AIFW: Franciscus van der Meer

I have walked for Franciscus van der Meer and I really enjoyed it! The vibe backstage was very nice and comfy. I met a lot of new people but I also ran into a few people that I already knew from other jobs. In my opinion that's one of the greatest aspects of modelling: meeting a lot of new people with mostly the same interests.

Franciscus' collection was based on the Holocaust, wich isn't immediately clear when you see the collection. The make-up is very original and suits the collection very good. The make-up artists applied a piece of tape from ear to ear, and then they airbrushed the black paint on the face. It's a very cool effect!

AIFW: Non by KIM

Although The Amsterdam International Fashion Week has been a while ago, I like to write some things about it. That's because this fashionweek was very special to me: I visited a show for the first time in my life ánd I walked a show too. So for me fashionweek wasn't just watching pictures this time!

I got to visit the show from Kim Bakker with her label Non by KIM. It was an awesome experience that I'll never forget! I loved the environment, the fashion forward people, the different styles, the outfits, the goodiebags, the photographers... Just everything, basicly! :-)
Afterwards I had to write an review about the show, because I was occupating in a workshop: 'how to write a fashion review?' of the Dutch organisation CJP.
Milou van Rossum, fashion journalist at the Volkskrant, gave me a very nice feedback on my review. She said it would be relevant for a fashion magazine like Elle! Wow, that's what I would call a great compliment! That's my dream, to write for a magazine like Elle!
