 Some beautiful images to gaze upon this morning.

So her is the Kenzo mens collection.

_Never say Netherlands

I'm off again! I apologise for my gaps in posts i am working on it for the new year!

When i'm not eating everything in sight, i mean everything! I will be off to Arnhem for some retail 

therapy.

_In Suburbia

Hi all,

Again it's been too long since i last posted!

As you might know i do love a bit of menswear, and as it isn't always seen i wanted to share with you some of my favourite collections.

Here it is, he is Benjamin Bertram and a stunning collection, defiantly

a treat for your eyes!!!

Benjamin Bertram has a theory of his own when it comes to fashion: in times of financial instability, creativity is born. 

 Following this idea, decided to base his Menswear Graduate Collection: Suburban Boys around the idea of the disenfranchised youth in Britain, taking inspiration from Suburban Subcultures as well as what he calls “the boy himself”, 

this idealised image of “a cool street lad with a cheeky wink”.

_I need to get back to the sea.

Hi,

I have been quite neglectful lately, i have been super busy doing my degree, which after 4 years is now over!!!

I got you some treats for the eyes.......

My final project was on Industrial Fishing and fishing in The Netherlands.

I flew out to Amsterdam for my Look Book photoshoot, i arrived on Queensday, so had a stellar time, and some free beer, walking around Amsterdam with a sea of orange people!

The next day i headed off to Rotterdam and went to a lovely place called Veerhavan.

I had a super amazing photographer Landa Penders who was so organised and so much fun to work with!

I must also mention my beautiful model Hennie Evers and makeup & hair Evelien Van Der Ham.

Here are a few photos, i'll post up more soon!

_Niels Peeraer

A pastel-colored fairytale about a boy who prepares himself every day to marry his imaginary 
boyfriend, while wearing his grandmother’s couture jackets, wrapped around tweed, fake fur, tulle, sequined silk and stunning leather accessories.

           For this collection was inspired by a very feminine Asian boy, while his main goal was about blurring the line between women’s and men’s collections.

_Lookbook Boys

Something nice to see is men dressing good, lets face it, they don't always do they?

My boy lives in jeans and t-shirts and a big old beanie on his head!

Some visuals for you and also spent about 2 hours just looking at stunning boys!

_Inspiration Colour_ White

_It's doom and gloom, always raining, cold and windy, so here is something to brighten the mood,

a flash of white, slowly trending and coming our way....

_JANTINE VAN PESKI’S WIRES 10.0 COLLECTION

Jantine van Peski studied at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute before attending the Fashion Department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp, where she graduated in 2011 from a master (MA) degree with ‘WIRES 10.0’ collection. Her work focuses on silhouette and craftsmanship, with great attention to materials and techniques used.

Jantine’s was strongly influenced by the textile sculptures from the 1970’s and specifically the macramé-technique. 

That was the starting point to construct pieces of clothing out of cord and yarn, straight from the body and using only one type of knot.

LINKS À LA MODE: THE IFB WEEKLY ROUNDUP

Cooler Weather Brings Haute Fashion: That’s How The Saying Goes Right?

Edited by: Jessie Thorpe of Denimology

Cooler weather has made it’s way in and it leaves me feeling a definitive need to dress up lavishly. Some girls have been frocked fancifully for the entire month of Dressember. I think it’s important to make the effort to look extra stylish in the Winter months.  I’ve been decorating myself glamorously in festive jewel tones: emerald, crystal, ruby with gold making and appearance every now and again also. My wardrobe has definitely become darker as I use lots of navy and black basics letting my accessories do the talking.

_DIY The shirt collar necklace

Hello, hope all is well.

So here is another DIY, hope you liked the last one!

This collar necklace, you can use any simple outfit a bit of revitalization. Trim the collar off an oldshirt and sew a few chains here. You can actually use as an ornament, but i think the possibilities are endless.

_Negotiated Project

I am starting my final project of my degree and i am completely stuck,

I am going with a Fishing theme and need to develop further.

It is based on a book i found called "knitting from The Netherlands"

with old Dutch men fishing and i know is stereotypical but they are actually wearing clogs!

so wish is was more acceptable to wear them out and about!

Anyway here is my Ideas board

see what you think.

Thanks again for all the comments!

I am on twitter @Fabienne_O

_Valentina Poletti

_Currently based in Berlin, Valentina Poletti send us her final project to review and we were thoroughly consumed by her concept and execution.

 Besides the conceptual garments and photos she has collaborated with Carolina Amoretti to make a amazing video bringing together different environments that reflect the concepts of each look.

“My collection shows the two personalities of the same outfit, one a hostile and complex geometrical city representing urbanization and static routine and the other in a natural and free landscape which represents escapism.”
