Downtown

On Saturday 18th of July was the official opening of the Fashion Week DOWNTOWN - the "Fashion in the city" event- which was organized at Heineken the City. It was again a superb occasion for artists from different fields, to offer the public their own vision of how a Heineken street wear could look like.
Twenty creatives had the opportunity to show their designs on a long, green catwalk which reached till the outside of the location. The winner of the contest, Marielle van de Gouw, received a check of 1.000 Euro.

BBB

In the first week of July a few of our Spice girls went to see some of our clients in Berlin during Fashion Week, Bread & Butter & Premium. It was a hot, busy, fashionable and exciting weekend in the German capital. Congratulations to Bread & Butter for coming back home and for a great location! Besides our clients we saw a lot of familiar faces and were proud that Amsterdam was so well represented!

White Night

Sensation celebrated this year its 10th edition in the Amsterdam Arena. Dress code, as usual was strictly in white in addition to the overall theme "Wicked Wonderland". It was definitely wicked with very special guests like the Black Eye Peas and great DJ spinning their decks. MAC cosmetics was in charge of the make-up in the backstage to really transport the feeling of the theme "Wicked Wonderland".

Beyond And Beyond

And Beyond, the avant-gardistic designer brand, showed their SS10 collection at the Arnhem Mode Biennale last Friday. The show was titled `The Undaunted` which was underlined by the drum sound of the music and the mysterious lights of the show. The flaming patterns on the clothes formed the basis of their new collection and transported the overall theme. Sheer fabrics are draped effortlessly around the body, sometimes creating shapes that resembled prehistoric and Indian-like clothes.

The spears that were used in some of the designs underlined that image and visualized the inspiration perfectly. Again, And Beyond managed to leave their audience flabbergasted, in awe of their seemingly endless creativity.
