Amsterdam International Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: Lichting 2009
Posted in: Uncategorized  | The Spring/Summer 2010 Lichting runway presented the best of each of the seven Dutch fashion academies including the likes of Nathanya Zwart, Erna Einarsdottir, Kai Salomon, and Bregje Cox, among many talented others. As a result, the display turned out to be one of the most spectacular and raved-about catwalk shows of this season’s Amsterdam Fashion Week. The unique platform was founded to bridge the gap between Dutch fashion academies’ most promising students and the professional fashion industry, and the students’ work showed innovation far beyond their years. All of the collections captured of-the-moment elements found in fashion across the globe. The most impressive works were the ones that were least commercially wearable, including Ratna Ho’s collection which was inspired by tribal tattoos, resulting in curvy patterns, pleated skirts and tops made of see-through materials. Bregje Cox was inspired by big city skyscrapers featuring cut-out dresses and patterns meant to imitate the look of an aerial road map. Manon Boertien used her positive memories of religion and spirituality and sunlight-reflecting crystals as inspiration, boasting bold shapes and prints. Take a look at the slideshow for some of the show’s unforgettable highlights! |
