Amsterdam Info

In asteptarea Amsterdam Fashion Week ( 27-31 ian. 2010) ne putem inspira din colectia newcomerului olandez de 24 de ani cu nume apetisant – Michael van der Ham- prezentata in cadrul London Fashion Week (18-23 sept).

La prima vedere rochiile lui van der Ham par niste frankestein colorati datorita faptului ca sunt facute parca din bucati provenite din alte haine cusute impreuna. Intr-un interviu acordat site-ului hintmag.com MvdH vorbeste despre sursele lui de inspiratie :

„I saw these three dresses that Andy Warhol designed for an exhibition curated by Diane Vreeland in the 70s. They were created from bits of other dresses by big designers of that era, like Diane von Furstenburg, Halston, Oscar de la Renta and Valentino. A sleeve of one dress was attached to the front of a different dress. At first I didn’t like them, but then I thought the irony of cutting up couture gowns and sewing them back together was really funny. Who would do that? […] So I started collecting loads of pictures of party dresses that I liked from different decades. I started with the 60s and 70s, then expanded the search to the 20s and 50s. I collaged them all together into a little book to get the concept down, but the hard part was making them, especially as I had picked couture references. I knew that it was going to be loads of work, but I knew that I didn’t want to spend all that time on the MA and graduate with a collection of T-shirt dresses.”
