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?
The show I did for Open Shop a little time ago at Supperclub Amsterdam… I walked for Hotrod Hussy to be precise, a lovely Amsterdam based brand of fourties & fifties dresses all made by hand and with lots of love. Had a great day, even though my hair got abused, and ended the day by a glass of red at my favorite gaybar, looking like a dragqueen.
Can you imagine I had to climb high narrow stairs in the first dress? Tight! And what a lovely lady Monique Sluyter is. You might remember her from the nightly tv-shows and Playboy-covers, but what a pure and sweet woman she is!

Recently went to this burlesque party in Rotterdam. We sure had a great time, all dresses up and danced our asses off. Loved the 40′s vibe, and all the men were dressed perfectly like real gents (from hat till lace-up’s!). It all inspired me that much I’m actually starting a burlesque course tomorrow. A friend of mine has more pictures (also from all of our outfits), but I’m not sure if I’m able to get those… Will try!
