Afgelopen maandag behoorde de catwalk toe aan de prachtige ontwerpen van designer Esther Dorhout Mees. Ik was onwijs benieuwd, want deze jonge ontwerpster geeft altijd één van de mooiere shows weg. Yep, ook dit seizoen was het raak. Oké, de collectie was, naar mijn mening, niet heel vernieuwend, maar de show was adembenemend. Haar inspiratie haalde ze uit vervallen theaters: van veel fluweel en satijn tot aan grote contrasten in zowel vorm als materiaal. What can I say? Het waren haast theatrale kostuums tegen een indrukwekkend decor (lees: er stond een voltallig orkest te spelen en de catwalk werd omringd door sfeervolle kerstlichtjes!). Chapeau!

With Fashion Week being finished, I think Amsterdam is able to breathe again. At least I'm always a little overwhelmed by all the crazy people and the overall atmosphere down there. I like crazy though, but for me I'd like to keep it a little more simple... My favorite jacket, some good old sneakers, my fancy pants and I feel like chic. Peace out!
As you might know, Amsterdam Fashion Week is totally up and running by now. Tomorrow I'm attending some shows (will I see you there?), but yesterday I visited another special event: a dance and fashion crossover between the Dutch National Ballet and designer David Laport. Ok, the show was a typical 'you had to be there' kind of thing, but I hope you can enjoy my photos just as much.
The most excited part about shooting with an analog camera is the fact that I forgot I even made them. Ha! Can I introduce you to my summer of two years ago? I'm not joking... I lost my analog camera and a couple of weeks ago we got reunited again (don't ask me how). First thing was developing the pictures, the next was getting back my memories from all my crazy adventures. Festivals, the seaside, tapas, holiday in Italy, watermelon, breathtaking views and lots of parties... Life's crazy and I love it.
Last Saturday was super fun! I catched up with photographer Jonne Kingma (
check it out!). He took some pictures of me while I was wearing my favorite coat of all time. Then we went for coffee twice and at the end of the day we visited the Gemeentemuseum at The Hague. It was all pretty inspiring! Around noon I visited blogger friend
Eline, which turned out to be a night full of tasty wine and bad music (a perfect combination though). We had such a laugh! How's your day?
