comes; therefore stylish Dutchies wear them as an outerwear. So, ice-cream, winter sweaters, and lots of bare necks, – my second dose of Amsterdam Street Style shots for Overdose.am for you to judge. (..more)
Up Close at Claes Iversen
When you invite people to an exceptional venue for a fashion show – the old church in the middle of the red light district – you can bet on it they will do their best to correspond with the location by showing off their fabulous fashion sense. Obviously this is what happened at last Monday’s Claes Iversen show. So instead of the usual runway photos, I focused on the fashion crowd and zoomed in on all kinds of accessories. From odd and hairy, to fab and shiny: enjoy this treat! (..more)
Ordinary People Looking Extraordinary #9
I’ve been interested in street fashion for quite a long time now. After all, as Carine Roitfeld says, street fashion is real fashion now. But being a foreigner who loves Paris and Parisian style way too much, I was not sure what to expect from the streets of Amsterdam when I first stepped on the ground of the Dutch capital. However, it didn’t take me long to realize how many different but fascinatingly stylish in their own unique way people there are here. That drives me to try to capture all of the interesting ones each day and share their inspiring style ideas with you. (..more)
