Boudoir Noir

Sep. 7th 2010 by Mariana Davelaar (editor)

Dutch couture Ronald Kolk presented his 25th show in the Krasnapolsky hotel in Amsterdam. The over hundred visitors were welcomed in the beautiful winter garden with a glass of champagne. Sharon den Adel, singer of the Dutch band Within Temptation opened the show called ‘Boudoir Noir’.
A lot of black and white creations were seen on the runway. Flamboyant, wistful, baroque and ultra-modern are terms the Dutch designer used as characteristics for his collection.
Suits with high slits, jackets with coated waists and corsets with shiny dresses. A beautiful bride in black ended the show spectacular with half naked dancers in white trousers with a feather fan. Through the curtains of sparkle confetti Ronald Kolk himself received a well-deserved applause.

Mag het een maatje meer zijn

Sep. 7th 2010 by Mariana Davelaar (editor)

Onderzoeksbureau GFK kwam met het bericht dat de gemiddelde cup maat van de Europese
vrouw in 15 jaar is gegroeid van 75B naar 80C. Maar liefst 30% van de Europese vrouw heeft een cup D of groter.
De Nederlandse vrouw staat in Europa op de derde plaats als het gaat om grote borsten.Op nummer 1 staat Engeland
waar 57% een cup D of groter heeft. En Denemarken staat met 50% op nummer twee.

Bij veel grote modeontwerpers speelde de borsten een grote rol in hun laatste catwalkshows.Jaren lang zagen we super dunnen modellen op de catwalk waardoor dus ook weining boezem. Maar voor komende winter mag het allemaal weer het decollete en de vrouwelijke rondingen.

Helaas hebben dames nog steeds het idee dat lingerie in grote maten een hoog grootmoeder gehalte heeft en totaal niet sexy of fashionable is. Leuke kanten setjes geven niet genoeg ondersteuning voor de grotere maten. En de meeste lingerie winkels beschouwen cup maten vanaf 80E als een bijzonder maat.En dat is jammer want juist daardoor draagt 80% van de vrouwen een verkeerde cupmaat. De dames laten zich niet adviseren en kopen een BH die ze mooi vinden. Read More

AIFW: Daryl van Wouw

Jul. 20th 2010 by Majdeline Abbou (former reporter)

One of the highlights of Amsterdam International Fashion Week last week was Daryl van Wouw. Daryl was the conversation of the week and indeed!

The show started much later than expected. It was fully packed, that there were no seatings or standing places left anymore. Last Saturday Daryl showed his Spring/Summer collection inspired by the song ‘Paradise Circus’ of the American band Massice Attack. This collection is totally different then we expected from Daryl.
No ‘street’ look this time. But loud colors such as green, yellow, blue and red in all models hair. Daryl showed different designs like short dresses, shorts, jumpsuits and leather sandals. For all lovers he also showed some designs made of (soft) leather.

Particularly the show had a foreign look. I said it before, no ‘street’ look but we could call it ‘Street Chic’.

Citizen of Humanity fashion party

Apr. 13th 2010 by Majdeline Abbou (former reporter)

Fashion Jeanslabel Citizens of Humanity organised an exclusive fashion party last Saturday in the SupperClub in Amsterdam. The SupperClub was all transformed into Denim, the dresscode was also Totally Denim. Not everybody was dressed in Denim, that’s a pity but it happens. When we arrived we directly went to Le Bar Rouge, La Salle Neige wasn’t open yet cause of the preparing of the party. In Le Bar Rouge we enjoyed our drinks and music ofcourse. All jeanslovers could buy CoH jeans that night and it was also possible to pimp your jeans by a denim designer. On midnight the doors of La Salle Neige opened and the party officially started.

The best dressed woman and man of that night won a pair of the CoH jeans!

It was a great party and Fesjon made some pictures with one of the organizers (but wellknown as a Stylist) Chantal Bles, yes the sister of Stylist Danie Bles.
