<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Gek eigenlijk, dat ik nog nooit over de leukste winkel van Amstelveen heb geblogd, waar ik </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">nota bene </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">al bijna een jaar wèrk - <i>shame on me</i>! Maar nu kan ik er ook niet onderuit, want ik ben trots! Trots op onze nieuwe website! Wat is ze mooi en ze is helemaal LOT (Love Our Things), zoals de gezellige plek heet waar je terecht kunt voor een <i>vurrukkukluke </i>latte, espresso, macchiato of verse thee, originele kadootjes voor de grote en kleine LOT, (home) accessoires, sieraden en natuurlijk de tofste kleding! <b>Love Our Things</b> op <a href="http://lot-amstelveen.nl/">lot-amstelveen.nl</a>! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">'De wereld staat in brand' om de hedendaagse gruwelijkheden maar eens simpel samen te vatten. Hoewel de media het allemaal niet bijgeschreven en gedocumenteerd krijgt gaat het leven van alledag in Europa 'gewoon' door. Zo ook in modeland, althans, wat Europa betreft. Naast Marc Jacobs die perfect timed met zijn collectie met militaire inspiraties (</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">"</span><a href="http://www.style.com/fashion-shows/spring-2015-ready-to-wear/marc-jacobs/" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Military clothes are part of the fashion vernacular now</a><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">") wordt mode weer uitbundig gevierd met prachtige collecties, dat wel. Niets mis mee, maar in Oekraïne laten ze zien dat het ook anders kan. Vice toont een interessante </span><a href="http://www.vice.com/nl/fashion-week-internationale" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">documentaire </a><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">over de </span><b style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Fashion Week in Kiev</b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> (eens wat anders dan Parijs, Milaan of New York) waar designers de gewelddadigheden van </span><i style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">alledag</i><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> niet genegeerd hebben. Modellen met maskers, pantsers en niets verhullende teksten sieren de catwalks. Sommige ontwerpers hebben zelfs hun werk tijdelijk neergelegd om massaal kogelvrije vesten te maken. Deze ontwerpers laten zien dat ze een deel zijn en willen zijn van de maatschappij en zich niet in gouden torens met champagne afzonderen van de werkelijkheid. Touché!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Tattoos. Prachtig kunnen ze zijn, lief, krachtig en stoer. Toen ik klein was vond ik ze al mooi en viste daarom altijd de asterix&obelix kauwgom met <i>plakplaatjes </i>tussen de dropjes en lollies vandaan. Tot een 'echte' is het nog niet gekomen, want helaas zijn ze <i>forever...</i> Dus daarom hou ik het maar bij de <i>temporary ones</i>, zoals die van <a href="http://tattly.com/">tattly.com</a>.

expressionele en uitdagende creaties met dito modellen van de heren Suk en
Hutting, want het zijn jou en mijn maten die de catwalk over flaneren (zoals ze
het zelf omschrijven staan ze voor een ‘beleving van gelijkwaardigheid en
versterking van de eigen identiteit’). Begeleid door drie paar zingende en

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Yesterday, as a birthday present for<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>mi boy</i>, we went to an intimate
concert from<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Clementine" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span lang="EN-US">Benjamin Clementine</span></a><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">at the MC Theater in
Amsterdam. This singer and songwriter from London has spent a number of years
homeless in Paris, the city where he wrote his first song called<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Cornerstone</i> and where he
got popular in the music scene. Its performance with the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJJNl1p-PGA" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span lang="EN-US">song</span></a><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">on the BBC television show<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Later With Jools Holland</i> in
2013 was amazing, or even more than that, and made me decide to buy tickets for
his show. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After waiting for a few minutes he
appeared in a long coat, without buttons, which he uneasily hold during the
entire show. I was wondering if he was maybe hiding a glamorous outfit
underneath, but the question remained unanswered. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The stage was occupied by
a black piano, a microphone and one spot on Clementine, no more was needed. The
spotlight, which couldn’t reach his eyes, made him look like a ghostly shadow
and highlighted his characteristic cheekbones. His appearance makes him one of
a kind (little ears, big head with tall hair, tight body and great piano hands),
just like his performance: his pervasive voice which goes from <i>opera</i> high to very <i>bass</i> low gave me goose bumps many times. He has a great timing and
both fast and slow melodies easily overflow each other. In some songs these
characteristics came perfectly together. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The powerful and loud singing
