Piet Paris, Bregje Lampe (Het Parool) and Georgette Koning

In `Mode van A tot Z´ Piet Paris drew the essence of 26 fashion concepts such as glamour, elegance and haute couture. Georgette Koning explains these concepts in a witty, sharp way which makes this a fun book to read.

From the A of Accessories to the Z of the dreamy fashion world (zzzz) - everything is covered and each text has its own illustration. The letters not only reinforce the texts, but also stand as illustrations on their own.

To give you an impression of the presentation, we have some pictures of all the fashion journalists from Belgium and Holland that gathered last Saturday. Enjoy!

ArtEZ graduation 2011

Last Friday we were in Arnhem to see the ArtEZ graduation show. 22 fashion design students showed their collection. The shows (5!) were held during Arnhem Mode Biennale in Akzo Nobel's empty factory.

We especially liked the men's collection of Anne Bosman, who already has work presented at Arnhem Mode Biennale's main exhibition.










Tom Nijhuis presented a collection inspired by skinhead girls. Surprising concept and one of few students whose choice for music, models and choreography was well thought-out.
