Modefabriek January 2014

Bonjour ma Cheries,

Last weekend I went to Modefabriek for my exhibition and ofcourse I had to walk around to see all the other brands showing their clothes and shoes and other amazing fashionable stuff. It was so inspiring and huge! I made some pictures of the things that catched my eye, so here is a selection of my favorite stuff!

Have you ever been to a fashion fair?

Lots of love,

Rosa

Exhibition at ModeFabiek January 2014

Bonjour ma Cheries,

Last weekend  I was lucky enough to be able to exhibit my collection 'The Love Club' on the 'Modefabriek'.
This was the prize I won on the MAFB competition together with two other designers.

Modefabriek is a fashion fair held in The Amsterdam RAI twice a year. It's a fair for new, unique and high quality brands. So it was quite an honour to be there. Even more fun was that loads of people came up to me and wanted to know more about my collection. I'm even featured on two blogs!
 ItsMeRoxy and ModelProfile . I had so many nice reactions, it was definatly a succesfull weekend.

Outfits Of The Week

Bonjour ma Cheries,

Happy New year to you all! I can't believe it's actually 2014. 2013 Has flown by!
So a new year means new ideas, and I came up with this one a few days ago and I quite liked it.
I hope you do to! I will be doing outfit of the week post like this everyweek. Well atleast I'll try to.
It's not only to show you what I wore and what my style is, it's also a way to show you my art and let out my creative side. This is the first one I've made so not the best one. Maybe it will change over a period of time and the drawings will probably get better the more I make them but this is just the little launch of it. I'm actually quite happy with how it turned out!

If you want to know any detaills about the actual clothes just ask me. 

What do you think about these drawings?

MAFB Fashionshow

Bonjour ma Cheries,

As you may know I competed in a fashion designing competition last week and..... *drum rolls* I CAME IN SECOND PLACE!! out of 17 super talented designers. I am so honoured and surprised. It's quite a big deal for me. My prize is that I get to show some items at hollands biggest fashion fairs. Which is so cool!
The show was organized by a company called MAFB which means Music and Fashion Battle. They did a great job and the show was amazing!

This is the overall result and I'm really proud of it! I made and sewed everything myself and I've never had any help in how to sew and stuff so I pretty much taught myself to do it. 

We were one of the first to arrive at the venue so we had the entire space to our selves to get the stuff together and ready.

I asked Wies to do the make-up and she did a fabulous job. The models looked stunning! 

She also has a blog so if you would like to check that out click here 

I chose for a braid all around the head wich me and my sister (the model under here) did.

I thought it would look very lovely and girly, which it sertainly did. I'm still very happy with the results!

The other models were all friends of mine and not from model agency's or something like that.

I think they did a great job and I'm very thankfull that they showed my desings in such a lovely way. 

and.... she also did my make-up! 

It was quite a mess backstage due tothe 17 designers and all of their models (max. 6 per designer) and their hair and make-up teams.

 (and these pictures were made at the beginning of the day, imagine what it looked like at the end...)

This is what the venue looked like. The show was held in the 'Centrum voor Beeldende Kunsten' in Amsterdam. I think it looked quite professional! (which the show was though) 

I think something between 100 and 200 people fit in there, and the place was packed!

Well that was about it that I have for you today, more photos will follow as soon as possible!

I really enjoyed myself that day, and I still can't really believe I won... 

(most of the pictures are made by Wies)

Have you ever been to a fashionshow? 

Lots of Love,

Rosa