voice contrasts the soft and staccato tone when he speaks, which I noticed when
he tried to have contact with us (the audience). And although he shows his
sense of British humor, he is not into pleasing his public and therefore not
afraid to point out that he ‘<i>hate[s] it
when people are whispering’</i> during his performance. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12pt;">To sum: the concert is
something to be repeated, definitely. His piano-playing may not all the time be at its best and
neither does his vocalism, but that’s not what it’s about. When you visit one
of Benjamin Clementine’s concerts you get an experience of personal emotion and
play, his </span><i style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12pt;">rough</i><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 12pt;"> way of singing and
playing is pure, raw and honest. I’m a fan.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I just
sold a fashion item at a fresh and brand new <b>online network for second hand fashion</b> which gets rid of <i>all the other massive ones</i> where your
new posted clothes get drowned under a million pounds of <i>waste</i> (and therefore hardly sell one). This one is different (at
least it tries to be and I think it has great potential), because it not only
takes its responsibility for the money, but you can also <b>create your ‘own webshop’</b> which other can follow (!), and therefore
you can follow others too. The things I like the most is that the website is
very accessible and that you can chat and post messages with your future <i>buyer</i> or <i>seller</i>. So, don’t hesitate, dive into your closet or into the network
for a fashion piece from <a href="http://www.unitedwardrobe.nl/category/women.html">UNITED WARDROBE</a></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I’m so
glad that I discovered the website <a href="http://www.whatdesigncando.nl/">whatdesigncando</a>.nl (my boyfriend gave me
this tip). The name says it already: this website shows what design can do both
for the world and for you. And this morning I read on their blog about the
Design School (D.School) at Stanford, and you know what enthused me so much
about it? It is a school which <b>IS NOT FOR DESIGNERS ONLY</b>(!!!). <i>Hallelujah! </i>Also <i>innovators </i>from the industry and <b>students</b> <b>from all academic
disciplines and education </b>come together to solve problems and ‘to achieve
extraordinary results for any case’. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One of
the founders of this school is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_M._Kelley">David Kelley</a> (American businessman, entrepreneur,
designer and teacher, according to Wikipedia), who gave a wonderful and
convincing talk called “How to Build Your Creative Confidence” (TED, 2012). He
says that creativity is not for the ‘chosen ones’, but that everybody is
naturally creative. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You really should watch his talk, because it <b>not
only will give you creative confidence </b>but you also get to understand <b>why
creativity is so important and great to have</b>. Did someone ever tell you that
you are not creative? He or she was definitely wrong. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Do you recognize this banner from the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2014 (Amsterdam)?? What do you think about the model's clothes? I am really proud (and I hope I don't act like a <i>bragging snob </i>right now) to introduce you to <b>a lovely friend</b> of mine who is the designer behind the campaign. She is a really (and that is not put mildly), <b>really talented fashion designer, <i>dreamer </i>and source of inspiration</b>. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Like Joris Suk and Hans Hutting (from <a href="http://maisonthefaux.tumblr.com/about">Maison the Faux</a>) <a href="http://anneleenbertels.wordpress.com/">Anneleen Bertels</a> - that's her name, remember it! - graduated with Fashion Design at Artez Institution of Arts in Arnhem last year. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In an interview at the <a href="http://www.fashionweek.nl/en/news/the-story-of-anneleen-bertels">website </a>of the fashion week, she explains that with her graduation collection she searched 'for the influence of the interaction between human beings and personal space. She questioned how we will play with luxury in the future and thinks that <i>it is a clash, resulting in a luxurious utility</i>'.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Her collection is <i>layerd (</i></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">both literally and figurative)</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">, poetic, authentic, stubborn/closed and futuristic. I think it kind of reflects her character, in my opinion, if you would know Anneleen you would understand the collection even better.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Do you want to get to know her better? I'm sure you won't regret it ;) Visit this week (Wednesday, Thursday or Friday), during the fashion week, Het Ketelhuis in Amsterdam and watch her movie, which will lead you into her dream world, literally. