Jan Taminiau opens the 12th edition of the Amsterdam Fashion Week at the Fortis Bank Soiree with a collection of 20 pieces. A mystical vision of the contemporary woman.The flair is feminine and reflects a contemporary play of protection and expose. JANTAMINIAU drags you into his fantasy world featuring the ultimate beauty of the female body. The temptation and the melancholy, the strength and desire, sensual but also understated. The combination of materials plays a major role. Forms and details are enlarged: huge material roses, Greek-style drapes and uniform-like slices. All carry the feminine face on a pedestal as: strict and ruthless she towers above it anywhere. copyright peter stigter
