EmailThe Tao According to Ilja
by sara bertoni
In 1997 Ilja Visser attended the School of Arts in Arnhem, the Netherlands to study Fashion Design. Ilja interned at Donna Karan (www.donnakaran.com) in New York and Maria Cornejo Zero Red DaDa (www.mariacornejo.com).
After graduation Ilja moved to Milan to discover the roots of fashion, fabulous fabrics and inspiring design. It was here she laid the foundation of her ambition, realized in 2005, to introduce her own label.
Ilja Visser opened the 7th edition of International Amsterdam Fashion Week (AIFW). Inspired by Benjamin Hoff’s world’s bestselling book The Tao of Pooh, Ilja Visser presented her SS 08 collection, which combines the rebel feel of her target group with a simple yet always positive view of the world.

by sara bertoni
On Friday the 27th of July 2007 Elle presented its Spring/Summer 2008 prêt-to-porter collection, a collection that captures a soft Metropolitan futurism with sport-luxe inspirations in silvery hues and translucent acid colours. Silhouettes are evident and outspoken with soft volume on the top exaggerated by dropped shoulder seams and a marked waistline above slim fitted bottoms. The prêt-à-porter label is designed by International Dutch design duo Oscar Raaijmakers and Süleyman Demir: an exciting and experienced design team led by the Artistic Director Nikki Hillier.
Amsterdam: Daryl van Wouw, the man with headphones
by Sara Bertoni
Friday 27th of July Daryl van Wouw showed his Spring Summer 08 Collection during AIFW. At the up beat tunes of DJ Joost van Bellen, Daryl showed both a women and men's collection under his name. The colorful, often unisex collection with matching accessories is tough with an edge for men and sexy and recalcitrant for women. Daryl even designed an accessory line with earrings, bags, sunglasses and even sneakers. His collection is inspired by the mid-eighties with a touch of Asian folklore.
JUDITH OSBORN FASHION SHOW - Dont shoot the pony !
by Sara Bertoni
Judith Osborn , she's blond, great skinny body, ambitious and loves colours that hurt your eyes, as she described herself.
She starts studying School of Art in Holland and fashion became very soon the love of her life … At 26 years old, she married the other love of her life, a “fish millionaire” and as he said, she became a ‘fish wife’
From that day, where there is fish, fun and fashion, there is Judith. When I meet her first time after the show, the first impression I had of her is that she is a woman of an incredible sense of humour and as we know, I think ironic and humour is one of the ingredient to never be bored on life ! Imagine that the appetizeres for the After Show were the famous Dutch herrings!

For the first time in Amsterdam, the premiere of CAVALIA, the show with horses and humans perfoming together. I was absolutely excited about the idea to see horses can be part of an a great eye-catching performance like Cavalia. I m very fan of horses myself, riding since when I m 6 year old, horses are great creatures. Normand Latourelle, who worked with the world-famous Cirque du Soleil, is the visionary behind this show that employs many of the same acrobatic and musical elements as Cirque du Soleil. Beautiful lighting effects and tastefully artistic stage decorations allow spectators to appreciate the real stars….the horses .

Vincent Gagliostro’s Deleted Scenes (7) Verboten) Show at NeC Gallery
Vincent Gagliostro’s, Deleted Scenes (7) Verboten exhibit of photographs at NeC Gallery explores the predatory nature of the artist's eye, in this case, exploitive, vulnerable, and obsessively attracted to the promise of beauty.
Gagliostro, a former New Yorker now living in Paris, is an artist, filmmaker and graphic designer. On vacation in Munich in 2004, for him, the beautiful boys on the streets of Munich, became Munich, and with that, began a sort of propositioning of them with his camera. The result is a an arresting series of color and black & white photographs sensing the voyeuristic nature of the artist.
NeC Gallery started by Alain Chiglien (French) and Roger Nilsson (Swedish) in 2001, is a unique gallery that combines contemporary art and mid-century furniture, located in the chic northern part of the Marais.
