eetinspiratie fashion matters?
given our motto food equals fashion, we traditionally create twice a year during amsterdam fashion week eating experiences which are fashion related. the projects vary from forecasts for fashion fabrics to interpretations of textile textures. in july 2013, our inspirational concept is dutch fashion design.
the eat’inspiration fashion matters? consists of a selection of five renowned dutch fashion designers. the dining experience showcases interpretations of the unique view of viktor & rolf, the prominent patterns of spijkers & spijkers, an eye for detail and love for the craft of embroidery of jan taminiau, the anti-fashion of bas kosters and the material explorations of iris van herpen.
fashion matters? reflects the work and ideas related to fashion of the five selected dutch fashion designers, but in edible form.
in particular, the colourful anti dessert -an interpretation of the work of bas kosters- was unexpectedly highly appreciated by the majority of our guests, as well as our interpretation of the flower bomb by viktor & rolf.

without eve & apple there would not be a fashion industry
“without eve & apple there would not be a fashion industry…… and at the same this thought connects food & fashion” (marjolein wintjes)
for downtown amsterdam fashion week we created a 3 days only eat’inspiration RAW: a colour & texture forecast for fashion fabrics summer 2013 in 5 dishes. and at the same time a forecast for food.
RAW is not about raw food, RAW is a notion that encompasses various trends, a reflection of the Zeitgeist. the most striking features we have captured in dishes forecasting for future food & fashion. these are: native, earth, unique, unfinished and naturel.
the dish naturel features the meaning of naked expressed by the notion RAW. and naked reminded us of adam, eve, and apple. so a dish was born, we translated naturel or naked in 5 different preparations of apple to illustrate apple naturel.
in other words: without food there would be no fashion.
12-13-14 juli 2012: raw. where food & fashion meet.
take a bite of RAW. an unparalleled food = fashion forecast s/2013 and beyond… in 5 dishes. by the way, RAW is not synonymous with raw food or raw vegetables. but what do we dish up instead?
the main ingredients of RAW are roughness/unfinished, essence, reflection, trial-error, transparancy, , artisan, basic, roots, naturel, sweat & love, and unique/only copy.
at this very moment people and organizations are in the middle of re-inventing their relationship with nature, with their social environment and with themselves. we visualize this re-interpretation process and trend with the concept of RAW.
we have translated the most striking features of RAW to 5 dishes for you. the result: a color and texture forecast for food & fashion S/2013 and beyond … which can only be experienced by eating.
it is already the 7th time that we created a culinary adventure for the downtown programme of amsterdam fashion week.
