Colour and grafic design were the two things the Dutch twins, Truus and Riet, showed in their L’Oréal Professionnel presents SIS by Spijkers en Spijkers catwalk show.
Fashion and art melted together in the Stedelijke Museum in Amsterdam yesterday. During ‘Matisse et la Mode’, Liselore Frowijn showcased her collection in combination with the extraordinary art collection by Henri Matisse. This turned into a beautiful interaction between fashion and art. The influence Matisse had on art and fashion was highlighted by an interview between Liselore Frowijn, Milou van Rossum (fashion journalist NRC) and Bart Rutten (curator Stedelijke Museum), which led to very interesting perspectives on the artist. During the 23rd edition of the Mercedes-Benz FashionWeek Amsterdam, Zalando organises inspiring and accessible events throughout the city of Amsterdam.
