BAS KOSTERS | THE REBELLIOUS SHADOW

About a month ago Dutch designer Bas Kosters showed his collection called: 'The Rebellious Shadow' for fall 2013/2014 in London. The collection is based on the idea of priciples are not part of everyday life. They exist only in our 'shadow'. It's mainly about aimlessly protest - which is unknown - and a new look at the color black. As the successor of the penis print chose Kosters now for a SM-design. Kosters made ​​use of his favorite material: satin, jersey, Lycra, corduroy and silk.
I love Bas Kosters, such an amazing designer, and I totally get his idea about it only exist in out shadow. Just brilliant! What a inspiration! Don't you think?

BLAZER H&M | BLOUSE SINGAPORE AIRLINES | TOP UNKNOWN | TROUSERS ONLY | SHOES PRIMARK

A couple years ago my dad came back from a business trip from Singapore, and brought me a suit what the stewardess from Singapore Airlines are wearing. I didn't know what to do with that present, when are you going to wear a stewardess outfit? But today I found it back in my closet, and I was wondering if I could make an outfit with it. Mission accomplished! I love this new look, it's great for the summer! I can't wait to see the sun again. What do you think about this Outfit-of-the-Day?

IRIS VAN HERPEN IS LAUNCHING A READY-TO-WEAR COLLECTION

Dutch designer Iris van Herpen, who is famous for her futuristic and outspoken designs has revealed that she's expanding her current couture-collection with a ready-to-wear collection. The deisgner of for instance Björk and Lady Gaga, took 5 years to work on her technique and materials. The wearable collection is made of innovative materials, such as laser-cut plexiglass and leather treated lace and foil. The 28 year old talent is going to launch her new collection named "Phy-tha-go-rash" next month, and it's inspired by a Dutch book of artist Bruno Ernst.

Van Herpen says: "It is really an extension of my couture line. For haute couture you are more concerned for the body to transform. The ready-to-wear collection you want the dress with the body flow. And it must be comfortable." Furthermore, she says that it is not the intention that women have to feel like Lady Gaga or Bjork. "I would not change a person's identity or how she feels."

The prices of clothing vary between 600 and 7120 euros and will be available at 20 selective retailers worldwide.

I can't wait to see the whole collection. I'm a big fan of her work! It's really beautiful to see all the details Van Herpen makes in her clothing, and I'm curious if that's the same with her new ready-to-wear collection.
