First: SIS by Spijkers en Spijkers around 6.30 PM
Around 8.47PM. The website refreshes again, and finally the live stream video pops up. For a few seconds I could see a girl shouting through the microphone: “Do I have to speak louder?” After this I can only see a shot of the catwalk and the projection of a beamer with: Spijkers en Spijkers. This is the only thing I can see for a while, with sometimes people walking by.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the website, there is an area wit hall the tweets of people who tweet with #AIFW. This makes the waiting much more fun. Even some pictures from people who are backstage appear on Twitter.
In between the waiting and the people coming into the room, there is a girl interviewing a few people. She laughs a little insecure and asks sometime a little weird questions, but I’m very glad to hear people’s opinions and to have a look backstage.
When the show was about to start I had to have dinner with my family, but luckily I put my laptop on another table in the corner that I still could see the show a little.
According to SIS by Spijkers en Spijkers the trends for the upcoming season are: colour blocking, graphical prints, big straw hats and especially booming colours on a quiet fabric.
SIS by Spijkers and Spijkers is aimed to fulfil the vision of the two sisters Spijkers for a wide range of people. This clothing line is based on their original label: a lot of graphical details, colour blocking and Art-Deco-influences from the twenties.
The second show is from Tony Cohen. Tony’s vibes and inspirations are: flower arrangements, curtain draping, incense, flower smells, music, art, fabrics, travelling all over the world. I’m curious what his inspiration source was for his upcoming collection.
“The cloths of Tony Cohen don’t where me, but I wear them.” This is a quote of one of the visitors who was wearing a dress of Tony Cohen, before the show.
Tony Cohen is using see-through fabrics with white/pastel/earth/flower colours combined with petrol blue. Some dresses are longer in the back and very floaty, also dresses till the ground are passing by. The style is very romantic with asymmetrical layered with ruffles and sometimes a sparkling touch because of the sequins. He also combined a lot of draping in his dresses, what he did before. The Dutch model Kim Feenstra wears 2 outfits. Because of the straight hair and the wedges, the collection is a little 70’s.
Tony Cohen himself told the interview-girl that his inspiration was the free-feeling of the seventies with a lot of other different inspirations.
What do you think of the two shows? Which one do you prefer?
In prefer the collection of Tony Cohen, he passed the colour blocking and went to the romantic and soft side.
