Amsterdam International Fashion Week 2010

AIFW 2010 was an impressive event. As promised, we have covered the event and brought to you some videos from it so far. We are intending to release more impressions, images and videos from that event in the following weeks, so stay tuned.

This article will deal with beautiful people our camera hunted during the event. As you know, this even is invitation only and many famous people are visiting it. Dress up for the event is a must and people do make sure they are being noticed. Here are few examples:

Fashion review at AIFW 2010: The Digitalistas

Not like us here, some people do understand fashion. When it comes to taste, design fashion and trends, we turn to three lovely ladies, named the Digitalistas that are invited to many fashion events in the Netherlands and cover it for their own blog: www.thedigitalistas.com

The Digitalistas were kind enough to share their insight on the AIFW Amsterdam International Fashion Week and we were happy to interview them on the event itself.  

Amsterdam Fashion Week 2010

After we have tortured you all with football for few weeks, it is time for fashion. This week, the Amsterdam Fashion week starts and we are happy to let you in on the latest in fashion.

Last night, two design houses presented their collection for Next spring.

Iris van Herpen represented an avant-garde couture image with a slightly futuristic undertone.

Design duo Truus en Riet Spijkers will launch a new line for Spring Summer 2011. The twinsisters have created a diffusion line that will be a sister to their existing main line Spijkers en Spijkers and has the very suitable name: SIS by Spijkers en Spijkers.

We will keep updating you about the latest from the events at Amsterdam International Fashion Week.

Dutch World Cup celebrations

The Dutch decided to overcome the loss in the world cup finals and focus on the celebrations for welcoming the second best football team.

Two F-16 fighters escorted the team's KLM flight on entrance to the Dutch air space. The three aircraft approached Shiphol airport in low altitude over Amsterdam generating rare and spectacular view for below cheering supporters.

After a welcome from the Queen the football team cruised on Amsterdam canals looking at thousands of supporters of which some could not help it and jumped to the water.

The team ended the day in a major rally at Museumplein Amsterdam where thousands of people came to celebrate the achievement. As so nicely put at the event: Spain might be the world champion, but we have the best supporters in the world.

Dutch celebrations after World cup semi finals

We have met Cecile & Elsa at Museumplein right after the Dutch victory at World Cup semi finals.

The two are former Bavaria girls, no not the ones that were arrested in South Africa, but ones with better luck. They had a great time cheering for the Dutch team and would like to share that with our readers and viewers.  

The interview is a bit hectic, but does say it all.

Bali: The Paradise Island
Jul 20, 2010 at 08:50 PM

The island of Bali offers a vacation experience like no other. Glorious beaches, lush rainforests, luxurious villas, and a fascinating native culture make this island a true paradise for visitors.

Bali is an Indonesian island on the western end of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Its capital is the city of Denpasar in the south. Visitors tend to flock to Kuta, Sanur, and Jimbaran, all southern coastal towns, but the central town of Ubud and other parts of Bali are equally compelling. Gleaming white and black sand beaches ring the island's shores, lapped gently by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Rich coral reefs surround the island and allow for superb snorkeling and diving. The island rises in mountains toward its interior, and bursts with tropical flowers and trees. Bali's rainforests are home to hundreds of species of rare birds as well as monkeys, bats, wild cats, and other creatures.
