I don't know

(a quote from my all-time favorite movie: Lost In Translation):

CHARLOTTE (Scarlett Johansson):

"I just don't know what I'm supposed
to be. I thought maybe I wanted to
be a writer... but I hate what I
write, and I tried taking pictures,
but John's so good at that, and mine
are so mediocre... and every girl
goes through a photography phase,
like horses, you know, taking dumb pictures
of your feet..."


Clockwise from the left: M., T. and...me.

T from T.

Meet T., a very talented illustrator from Toronto, Canada, who was a student at the AMFI (Fashion Institute in Amsterdam). Unfortunately, she moved back to Canada...(sob, sob, sniff, sniff).

This photo was taken ( again with my Yashica. :) ) in Westerpark, Amsterdam, during Amsterdam International Fashion Week. We were just chilling under this tree in the park, looking at all the wannabe's, models and big name fashionscene players.


Dashel. Click, click, click! Also here. Hahaha.

Björn Borg - Spread the Spirit

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........,


I met Miriam from Björn Borg, Stockholm. :)

She came to Amsterdam for business (just hanging out with her colleagues and get payed for it...) and invited me to the fashionshow of BB's SS 2010 collection which was held in the Westerunie.
To be honest, I just wanted to go to the afterparty and have a dance with Miriam and all the other models, wannabe's and other bloggers whom I recommended Miriam to invite to this party. Unfortunately I didn't see one of 'em. Too bad because, despite the fashionshow was 'so and so' (in Holland we say: 'Mwah'), the party was quite fun. Free booze.

Here's the low quality amateur-ish promotional video of the party with Dutch model Doutzen Kroes. (I don't think it's an official promo-video though...hehehe. It's in Dutch by the way!)

Some shots of the night!

Waiting 'till the fashionshow starts


This was not the runway! Dancers standing one floor up, entertaining the people during the short breaks.


Fotografen


I didn't take any pics of the models during the fashionshow because I was standing too far away from the stage. At the end, I sneaked a little closer, accidentally stepped on someone's shoe, apologized and took this pic.

I did take a pic of Doutzen Kroes when she was walking the runway at the end. But it only shows her bum (I was too late...). If I would get at least a 100 comments of people (probably guys) who wanna see the pic, I'll then post it up.


And then it was time to parrrty. Free booze.


My dates for the night: living doll T. (please, click on the T!!) and lovely L.

Au revoir, Garance Doré

Oui oui,

Miss Doré just left Amsterdam. Yes, you've guessed it right. The lady from the back was indeed Miss Doré.
Here are some pictures of the day Garance was being interviewed at FOAM Museum.

Doré's outfit

She also posed for me after I asked if I could take a picture of her with my antique camera. I hope to develop the film as soon as possible!

Peek a boo, guess who?

So, guess who this lady is?
Only the smart ones will know... :P



More to come about this lady (and her whole outfit, not only from the back...)...later this week!

By the way, this is my 100th post!

Quirky

On friday, I'm going to pick up the colored pictures (of the antique Yashica camera) at the local photo shop.
So for now, here are some more golden oldie piccies from about a couple o' weeks ago. :)

Une source d´inspiration; G.D.

Ooh la laaa...c´est magnifique...c´est...incroyable!
Her blog is more delicious than a french chocolate croissant!!
(hm, I´m actually not really sure about that...)

She´s coming to Amsterdam...! And she will probably come during Amsterdam International Fashion Week in july.



I would love to know her opinion of the streetstyle fashion in Amsterdam. Because, to be honest, the style you see here is nothing compared to the fashion style you see on the streets of Paris:





She started her blog in june 2006 posting funny and sexy illustrations like these ones:







But she´s mostly known for her fashion treasures, found on the streets during fashion weeks.









What I like about her site is that she´s not only posting complete outfits but also the faces. She´s getting somewhat more intimate with these people she encounters and sometimes writes a short story of the meeting.









I hope to meet up with her and have a lil photoshoot with my Yashica. :)

But I´m sure I´m not the only one in The Netherlands who knows about this. I think it´s gonna be a lot of pushing and shoving, biting, punching and kicking (á la Japanese style) for a picture of Garance Doré.
