DOWN IN AMSTERDAM

The 12th Amsterdam International Fashion Week returns this wednesday with the 2010 A/W-collection. For five days, Amsterdam will experience a whirlwind of new design. A well deserved boost of fashion-adrenaline in these cold and dreary days. Lose those mittens, my love, winterfashion has never been this hot!


WHEN I CAME TO IN AMSTERDAM
THE HOTEL SHOWED A MOVIE



Unfortunately, the official show programme is on invitation and for professionals only. So thank god for Fashion Week DOWNTOWN. This new part of the AIFW is open for public and gives all of us the great opportunity to see exhibitions, shows, parties and so much more. Personally, I'm thrilled to see that FOAM Photography Museum shows work of the young fashion photographer Mylou Oord. Also, MAISON DESCARTES presents a 52-minute French documentary about the creative mind behind Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld. I really hope I have time to go to Amsterdam this week, but I seriously doubt it, because I'm in the middle of a very important test-week at my school.
