AMSTERDAM FASHION WEEK - THE FAVORITE

Amsterdam Fashion Week is here, and as its shows have started just last night I figured it'd be time for a little search on the most promising fashion victims from the land of the Dutch. A first glance reveals that there are a load of innovative, experimental designers and labels present this week; colors, fabrics, etc - everything is played to the max. On the other hand (and to the preference of yours truly) are more established designers who put it more subtile, which translates into beautiful and wearable designs. I've listed my three favorites of this Amsterdam Fashion Week below.

Most forward I look to the show of  Ready To Fish by ILJA, which takes place tomorrow. A label that in my eyes continously balances between tough and chic, and delivers beautiful pieces that combine well, translate into interesting silhouettes and are perfect for every daily routine.

Also a show I massively look forward to is the one of Franzel Amsterdam, taking place today, whom I appreciate for the urban vibe all over. Minimal, strong pieces for strong men - love it, and would very much like to see my love wearing this! (Pictures SS2014)

Last on my favorites list is Frida by Alexandra Frida, a show that is set for next Monday. Didn't heard about this label before, but got intrigued by at during my search for the gems of this Amsterdam Fashion Week - what a label. It's a bit off my style with more ethnic vibes, color and details than I normally appreciate, but in some way it's still balance and definitely not overdone. See for yourself. (Pictures SS2013)
