Escapism @ Ready to Fish
Dutch designer Ilja Visser decided to show the new collection of her brand Ready to Fish in a theatre next to the regular venue of AIFW. Her Escapism fashion show promised to ‘take us to an imaginary world’, and it definitely did…
When entering the building, it immediately became clear that this was true fashion circus: there was a fortuneteller, gymnasts, a guy on stilts and girls in Burlesque-like circus outfits handing out cotton candy and cocktails. The collection itself was presented in the theatre where the models entered the stage, decorated with red balls, a swing and a trampoline, in beautiful, feminine and cool outfits: typical Ilja Visser.
Lots of black and grey garments, but also burgundy and faded turquoise with a subtle glitter-detail created a classic winter look. The French circus music, models with huge hairdo’s and decorative make-up completed the show. We want more!

Swedish chique Velour @ AIFW
There’s a new kid in AIFW-town: Velour. This Swedish brand is casual classy and therefore typical Scandinavian. Velour is a young label; they only launched their first collection in 2005, though their interesting history goes further back in time. Founder Per Andersson started in 1997 by selling old garments from his grandmother’s store that closed in the mid eighties. He called his shop ‘Nostalgia’; it became a great success in Goteburg. Nostalgia’s creative customers inspired Andersson to start designing his own clothes in 2002 and three years later, Velour was born.
Now they show at Amsterdam International Fashion Week where the gathered crowd saw a very versatile and cute winter collection, for both men and women. There were great basics for men like the classic khaki pants, beautiful cardigans and jackets with leather shoulders and arm patches, bodywarmers and chequered blouses. There were also wonderful basics for women, but the female collection showed some nice surprising effortlessly chique pieces as well, like a shiny black catsuit, cute blue printed skirts, a subtle sexy see-through blouse and button-down dresses.

ROPAROSA: the day after
On Thursday morning the show of her label ROPAROSA was the official kickoff of the First day of Fashion Week. How is Roos van der Kamp, the day after, when the rush and adrenaline of her well-received show are gone? ,,I’m tired but very happy with the result”.
What was the concept of your collection?
,,Come As You Are is about your own strength and power. All lines in the collection came from the middle of the body and formed as it were a shining star. To believe in your own strength and stay truly to who you really are while they outside world wants all kind of things from you was the idea behind it.
Did everything went well?
,,Most worries I had were about the moment of changing. Last year I showed twenty outfits, so I had twenty models. That wasn’t allowed this time, but luckily everything went very smoothly. In addition we planned to show some outfits with bare legs, but that didn’t work. I was very happy to score a pair of tights somewhere.”

Addy van den Krommenacker: Jungle Book Deluxe
If there was one show this Amsterdam Fashion Week everybody wanted to see, it was the Addy van den Krommenacker show. Last night he showed in a packed hall his new collection. A Show with a capital S. There seemed to be no end, in positive terms, because every time you thought you had seen the last dress another one came around the corner.
Army, jungle and floral prints, prints of trees, glitter and sequins, but also al lot of gold. Van den Krommenacker sent an innovative new collection on the catwalk. ,,I am well known for my use of pink, red and other bright colours. But this time I came across green. I found this beautiful fabric and my first thought was: ‘this is not my colour’. But then it became a challenge to me just to be inspired by this colour.”

Sage and Ivy @ Felix Meritis
The lovely thing about the Downtown schedule of Aifw is the variation of locations that are chosen by a wide range of designers to show their new collections. Young label Sage and Ivy of Dutch designer Alexia van Engelen showed at Felix Meritis today: a beautifulclassic building on the canals in Amsterdam. The surroundings responded perfectly with the winter 2011/2012 collection of Sage and Ivy that was absolutely gracious and intelligent.
This collection, called My Beating Heart, was inspired by St. Petersburg: a city in which French culture and Russian folklore melt together. Beautiful classy garments in
luxurious fabrics create a feminine, strong and subtle sexy look. Amazing!
