2012-01-11T09:27:00.000-08:00

Yup that's right, Fashion Gone Rogue is featuring my latest photoshoot, shot by Mick de Lint. The lovely fact is that model Sophie is solely wearing Dutch Design, of which I myself are very proud to have managed. Also the fact that the bull featured was wild and stood so still, especially hearing afterwards it had attacked people only a week before our little escapade. Enjoy here!

Preview shoot: Nature's Child

2011-11-30T02:59:00.001-08:00

This weekend I had another photoshoot with photographer/model Mick de Lint. This time our concept was based on the scandinavian atmosphere and the light color pallette we see at the collections for next spring/summer. This in combination with all Dutch design and an incredible landscape was a marvelous day with huge outcome. So here's a preview to that. Hair & Make-up: Danine Zwets @ Angelique Hoorn, Model: Sophie @ A-Models Amsterdam

Shopping: Winter warm

2011-11-30T02:51:00.001-08:00

Inspired, like always, by the Isabel Marant collection; This winter everyone is digging the Navajo prints and hand woven Kiboots as if we're all indians. Nothing wrong with an enormous warm coat, knee-high boots and wool sweaters I think. Mix it with some leather pants or shots and tights and you are ready for the upcoming freezing season.

Valrija Sestic

2011-11-14T09:33:00.001-08:00

New model on the radar: Model Managements Valrija Sestic, who turning New York Fashion Week upside down by claiming she was 16, while at the time she wasn't quite yet. But oh what a pure beauty she is.

Jacquelyn Jablonski

2011-11-08T04:46:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite models from 2010/2011 is deffinately Jacquelyn Jablonski. Not only does she remind me of actress Carice van Houten and Oliva Wilde, but she has this refined beauty to her. The fraggles, the dark thick long brown hair, the bone structure, everything about her I love.

Last week I did this shoot for Zalando.nl, with a "Sinterklaas" thema and two really lovely models. Sophie from House of Orange and Jorg from de Boekers in Amsterdam. Here is a preview to the shoot that will be soon online at Zalando.nl

DIY Starstudded Hat

2011-10-28T05:58:00.000-07:00

I recently bought a hat, which I was planning on for the longest time. I never found the right size, color etc. But now I found this black hat, which had a flower stichted on it. So I removed the flower and made a brooch out of it, so I could variate. But then I also bought some letter string and star shaped studs to apply and give my hat that little edge I want it to have!

Here are my DIY photos, so you can try it for yourself!

Flare

2011-10-27T13:19:00.000-07:00

Today I bought some flared pants, in ocean green. Reminding me of my teenage years, which are no, not that long ago. So I found some inspiration on how to wear them! Just with a casual fall knit, or with a matching colored blouse.

Lara

2011-09-29T01:11:00.000-07:00

So down to earth. I love how she is still so normal and has so many different faces. Here Lara just looks like the fifteen year old model, posing in Ellegirl, so insecure in a way and so natural as well.

Shopping front row, Burberry Prorsum

2011-09-27T05:13:00.000-07:00

2011-09-20T09:14:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I had another 'free work' shoot with photographer Mick de Lint, who is a model himself, but now turning behind the camera into an amazing film and photo producer! Loved working with him because of his relaxed style, same goes for our model Isabella Oelz / Elite Models. Here a view backstage:

Cristel Ball jewels

2011-09-20T09:00:00.000-07:00

A new sport's in town. Spotted on the Modefabriek last summer and following her work and collections ever since is young jewelry designer "Cristel Ball". From all different places all over the world she gathers her treasures and makes them into very minimal but edgy jewels for the neck, ears and wrists.

When I first spotted them, they made me think of jewelery designer Pamela Love, but this girl has her own twist to things, and a lower price scale, so it is affordable as well. You can look and buy the Crystal Ball collection at Restored in Amsterdam (Haarlemmerdijk) now!

After Summer Stock

2011-09-20T08:37:00.000-07:00

Now don't go all black just because Fall is coming around the corner. There is still that little summer sun trying to break through the clouds. So let's be all bright and recall our summer days. And yea, prepare for fashion week wardrobe!

