Dutch Award Shows 2011

Posted on 19/07/2011 by Mimi Berlin Amsterdam

Fashion graduates 2011 are competing.

Sanne Schepers won the G-Star Raw Talent Award. She made her collection completely by hand. This couture collection was awarded by a jeans-label, interesting….. (more)

The Frans Molenaar Prijs was won by Magnus Dekker. Magnus’s collection is machinemade. Mr Molenaar is a Couturier, hmm, an intricate switch? Or just a case of plain randomness? Both Sanne and Magnus graduated from Artez, Arnhem‘s fashion department. Congrats!!

Frans Molenaar is a dutch couturier, who donates €10.000 taken from his AOW (State Old Age Pensions Act), so he says. (runway photo’s by Peter Stigter)

He’s has not yet retired, but he did design a safety roller for the elderly.
