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.
drive to a different beat
drive to a different beat, an event hosted by bentley in shanghai (june 2012). the keywords of the overall event concept, developed and executed by dvp china eventmarketing (dvp), are:
- the colours dragon red + black
- transformation,
- and drive to another beat.
together with dvp de culinaire werkplaats created a catering concept based upon these keywords. so all the canapés, the welcome drink and cocktails communicate individually the 4 main aspects of the event.