Here's just some snap shots of behind the scenes during a shoot I did last Sunday!

Resort Givenchy

2011-06-17T07:46:00.000-07:00

I already fell in love with the winter collection of Givenchy, and now also its resort collection features this amazing flower print, statement necklaces and pencil skirts. It's like a rain-forest-fasion-uniform!

Resort Emilio Pucci

2011-06-17T07:44:00.000-07:00

The resort collection of Emilio Pucci struck my attention. Not only because of its multi-color use, which I love for this season. But also because the model is an exact realistic version of Barbie! What do you think?

Black, Red & Devilish

2011-05-17T07:17:00.000-07:00

Jak and Jil photographer Tommy Ton spotted top model Iekeliene Stange during Australian Fashion Week. This inspired me to make a shopping based on the black and red combination and the nonchalant style of Iekeliene. Always so flawless with a little bit of girlishness and rock and roll. Don't make it too hard on yourself, just mix and match.

Favorites

2011-03-28T07:42:00.000-07:00

Just a small recap on what was probably my most favorite show for the upcoming winter season 2011: Givenchy. The colors, the prints, and the usages of the different shapes that variate from pencil skirts to over the knee sequences with knee-socks and the of course the collars again! Love, love, love.

2011-03-28T07:25:00.000-07:00

Yes yes, A couple of weeks ago I did this photoshoot with the Dutch television personality: Lauren Verster. And now the issue is in stores and guess what: they used one of the photos on the cover! Jipay!

This shoot for Flair magazine contained more photos, but I'll put these on the website under 'publications' later!

Sneak preview of my Glamour shoot

2011-03-08T14:02:00.000-08:00

Here is a little little sneak preview of one of the styling racks that were at the studio when doing a shoot for Glamour magazine. More to come around May!

The french striped

2011-03-08T13:58:00.000-08:00

What struck my attention when observing the Parisian shows were the striped pants both Phoebe and Hannah presented for the upcoming winter season. A mix of leather with cotton in a vertical way. What was in the air that day when both women were inspired to design these trousers??

Missoni FW2011

2011-03-08T13:55:00.000-08:00

The new pastel palette by Missoni. Eye Catchers of the collection: snake leather boots, big checkered pattern, pastel flowers and maxi length of dresses, sweaters, tops and coats.

Jil Sander FW2011

2011-03-08T13:54:00.000-08:00

Love the color popping at Jil Sander. Eye Catchers of the collection: pointe ankle boots, all shades of blue (to be combined together), 'nerdy' knitted sweaters.

Prada FW2011

2011-02-28T05:09:00.000-08:00

And again Miuccia made a show-stopping collection for Fall Winter, first it was the new 'madmen' length, then the beach-see-through-plastic one, then it was the cuban-bananas-and-neon-stripes for this summer and next winter we can expect a lot of twiggy shapes dresses and coats with snake leather boots and fur hats and details. Maybe not such a wearable collection, but in my opinion very editorial worthy!

Pudding

2011-02-26T12:19:00.000-08:00

Ok, You need to eat between shows. And now the thing is, I'm not in Milan or Paris, so I can explore some home cooking again. This time: English apple pudding, yum yum.. It took me 2hours, but the result was amazing!

D&G FW2010

2011-02-25T02:35:00.000-08:00

Celebrating Fashion at D&G. The collection was screaming 90's fashion in a modern jacket of course, I loved the happy energy of the models and garments, taking bright colors to a new level.
Eye Catchers of the D&G collection: Plastic letter necklaces, petticoats underneath tight skirts, neon colors, wedge sneakers, letter prints, crop-tops and I'm loving the square yellow coat.

Burberry FW2011

2011-02-25T02:10:00.000-08:00

Compared to its previous two or three collections, I thought this seasons Burberry collection was kind of toned down and dull. Nevertheless there were still great eye catchers that we should take into notice for the upcoming winter season! Eye catchers of the Burberry collection: sixties colors like mustard yellow, orange and brown, tight flared 'leggings', bright colors on wool and cotton square shaped coats and then those platform sneakers! Certainly a musthave for my winter wardrobe, although they do remind me a bit off the 'spice girl-era' I experienced in my younger years.. auch..

