Report | Given Fashion at the Amsterdam Fashion Week

30/01/2017 | Reageer

Previous saturday, I went to the Amsterdam Fashion Week for the first time. I was invited by Given to watch their AW17 collection fashionshow with a guest. I really like the clothing of Given! In my opinion they always have beautiful collections. When I was invited to visit the showroom back in September to Meet Miss Netherlands and to recieve a dress, because I won a like & share competition, I already saw a lot of the beautiful clothing besides of already checking them out often on Instagram.As well, the previous fashion show was shown on a screen in the showroom. The collections of Given are luxurious and stylish. As Given describes as well – their collections are featured with elegant, feminine fits and luxurious materials.

The first collection that got shown was the one of Heav’n, which got opened with dancers and great music. Following up was the collection of Given itself – where model and Miss Netherlands 2015; Jessie Jazz, was the first coming up on stage. As final, before everybody of the show came together on stage, the stylish collection of IVGVN got shown.

(All pictures in this post are taken by me with my camera)

Afgelopen zaterdag ben ik voor het eerst naar de Amsterdam Fashion week geweest. Ik was door Given uitgenodigd om hun AW17 show te bezoeken, samen met een introducé. Zelf vind ik de kleding van Given top en in mijn mening hebben ze altijd mooie collecties. Toen ik uitgenodigd was in de showroom afgelopen September om Miss Nederland te ontmoetten door het winnen van een actie & een jurk aan te passen die ik o.a daarmee heb gewonnen, heb ik al veel mogen aanschouwen van de mooie items – naast ze daarnaast ook op Instagram te checken. Ook was op dat moment de vorige show te zien op een scherm in de showroom. De collecties van Given zijn luxueus en stijlvol. Zoals Given het zelf ook beschrijft, worden de collecties zoals altijd gekenmerkt door elegante, vrouwelijke pasvormen en luxe materialen. 

De eerste collectie die getoond werd was die van Heav’n, die geopend werd met danseressen en top muziek. Vervolgens Given zelf – waar model en Miss Nederland 2015; Jessie Jazz, als eerste de catwalk op kwam. Als laatste, vóór iedereen gezamenlijk de catwalk op kwam, werd de stijlvolle IVGVN mannen collectie getoond.

(Alle beelden in deze post zijn door mij gemaakt met mijn camera)

Personally, my favorite items of the show where the black coat and the camel coloured coat with the fur details. What I saw repeating itself often in the collections where colours such as navy, grey, black and red. Besides that, I saw buttons and ruffles often. I loved the pointed heels which most of the models where wearing as well. The friend that joined me to the fashionshow and I where both happy to have visited it.
Persoonlijk waren mijn favoriete items van de show de zwarte jas en camel kleurige jas met de fur bovenkant. Wat ik vooral in de collecties terug zag komen waren kleuren zoals marine blauw, grijs, zwart en rood. Daarnaast ook veel knopen en ruffles. De stiletto’s die door veel modellen werden gedragen zijn ook echt prachtig! De show was gaaf en de vriendin die ik meenam naar de show en ik zelf waren beide blij het te hebben mogen zien.

Wait for the end! ✈️ 
Some women wait for love to start living.
I booked the ticket anyway. 

Some of the most beautiful moments of my life happened because I stopped waiting, for permission, for certainty, for someone to come with me.

Solo travelling taught me that freedom can be lonely sometimes, but also deeply empowering. It gave me sunsets in countries I once only dreamed about, strangers that became memories, confidence I never learned at home, and versions of myself I would’ve never met if I stayed safe.

I may not have everything figured out yet, but I’ve lived. Deeply. Wildly. Internationally.
And honestly? That already makes me rich in life.

I know it’s not a possibility for every woman in the world to do this. Something travel also showed me over and over again.

Tulum, mi destino mágico 🌙🌴🌵
Some months ago I had the beautiful privilege to stay at @villa_hunab_ku multiple times - an absolute masterpiece and truly my aesthetic dream place in Tulum.

I remember sitting in the bathtub on the balcony of the master bedroom, the one I chose out of the five… in complete silence. Just looking out into the trees, feeling the warmth, and realizing how incredibly grateful I felt in that moment.

Grateful to be able to create a life where I get to travel, experience places like this, and even work with them. Something that once felt far away, and now feels like something I’ve slowly built for myself - step by step, by staying true to who I am and not letting other people’s opinions define me or hold me back.

At this villa, everything felt calm.
Safe. Peaceful. Grounded.

Waking up slowly, biking through Aldea Zamá to Nimenõ for my favorite coffee and breakfast just a few minutes away… those simple moments that end up meaning the most.

This villa is perfect for a group trip or something like a bachelorette, but I also loved experiencing it in my own way. Having the space to myself, inviting friends over sometimes, and just enjoying the balance between connection and stillness.

That balance felt very aligned with me.

Gracias en todos, @villa_hunab_ku 🤍
