AIFW || FINAL RECAP.

Here is my final AIFW post after going through more than 1500 pictures.

INDIVIDUALS - NATURE'S CHILD A show filled with designs by students from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute.

GENERATION 12 - IROTSUYA by HANNA SIWECKI Hanna is one of the graduates from Artez who showed her collection -called 'Network'- at AIFW during the Generation 12 show. Although I usually hate orange coloured items, this look is just perfect. Another aspect I really like in this collection is the use of plexiglass parts.

GENERATION 12 - YONA VAN MANSFELD showed her ‘Elusive clashing’ collection, which is based on contrasting elements: colour contrasts and a clash between modern and ornamented fashion.

FRANS MOLENAAR PRIJS 2011 - ANNE BOSMAN was inspired by emperors and kings, as well as baby clothes.

FRANS MOLENAAR PRIJS 2011 - MARIUS OP 'T EYNDE was inspired by cycling and the control of body and mind. Marius' collection was definitely my favourite, a collection with many futuristic & graphic prints. Simple classic, but surprisingly modern.

FRANS MOLENAAR PRIJS 2011 - MAGNUS DEKKER the winner of the Frans Molenaar award; 10.000 euro which he can use to further develop as an independent designer. Magnus’ collection was all about contradictions, inspired by hysterical soccer fans and the flags of their country. He showed colourful, voluminous designs with several flag prints. This navajo inspired look is my favourite, I love the entire look!

SAGE & IVY  one of the highlights during AIFW. Alexia van Engelen showed her by water inspired collection called hemisphere ON water! Since they built a catwalk under water, it was like the models were walking on water. The feminine collection, the water, the sun, the models and the music created the perfect picture together... Goosebumps all over!
