Antoine Peters at Kiki Niesten

Ceci n’est pas un sweater -

Antoine Peters at Kiki Niesten Maastricht

To celebrate arrival of his new collection at Kiki Niesten, Dutch designer Antoine Peters created a sweater with the world's longest sleeves. At this moment he took over Kiki Niesten store with an installation in the window display.
It leads to an unofficial world record, while an application to the Guinness Book of Records is still ongoing. Among the sweater with the longest sleeves you can find his new collection. Several pieces are marked with an qoute by René Magritte 'Ceci n’est pas un sweater'.

Making of FASHIONCLASH Festival 2014 campaign

It's a wrap!
Thanks to great teamwork with talented photographer Lisa Klappe, KEVIN.MURPHY, MAC Cosmetics, Strictua, Karen Kikkert, Veronique Obrie, Josien Hennen, Iris Rijskamp, Nina Willems and our lovely interns.

The 2014 campaign images based on the concept of the theme 'age'.

"Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty." Coco Chanel (1983-1971) 

"How old would you be if you didn't know how old you was*?" Satchel Paige (1906-1982) 

“When You Are Old"

WHEN you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.”
― W.B. Yeats

FASHIONCLASH & MAC Cosmetics

Age Ain't Nothing But A Number

Since the very first edition of our festival, FASHIONCLASH had the honor to work with MAC Cosmetics. Beside their stunning work their team of stylists is a wonderful group of people who know how to combine fun and work.

For the 6th edition of our annual festival, FASHIONCLASH Festival 2014 we have chosen to work with the theme of AGE. The exhibition will be curated around this theme and we working on a inspiring project 'Old(Fashioned) with the Dutch Dance Festival.

The Irish Apfel Collection
MAC collaborated with style icon Iris Apfel on a make-up product line.
Age is but a number, and as if more proof were needed Iris Apfel – New York socialite and style icon - hit the big 90 last year and the world took note. Her  collaboration with MAC is the ultimate coalesce of minds, following a year of incredible, yet unconventional collaborations for the brand, ranging from cult artist Cindy Sherman to fashion pack favourite Daphne Guinness and British designer Gareth Pugh. http://www.maccosmetics.nl