Proenza Schouler FW2011

2011-02-24T03:02:00.000-08:00

My love for Proenza Schouler is big and actually grows with every fashion week. I love how Jack and Lazaro capture a sort of cultural vibe every season and translate it in magnificent prints and fabrics, always with a feminine touch linking back a certain era.

Eye catchers of the Proenza Schouler collection: High heels with small straps, colorful prints diagonal on pants and pencil skirts, mixing leather with embroidery and cotton.

NYFW: Marc Jacobs FW11

2011-02-15T06:18:00.000-08:00

Eye catchers of the Marc Jacobs Fall Winter collection: The polkadot tights, polkadot 'mary poppin' bags and hats, almost every item had that little dot, rather hidden or very obvious. The unique usage of rubber and latex with top, skirts, pants, dresses. The colors bordeaux red and silver and again those white collars worn in or over tops. A shiny & 'futuristic' collection with a body conscious look, which is still very feminine through the use of shape by MJ.

Spotted this photo taken of fashion editor Taylor Tomasi-Hill by Jak&Jil(.com), an inspiration of this weeks shopping. The quirky cuteness of a white collar over a knitted sweater in combination with soft fabrics. Such a simple look yet with a lot of character.

Shopping for the easy days

2011-01-18T06:07:00.000-08:00

The festivities are over, New Years has passed and we are all starting at a bright, new, fresh 2011. Not to forget, it is still winter! I always get the need to long for spring even more, ones this holiday season has passed. But now, we need to sit this one out, but that doesn't mean we can't dress fashionable? One bright issue: sales are up all over the webshops and in town! ..So here's for the lazy fashionista's or just those who are in an extreme relax mood like me. Spring will soon be there! I promise ;) Meanwhile try to score some goods in those bargain bins.

Whilst surfing through the many webshops and blogs for inspiration, I came across these most awesome, rock and roll, elegant pumps! Made from patent leather with an inside of bright yellow and a metal lipstick heel.

It is from the hands of the great Alberto Guardiani. €315 (www.colette.fr)

"circus family" W magazine, December 2010

It struck my eye, the moment I watched upon this editorial. It amazes me how, again my favorite photographer Paolo Roversi and stylist Alex White has set this enchanting world. A world that is mysterious and draws you in. You may never leaves the pages of the magazine with an editorial like this. Capturing style, top models, high-end fashion and especially an atmosphere you want to be part of and discover.

Models of 2010

2011-01-09T04:41:00.000-08:00

2010 presented a lot of amazing young, or already working on their road, spotlight girls. Here's the top 10 for 2010. With surprisingly also two Dutch girls. The most remarkable in this top 10 for me is Daphne Groeneveld who just recently started and already has appeared on the cover of Vogue, on the runways and in the campaigns of Prada and Miu Miu.... This girl is promising like hell!!

1.) Karlie Kloss (18) NEXT 2.) Mirte Maas (17) MTA 3.) Lindsey Wixson (16) MARILYN 4.) Abbey lee Kershaw (23) NEXT 5.) Karmen Pedaru (20) MJ 6.) Ginta Lapina (21) WOMEN 7.) Daphne Groeneveld (15) WOMEN 8.) Frida Gustavsson (17) IMG 9.) Arizona Muse, NEXT 10.) Barbara Palvin, IMG

Emmanuelle is the new Carine

2011-01-08T04:57:00.000-08:00

Just as neon is the new black this summer, Emmanuelle is the new Carine for the upcoming decade of Vogue FR. Carine had such an outspoken voice, opinion, style and (oh!) network. But there is no doubt in me that a lot will change for the Parisian Vogue readers. These two are like sisters, expressing that extraordinary and specific rock and roll and elegant french style.

Looking forward to the first Emmanuelle issue, that for sure will be a collectors item.
