Dizzy.

Lots of people behave or dress differently in different situations. Always changing like a chameleon just leaves you dizzy.

For this collection I demolished and recycled an entire leather couch and added some dyed silk and cotton. In total, the collection contains approximately 32 meter zipper.

Fashion for Dizzy People.

For this outfit I demolished and recycled an entire leather couch and added some dyed cotton. The garment is completely composed out of triangles and zippers (twelve meter zipper in total).

Transformation.

Last Wednesday I visited the Graduation show of the senior fashion design students of the Utrecht School of Arts (HKU). A few talents caught my eye and Nynke Eggen was one of them. She made a collection named Transformation.



Her collection is based on the iconic women's suit, which represents the spirit of the past fifty years: years in which our society was predominantly around male properties. Now our society is changing; it is heading for a more feminine society and Nynke tries to express this transformation in her collection by transforming the traditional women suit.



During the show, it seemed as if there was a transformation as model after model entered the catwalk. The first model seemed to wear the traditional women's suit as we know it. But the silhouette changed with each and every model. They all had references to the suit though. And the soft colored suits were combined with tough and high leather boots.



Nynke has not launched her website yet, so far we just have to do it with her pictures. But hopefully we'll hear more from her in the next couple of years!

Friday Food \ Coconut Macaroon Pancakes.

With the not so summery weather outside and fathers day in prospective, I thought it would be a good idea to give you some inspiration for an extensive and - of course - delicious breakfast. I've never had pancakes for breakfast before, but in the USA it's a common thing to eat in the morning. Maybe good for us Dutchmen to push our conservative old breakfast habits aside for once and try these special coconut and macaroon-flavoured pancakes. Or maybe it’s a good way to show the love for your father or the father of your children? And they're not difficult to make either: just eight ingredients and about ten minutes separate you from a stack of these little miracles.

Carl Kleiner.

Carl Kleiner is a photographer with a passion for surrealism, emotional properties and geometry. The works of the Swedish photographer are definitely showing love for the beautiful things in life. He has a range of humorous, compelling and occasionally shocking images in his portfolio. Playing with props, models, colours and concepts, there are a lot of different ideas in his photography.

It's hard to choose which images of him I should share here, because there is such a variety in his works and the images are all very beautiful. He makes photographs of, for example, creepy life-size Barbie dolls, graceful paper airplanes and everyday objects arranged to produce mind-melting geometric shapes. Just take a look at the images I gathered here and check out his portfolio and blog for more brilliant works.
