Party Report: Amsterdam Fashion Animals on Parade

Restricting ourselves is not our best feature, so here is our 'small' selection of party pics, for those who could not make it in person... the animals all got out of their cages, the DJ's spinned the records and our models were temporarely unleashed. As they paraded around our unrecognizable store backyard, the audience sipped on bubbly wine and munched on freshly barbequed Food Affair snacks. There was tons of fitting and shopping action as well as lots of pictures taken. As a parting gift, everyone received a goodiebag filled with a surprise Club Manhattan accessory.

WARNING: The animals are currently on the run! Our Amsterdam International Fashionweek collection will be on display and for sale at Trash & Treasures:

Friday 15 and Saturday 16 of July  10.00-19.00 at the MagnaPlaza, A'dam pop-up store (3rd floor)
Sunday 17 and Monday 18 of July 10.00-18.00 at the Modefabriek Rai Amsterdam

SneakPeek number 3: All hens on deck

It's a mere 2 nights to go until we hit animal frenzy! We are going completely ballistic on decoration and other organizational stuff, just to make the Sunday show rock your tiger socks off...
Here's a last short preview, fluo hen laying golden eggs. Crazy stuff happens on mannequin heads these days...

SneakPeek: Can you handle the Horsepower?

SneakPeek number 2. The horses whispered to me that they also wanted to give you a little preview of some of the animal-accessories we will present to you this Sunday..... So they gathered around and democratically decided on showing you the following accessories:
Stay tuned for more ;-)

SneakPeek: Fearless animal trainer at work

The countdown has begun. It's only 4 nights until we let the animals out of their cages. Here's a tiny preview of where the wild things live... Luckily we can always count on our very brave and daring colleague Jiske who does not only know how to work the leopard, but also effortlessly works this fashionweek collection look.

Grrrrrrr.... in the mood already? Tomorrow more beastlike stuff to munch on.... keep posted!

InStore: Fauna Flora La la la

Nathalie! Your internship is over, and this is your farewell gift? Just to make us feel the loss even more?!? Here's Nathalie, another intern whose internship is over now unfortunately. Just like Marjolijn in Amsterdam: these two youngsters keep on amazing us!

You have met Nathalie on the blog before, in the (sadly small size) black Chanel shoes. Now she shows us her personal predecessor of the upcoming Animal Parade: Flora & Fauna. Below she shows us her favorite dress from last season, the bright Guy Laroche gown, which served as a starting point for her theme shoot. If this makes you hungry for more, keep an extra eye on the blog this week.

Up next: more Animal stuff to get you all fired up for Sunday!

OnStreet: catching up with Susan Kooi

Susan is putting an end to me posting incredibly late. Susan is from Amsterdam and studies art. However, we met Susan and her boyfriend at our store in Antwerp where she was looking for a new hat. I hope you found a nice new hat Susan, thanks for letting us take your picture, we hope you were patient enough to be able to see yourself on the blog just now....
And since you are already dressed to impress for our Animal Parade: we would like to invite you to join us this Sunday July 10th, 17.00-20.00 at the presentation of our Fashionweek collection at our Amsterdam store, let the animals guide you ;-)
Hope to welcome you there!

Accessories aboard!

As the weather in the Benelux changes every day, we all also have regularly changing jewelry, but then you have obviously the difficult choice between silver or gold.
Here we have two stylings made ​​especially for you, one with gold details (for hot summer nights) and one with silver details for cooler days.
Come have a look at one of our stores, plenty of goodies for gold diggers and silver lovers.
