My fave collections on day five and six of New York Fashion Week. Day six was my absolute favorite of entire NYFW! Badgley Mischka, Oscar de la Renta, Preen, Marchesa, Vera Wang and Theyskens’ Theory. Which collection do you love most?

My favorite collections shown at New York Fashion Week thus far. Jason Wu, Peter Som, Doo.ri and Yigal Azrouël. Which do you like most?

Two of my favorite looks from Rachel Comey’s Spring 2011 collection. Have to say they’re kind of the only looks I liked out of the 42 though. Wouldn’t mind owning that all-beige ensemble!

I’ve already talked about this show on the blog with some of the pictures I personally took, but because they weren’t of much quality (just brought my little camera) I wanted to show you these HQ images shot by Team Peter Stigter. The best about the items is that most of the pieces are designed with much simplicity, but the fabrics are just extremely luxurious and made of materials like leather and silk. The collection looked way better in real life on the runway though, compared to these pictures.

Tell me if you like it as much as I do! I know, it’s kind of Balmain inspired, but besides that I’d love to own the collection. Do you have your favorites?

Absolutely loved Jan Boelo’s show at the AIFW! I was already expecting something wonderful as you may know, but still he surprised me by throwing in some more color and all the fantastic leather and silk pieces covered in gold, metallic red, and silver foil! To me this man is one of the best designers The Netherlands have to offer, and the best collection of the entire Amsterdam International Fashion Week. The models looked refined and the overall styling was definitely adding up to the quality of the runway show.

Totally forgot about this bag… You could already see it in my previous post, but it’s been actually two years since I bought it, and I haven’t ever worn it before! Makes no sense, right?

I just arrived in Austria by the way, gonna have some really good dinner now (my body’s screaming for some decent Kaiserschmarrn since yesterday since I have been googling it again…) and hopefully the weather’s gonna be a little better compared to the past week so we can do some classic outdoorsy stuff and stroll around Bregenz.

The weather’s disturbing my mood a bit for Amsterdam International Fashion Week, but today I was finally succesful in dragging my body out in the rain and off to the Westerpark where the official shows are held. First show of the day was Frank, a label nobody did know anything about, and even with my Google-skills I wasn’t able to find something about the label online. After a show with mostly ready-to-wear items that did look of good quality, we were all surprised by the fact it was actually a collection by Zeeman, one of the cheapest clothing stores in the Netherlands (compared to Zeeman, Target quality would be high class).

In the evening I went to Edith & Ella, a Danish brand from Copenhagen which a lot of you will probably know already. Always dollface cute and wearable. The fabrics were all light-weight and I definitely saw a lot of comfortable pieces I’d love to own. Tomorrow afternoon off to the show I feel most excited about; Jan Boelo. Wondering if it will be as classy, dark and androgynous as his latest collection, of which I used quite a few items for a recent photoshoot for PS Magazine (out soon!). Off to bed now with a new episode of LA ink…

My favorite collections of the AMFI 2011 show. Designer names are mixed up on their website so unfortunately I can’t name the designers with the specific images! Wouldn’t mind to have all of these collections, would easily trade my entire closet for them… Pictures by Team Peter Stigter. Which do you like best?

Collectie Arnhem, Amsterdam Fashion Week, last Tuesday. Lots of yellow shades, beige, and paperthin & floaty fabrics… Yellow isn’t my favorite, but I do like the designs (and guys on heels are always fun to watch…). Coincidentally I was asked to walk the show a couple of days before, but I already made plans to visit the show itself, and had to work in the morning…so no runway for me. Would be fun though.

Absolutely incredibly amazing…….the Bas Kosters runway show. The energy, the bird masks, the bright mismatched colors, the ‘real’ models, the animations; WOW. I knew that I just had to get to visit this show, as I was already sure it was going to be the best show of Amsterdam International Fashion Week, and it sure was! The final was very energetic as well, and Bas himself even did a performance together with his boyfriend, surrounded by tropical animalistic models crawling over the runway… A big thanks to Steven for making me join him.

Furthermore there were of course a couple of the world’s most known fashion bloggers, including The Chic Muse, The Cherry Blossom Girl, Miss Pandora, Fashion Squad, Stylescrapbook, all invited by Fashiolista. For high resolution shots that aren’t blurry like my ones above, check out Team Peter Stigter.

I’m still figuring out how to upload the video I shot…Made one of the final including the performance, but even though it’s HD and .MOV, I can’t seem to upload it through Flickr or YouTube…. does anyone know how to?

We should never forget the eighties. You should really go to style.com and also check out the men’s looks for yourself (same collection). Jeremy Scott, Spring 2011.

Just four looks out of the thirty which I liked, but do like them a lot! Doo.ri, Spring 2011.

Didn’t bring my Macbook so unfortunately no possibily to upload pictures of the trip yet, but I guess this big post full of my favorites of my favorite blogs will do! Love all of these pictures so much… By the way, blogging with seaview currently…

I’m not sure if I’m ready yet for a nineties hairstyle, but god damn these clothes ARE amazing! Instead of ‘nineties’ some more think of this collection as the seventies with a nod to the future, but to me, it’s just kinda nineties. What do you think? Bensoni, Spring 2011, by Benjamin Channing Clyburn and Sonia Yoon.

You always know you can expect the best of the best of the best from Marchesa. Wish I could sew like that.

Didn’t like the collection itself, but the final closure look is amazing. Though it’s pretty obvious I’m in love because of the twenties vibe the dress has. BCBG Max Azria, Spring 2011.
