Saturday the 17^th of July Conny Groenewegen presented her collection in her own unique way during AIFW. The show takes place outside, where a labyrinth is created by plasticized pallet blocks on which the public can sit down. Both the public and the models are wearing headphones through which the accompanying music of the show sounds. At the beginning of the show the models come out wrapped in plastic like cocoons. When they are liberated from their cocoons the beautiful creations become visible.

Saturday the 15^th of May Sepehr Maghsoudi opened the Fashion Museum Week with his first couture show in the Fashion Hotel in Amsterdam. Sepehr is mostly known for his participation on the TV show Project Catwalk and his designs for the 140 year anniversary of the Bijenkorf. The evening’s setup is rather small, with a simple black carpet that serves as a catwalk. The show starts promising with live violin music and Liza Sips as a model, better known as Vicky from the dutch soap serie GTST, in a futuristic design with striking angular forms.

After four creations were shown, the show was interrupted for the announcement of the winner of the Fashion Museum Award. A surprise for the winner, couturier Addy van den Krommenacker, who receives the award from Sandra Reemer. Afterwards the show starts again and shows us, besides the futuristic creations, also variations on the traditional evening gown and wedding dress. The futuristic creations have a very interesting shape with sharp pointed shoulders and are dark of color with a combination of black and gold. The evening dresses are more subdued and classical and bring more color to the whole through the use of red, purple or white. All in all a beautiful mixture, styled off with big hair and amazing platform heels. Fashion Museum Week will continue to the 22^nd of May, with each day another couturier or designer in the spotlights and will end with the third edition of the Dutch model Awards.
