So, here are some things i have done in the vacation!

As I told you in my last post, I’ve been to New York! So awesome! But is was perfect when I met the Crowley Brothers and Alexa Defina. The Crowleys is a band of 3 brothers who can sing, dance and cartweels. The first time I talked to them was when they covered Bad Romance. And now we are still talking! Alexa is a good friend of them and is also a VERY talented singer. We were chillin’ at Central Park and we had a great time! I also bought some Fashionable Merchandise of them. A minty green Tee with their Faces on (link) and some cool rubber wristbands with Team Crowley (Their fan group, I’m part of it) on it. Would you like to check them out? Click Here for the @CrowleyBrothers And Here for @Alexadefina!

The other perfect thing was the exhibition of McQueen ‘Savage Beauty’ in The Metropolitan Museum of art. I’ve never seen lots of masterpieces in a few rooms. MqQueen used his mood and his VADERLAND as inspiration fors ome of his collections and turned it into a wonderful fashion show where eyes and mouths are all wide open. Not only the clothes, but the whole show was a masterpiece. His technique is a good inspiration for me. They call him ‘l enfant terrible, but I call him a Rebel with Class!
It was worth waiting the 2 hours in line. Too bad that this creative man isn’t anymore.

On sunday Grazia NL presented the PC Catwalk in the P.C. Hoofstraat, Amsterdam. The Rodeo Drive of Holland… I showed us what the trends were for this autumn and winter. The trends are classy and sporty. But that’s a trend. Just be yourself and make new trends is my advice! Inspire me! Even though the extreme long delay of 1,5 hour, it was a great show the watch. The runway was 350 meters long! I think the models had the best workout ever. The price of the best store in the street went to Armani. Good job!

And to all the little monsters, have you seen the new Yoü and I video? Well it’s not a real music video, but it’s a fashion film! Directed by Inez van Lamsweerde en Vinoodh! And again, GaGa loves Dutch creative folks! Check out the Video HERE!

And the last newsflash is about me. A few weeks ago a guy added me on facebook, because someone introduced me to him. This guy who added me was Gio Diekema. He’s a new television star in holland and he asked me to design something for him. And of course I said yes! It’s a cool guy and he will wear a design, specially designed for him by me, at a dutch programm Life4You met Carlo en Irene on september 18th. So please watch! It’s my first television debute as a designer haha!

Well that’s all! I hope you enjoyed the reading!!

New Capitale F!

Hello little fashionista’s!

It’s been a long time ago (again) after I posted my last post… But now my vacation is over and it’s time to talk about capital F, yes FASHION!

It’s been a fun vacation. As you know in my last post I went to Amsterdam Fashion Week and De ModeFabriek. But I’ve also been to New York City! Oh my God! It was amazing. I have seen a lot!

So, what I want to do is I want to post once a week a newspost. All the important Fashion news that happened that week. Special Events will have a single post. The second thing is I want to make some little contests where you can win prices. I’m not sure with hit, but we’ll see ;). And I’m going to ask you for sending me pictures of you dressed fashionable. I want to post every week pictures of the most stylish person of the week!

And another thing, please let you friends know about this blog. The more viewers, the better the prices for the contests and the harder I get to find the most stylish person of the week, but the last one is no problem haha!.

So please let your friends know and Follow us on twitter!

Dutch design(s) in Yoü and I video!

Lady Gaga loves genius dutchies. And it always makes me happy when she's wearing dutch design (because I'm a dutchman and a fashion design student).

This time she is showing some dutch proud in her newest, most beautiful and greatest video music ' Yoü and I' ! It just came out yesterday and OMG it's amazing! You mmight not understand the message after the first time watching, but when you read gaga's 1000th tweet an watch it again, you will know that it's about the lovestory of two people. They love each other by the way they are. And that so fits into her 'Born This Way' concept. And besides the artistic part of the video, it also got some fun parts in it. But now back to fashion!

She is wearing TWO designs of the great Jan Taminiau (36). And it's not the first time she wore his designs. Last winter when she was in Paris for her last Monster Ball Tour she was wearing one of his beautiful designs. And gosh I wish that models would be more like Lady Gaga, because there ain't no other person in the world who can walk in these extremely high heels like Gaga!

Keep on wearing dutch designs Gagaloo (and hopefully one/some of mine ^^)

Check out some pictures over here!

Laura Theiss Backstage at Modefabriek

Here are some pictures backstage from the show of one of my favorites at the Modefabriek Laura Theiss! I have to thank the designer for sending me the pictures!

Take a good look on these great designs!!!

Mint on Modefabriek.

When I walked around at the Modefabriek, I saw an interesting room that's called 'Mint'.

It's a group of designers who think about the environment and I think everyone should think about it. Twin Couture (one of the designers from the mint-group) is a good example for it.

These two designers (who are twins) think sustainable ate every collection they make. This time they used the sustainable fabric denim. Denim? Sustainable? How can is be good for the environment with all that stonewashing? Well Denim is one of the strongest fabrics and even looks good when it's damaged. You can wear denim for a long time and it's never out of fashion. Very smart thought!

An as I said in the beginning everyone in fashion should think about the environment. It's a cool adventure for a designer to think new about fabric, patterns and other things. Sustainable is now and the future. And it's fun. Twin Couture shows how fun and kinda easy it is to think 'green'! So think green, be green!

Check out some pictures of the collection of Twin Couture and OAT shoes!

Angelo van Mol at Modefabriek.

And the last designer at 'Te next & cutting edge' show that is still in my mind, was Angelo van Mol. His designs were made of fabric that is also used for bra's. So it's a thick material and keeps the clothing always in shape! Even the shorts looked beautiful. And I also liked the python shoes. Check out the pictures here:

Laura Theiss at Modefabriek.

First I want to say that I'm extremely sorry for posting it too late! I enjoyed my vacation a bit too much. But I will write anyway!

So a few weeks ago I went to the Modefabriek. A great place for fashionista's to see what's in an what's out. There's also a special show for VIP's and Press. That's called ' The Next & Cutting Edge' And this time i was excited about three designers!

The first one is Laura Theiss. She can make interesting knitwear that's not granny-a-like. It was very artistic and rebellious than all the other boring knitwear. She has also added something special into some designs: LATEX! This material is just a small trend and is used by Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry and some more stars and I like it, like it! She was inspired by all the bad things that happened in the world.

I also liked the styling. She used vendetta masks that really fits the inspiration. Some masks were cut off the half, so it looked like a beard mask.

But to be honest, I'm absolutely not a fan of crochets, but wow Laura brought it to another level and made it cool! Well done!
