Walking in the Winter Westerpark

Last Friday it snowed in the Netherlands. That was a first this winter! Finally time to beat the freezing cold with my Sex and the city-ish fake-fur coat. Walking in Amsterdam all kids joined some ice-skating or sledging downhill in Westerpark. We Dutch people hope there will be an 'Elfstedentocht' soon. How do you keep yourself fashionably warm during -10°C?

And The 'Winner' is: Antoine Peters

This lovely sweater-dress called 'Winner' is made by my friend Antoine Peters for Gsus sindustries. You can definitely call this a winner! I love the soft cotton and the print that looks differently every time you do something with your arms. Antoine is known for his playful elements in his designs, and there is always a smile on your face when you see his ready-to-wear-work. I like the 'one-size-fits-all-elegance', it makes you feel you can wear it on the couch and can pull it off with heels on a fashionable party. Thanks Antoine for making your collection in collaboration with gsus. Now the whole Antoine Peters for Gsus collection is 50% off online, so hurry to the webshop!

Well-behaved Bonnie at Spijkers & Spijkers

Next to the show of Bas Kosters, I attended the show of Spijkers & Spijkers at Fashion Week Amsterdam. The show of the twins was inspired by Faye Dunaway who played Bonnie in the '67 movie Bonnie and Clyde.

I did like the inspiration but for me the show was a little too 'now' instead of a vision of tomorrow. The colours blue, red, rusty red, brown and black fitted well together. On some dresses there were details of a little guns-print, a wink to Bonnie. I would like to have seen a little more daring Bonnies instead of the well-behaved Bonnies of SIS. I am inspired to wear my beret more often though! All in all it was nice to see the models in the end all together walking on the catwalk, so you could see the coherency of the collection.

The Bas Kosters show

Last Wednesday I attended the show of fashion designer Bas Kosters;1,2, Tree. It had all elements to call it a real show: dancers, music mixed by a dj, a song by Bas himself joined with his voicemail, and a video in the background of Bas dressed as different monsters.

I had a blast, as always at Bas Kosters shows and parties. The show was colourful, fun and exciting. The telephone was a returning object, as well as fringes, dots, yellow fluffy fabric, and patterns of dolls/ monsters. It felt like a mini-monster-party with Bas as the King of monsters. (And parties!)

Photographer Marc Deurloo made pictures behind the scenes. Since I was in the back at the show I could not see the shoes at first, but damn those Palladiums in black and red are cool! My favorite of the show is the dress with Bas his head as a monster.
