Project Catwalk

On Monday was the grand finale of Project Catwalk here in Amsterdam. As it will be on television soon, we don't want to spoil the surprise and wont tell you who the winner is. Spice PR will represent the wining designer, so don't worry, we will hook you up with all the informations at some point. In the words of Heidi Klum, about the fashion industry, I'm ending this post: "One day you are IN and the next you are OUT"!

Prelude

Last night, our two Spice girls Rosa and Candy went to the Prelude show in the Le Grand Hotel, here in Amsterdam. It was the seventh edition of the Prelude fashion salon, a night dedicated to the emerging fashion designers, organized by Mercedes-Benz and the Dutch Fashion Foundation. The new Spring/Summer 2010 collections were presented by: Catta Donkersloot, Conny Groenewegen, Mattijs and Sjaak Hullekes with each of their own individual presentations. We saw a classic runway show combined with different tableau vivant and back outside for another show. Although it was raining it was a great and very chic night.

On Thursday 16th of July, Carlo Wijnands of HTNK organized a 'Ready To Work Clinic' especially for the LICHTING 2009 talents.It was all about how to present themselves as designers and their work to the fashion industry. At the end of the day they actually had the opportunity to present themselves for the first time to a selection of Dutch press! Here some pictures, where you can see how the new talents managed.We are very much looking forward to the show on Thursday July 23rd, Westergasterrein. Sorry but it is on invitation only.