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Maison the Faux is a young label under the creative direction of Joris Suk and Hans Hutting. They met each other at Artez Institute of the Arts in Arnhem and graduated last year in Fashion Design. They describe themselves as '<i>creative, strange, openminded individuals</i>' and they (as well as the people they work with at Maison the Faux) are to 'take fashion, couture and <b>trash to a next level</b> and create a Couture Fashion House <i>like no one has ever seen before'</i>. - do I need to say more? </span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I just posted a tweet to @AsicsAmsterdam to ask them about the working conditions and an endurable wage for people in Colombia who make their products, like my pink running shoes? Mirjam Sterk made me do this. I saw her documentary (at <a href="http://www.uitzendinggemist.nl/afleveringen/1378846">Uitzendinggemist</a>)about Sophea, who works at a garment factory in Colombia, because, since the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/bangladesh-garment-industry">collapse of the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh</a> in April this year (which killed more than 1000 w<span style="color: #111111;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">orkers), I don't dare to buy anything at the H&M or ZARA anymore. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #111111;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #111111;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Okay, to be honest, I bought one long grey dress for a <a href="https://www.google.nl/search?q=colour+festival+utrecht&espv=210&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=2pSGUo-2F8qH0AXY9YGYAg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=667">colour festival</a> last summer at the H&M (even when I saw it was 'made in Bangladesh', so the person who made it could be dead!). But I didn't had any 'fashionable' clothes that could get dirty, and - as you may understand - I didn't want to spend too much money on a dress I could probably only wear once (yeah right, I hear myself think right now). But,</span></span></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20px;"> </span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20px;">the dress came </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #111111;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">- </span></span></span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20px;">unexpectedly</span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20px;"> - </span><span style="color: #111111; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20px;">CLEAN(!) out the washer... hmmmm, so knowing that people <i>gave their lives</i> while making the dress,... this sounds really ridiculous, but it's the truth... So my idea was, and still is, to make a statement (with that dress). I want to write a question on the dress like: 'This dress is made in Bangladesh, should I feel guilty?'. </span><br />
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">After seeing the documentary I think I should, but that docu is saying only one 'half' of the story. And although that half story is saying a lot abouth the truth, I want to hear the truth and the other half of the story from the big (fat of dirty money?) companies like H&M, Mango, ZARA, Esprit, Asics, Vero Moda etc. What do they know about the working conditions in 'their' fabrics, and do they care about it? And knowing that a country like Colombia is not comparable to a Western, prosperous country like the Netherlands, what are 'good' working conditions and an 'endurable' wage like? And what are the consequences of this <i>improvement?</i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">pfff okay, a lot of questions, but I think this is important to think about. And maybe you are wondering where you can buy a lovely 'Fair' dress? Well, at <a href="http://www.fairwear.org/562/your_shoppinglist/">fairwear </a>you can make your own shopping list with brands that are fair or at least take the necessary steps to get there. Or download the <a href="http://www.talkingdress.nl/gids.htm">talking dress app</a>. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Hmmm... a lot of dresses included in this text, but this message is also for the lovely men! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Ps. I will keep you posted about the <i>possible</i> answer of AsicsAmsterdam. I hope so, because I really like to keep on buying Asics running shoes...</span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">How
beautiful they might look, the much more confidence they might give you or
whatever reason you have to walk on <b>higher-than-high-heels</b>, I still prefer
comfort (I think I’m naturally a ‘flats person’) and I only wear – the most
comfortable I can find – heels at special occasions. So, especially for those
moments, for high-heels-lovers and the ‘naturally heels persons’ (and everybody
in between) some tips from the <i>professionals!
</i>Like how do you get gracefully out of a car? Or when do you have to buy
your shoes/heels? I’ll give you already the answer on the latter from <a href="http://intothegloss.com/2013/08/sarah-rutson-fashion-director-lane-crawford/">Sarah Rutson</a> (fashion director at <a href="http://www.lanecrawford.com/">LaneCrawford</a>): <i>“Never buy heels in the
morning, do it in the afternoon when your feet have expanded” > </i>that’s a
good one, </span><i><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">non?!</span><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
