I LOVE THAT

le love

We' ve got it!

Yes! The first September Issue of the Dutch Vogue! It is the first September issue in Dutch history and Dutch supermodel Ymre Stiekema has the honour to be at the cover. We like the cover very much, it has an edgy and rocky touch but with a very classy touch!

SUMMERTIME SADNESS

Kiss me hard before you go

Summertime sadness

I just wanted you to know

That baby you're the best

Can't get the song out of my head!

Maybe a DIY PROJECT?

I saw these photos here and i was like wow maybe a interesting DIY project.

You only need a white tank top and some thick wire (i think you can also use wool for it)

and then make a figure on your top that you like. 

P.S Look at the shoes she is wearing. I can't image how your toes should feel in it but it's very amazing to see!

Pauline van Dongen created even new designs, especially for this exhibition. Besides the designs you can also have a closer look to the inspiration of the designers. Which materials do they use?

Graduated

It's official: I'm graduated! 

It took a bit of blood, sweat and tears but it is all worth it with the 8 on my diploma. Right now I am the happiest girl in the world! Also a little bit nervous, cause who can tell me what I will do next?! But at this moment I'm forcing myself not to think about the future that often and enjoy my well deserved holiday which will start with throwing a kick-ass party! Bye bye student life, hello working life!

AFW- Downtown

From 11th of July Amsterdam Fashion Week is back in town. Besides the official program, which will show collections of Claes Iversen and Bas Kosters, there is also a Downtown program which will start at July 6. 


These events pop-up shops and shows will be accessible for everyone. Les Filles made a selection of their favorite happenings:

• Maison de Bonneterie - Exposition with Pauline van Dongen, Leonie Smelt and Marloes Blaas

Iris van Herpen

Last night Dutch designer Iris van Herpen showed her AW12 collection at Paris Fashion Week. 


Van Herpen is known for her collections made of special materials and last night she showed a recognizable Van Herpen collection. Yesterday she showed a collection of alien-like designs made ​​of unusual materials such as copper, silicone and PVC. All the designs are made in an unprecedented manner, a new 3D technique called 'Mammoth Stereolithography. This 3-D printing process is built up segment for segment in a sheath of polymer. The polymer hardens once it comes into contact with a laser beam, resulting in a more complex and layered form. Are you following yet? 

Diem Chau

Artist Diem Chau

Chau combines common mediums and common means to create delicate vignettes of fleeting memory, 

gesture and form,resulting in works that combine egalitarian sensibility and minimalist restraint. 

Her work touches on the value of Storytelling,Myths and its ability to connect us to each other through 

cultural and humanistic similarities. Chau's current work drifts intonew territory by exploring the 

periphery of the narrative, moments forgotten and faded, or too brief to retain.

We just love the tiny work of Diem Chau. It's so adorable!
