rtl editie nl.

This week, was it this week, believe it was Monday, nah?

Anyway! I was on the RTL Editie NL, a news thing here in The Netherlands. Ha. They asked me to talk about feminine menswear or more likely, dresses for men and all. Ofcourse I was the perfect fit for this. Which is such an attitude thing to say this, but oh well. I don't mind actually.

If it's up to me, I would love to see more guys in dresses. Or skirts. And ofcourse not everyone, but most men these days should pay a little more attention on what it is they buy. And most important, it's not even that hard! It only takes courage and knowing what suits you the best. And maybe a simple item in another fabric or maybe 2 sizes bigger could do it for you. Play a little, dare a bit more and mosty have fun with it.

So after a small talk I dressed the guy of the news thing in some Acne, Damir Doma, Henrik Vibskov and Maison Martin Margiela. I also gave him a clutch and an even more extreme coat, but they cut it out. Eitherway, if you wanna see it or simply laugh, because it's fun.. go and peek:

help me out here.

Can anyone help me identify these few items?







I found them on Stylesight or maybe it was the blog. Eitherway it's Stockholm Fashion Week and I believe the clothing is by Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair and the shoes are by Acne, but I'm not sure.. Anyone?

I have to say, I love it. And if this means 2010. I abs. can't wait.
I'm so over 2009 already, ha. x

the september issue.

The September Issue is on her way!

Many of you may already know about it or even saw some footage of the docu aswell, as it's Anna Wintour and her team working on the September Issue from 2007. And to be honest, what I've seen so far, is good. And I mean that.

Whatever else, her daughter Bee Shaffer, ofcourse Grace Coddington and others like Karl Lagerfeld, Nicolas Ghesquière, Oscar de la Renta, Phillip Lim, Stefano Pilati, Thakoon and all. A must-see, dah! x

Pure genius. Pure power. Such an amazin view on things and always a pleasure to see his shows and take a small walk through his view on fashion, and life.

i dunno.

I'm blanco. I'm I dunno.

After quite some kind of.. busy day, Mylou and I, as impulsive as only we can be, decided on going to Revolutionary Road with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, hoeray. Or actually, not really.


The movie is about this couple who turn out to be just like all the others, having kids and living somewhere far from the city, feeling quite unhappy, but trying to be picture perfect for everyone to see. Finally they come-up with the idea of moving to Paris, feeling free, creating space in their minds for new things to happen and to take it all on another whatever you may call it.

Eventually, Kate gets pregnant and Leo decides he wants to take the promotion he got offered. Then next thing, well, since some of you guys may wanna see the movie, I will not go on. But the movie shot me deep, I'm upset and I can't even talk. The movie showed me something I'm not happy about and my heart is crying for at least a bit..

I dunno, no. I dunno, hmm. I'm a bit blanco. That's for sure. Or maybe it's just the entire Amsterdam Not-So-International Fashion Week. Maybe too much feelings, maybe I just really missed Chriz. Maybe this, maybe that. I dunno. All I know is that my neck hurts and I feel bad.

Time for a cup of tea. I'll be fine, ofcourse.

Lots of love and goodnight kisses. Adieu!

guess who's back!

My dearest Jeampy is back! Meaning one of my best friends, Jean Paul Paula. Which ofcourse, has been shown, posted, talked about and all, of this blog many times, but that's another story. This time, he was off to Paris for fashionweek, without me, doing the backstage shizz for Louis Vuitton, meeting up with Marc Jacobs, surely grabbing to attention of everyone, running around, seeing shows, working for MYKROMAG, etc.

So after a small two weeks, the bitch finally came back and we met again yesterdayeve. Hallaluha-ja-whatever, how happy am I to have you around again. Which reminds me, I have to hurry as in the tv-channel AT5 is following us and Aynouk, Bubba, Christopher and Majid during Amsterdam International Fashion Week. And the first show, and actually one of the most talented and best ones, will be held within an hour.. Oh, meaning the Iris van Herpen Show, google her or peek my blog next week.

So.. happy happy JeanPaul is back. And now I have to run. Ha.


Ps. Click on his name between my links, he also holds a blog! x

couture paris spring 2009, pt 2.

And again, new shows, two I will blog about, here they are. Tadaaa!






Elie Saab
I'm a big Elie Saab fan, so depending on the colour pallettte, I may like a certain collection or not. This time, with the volume and shapes and the soft tones, I think, this collection is abs. stunning! x






Valentino
Like always, gorgeous in a grownup way. Nothing too extreme, but with a little edge. Nice fabrics, good models. Nice!

all about the shoes.

I was picking some new items on Browns, but I have the feeling I'm missing some cool things. Alexander Wang, Proenza, Rodarte, would all be perfect. Why is it, they do not have this.. are they going the Net-A-Porter way? Too Sex and the City, too much the same?

Anyway, I wanted to pick an all black look and have some amazing shoes underneath it. But wearable and smart, so Nicholas Kirkwood, still one of my favs, is perfect for this. Love these aswell. One of my fav paris for this new season.

And so well, from top to bottom:
Acne Jeans, Jil Sander, Balmain, Jil Sander, Josh Goot, Rick Owens, Dries van Noten, Number (N)ine and Nicholas Kirkwood.

Plus, the Number (N)ine trousers, mens ofcourse. I would like to see more women wear a bigger pair of denim jeans. Try it! x

An old song, a new vid, a simple one, no colours, no nothing.
Very clean, very nice. I heart this one. x

i can't sleep.

While going through the latest Dazed and Confused, I saw this amazing story again by no-one else than Nicola ofcourse. And, no suprisé, Mariano Vivanco. Ha. Having Ana Claudia, Pedro, Junior, Gabriel & Leo from Why Models Management to work far and close and black and white. Love it! x

Ps. Or maybe it's just the fact I find Nicola such a cutie. Ha. No, truly a fucking awesome story! <3.

the begijnhof.

Last week Christopher and I visited the Begijnhof here in Amsterdam. This place, or more likely, small square, holds rest, lots of nons and the oldst house in Amsterdam. As it's located next to Spui, another square, I always walked by this, around it and all.

So on a simple day of January, we finally went in, made a small round and took some photos. Always nice, nah. Ha. x
