Dale Mag 08, November 2006



After seven issues with a Dale Girl on the cover, I decided there is no harm in putting other gorgeous models on the cover of Dale Magazine as well. So for the November issue of Dale Mag the honours go to the slammingly gorgeous fellow Dutchy, Doutzen Kroes. She is a supermodel in the making booking huge million dollar contracts. So an appearance on the cover of Dale Magazine could not be absent from her resumé! For the eighth issue already, Doutzen shines in a beautiful nude picture stating exactly what I want Novemver to do: unveiling The Naked Truth!

Showstoppers S/S 07: John Galliano

After a lukewarm Fall-Winter collection and an unconventional Spring-Summer collection last year, my favourite designer John Galliano had to do something special to win back my entire heart. And so he did! The Spring-Summer 2007 John Galliano collection was one of my favourite collection of the entire fashion week month.

The show started with sharp and tailored suits, dresses and pantssuits, all in white with perhaps a small touch of black. The hoes for this section looked as if they were knitted platforms, which immediatley made them fantastic.


Then some brightly coloured outfits followed, with touches of white and floral, playful prints. The fabrics were fantastic here. From silk to cotton, it was all there. This piece is one of my favourites. The top just looks liquid. Very sexy!


This gold dress caught my eye immediatly. The colours of the flowers are exactly right and the silhouette the dress creates is just lovely. Plus, it looks fantastic on Jessica Stam!


There was a very wearable, sandcoloured part as well is in the show. Easy, but beautiful outfits paraded down the catwalk accesoirised with humongous flowerbroches. This was my favourite look from the particular section.


The show ended with some showstopping bias-cut dresses. They came down in all colours and all kinds of metallic embroidery. But first and formost, with all kinds of hats! Stephen Jones created some gigantic, transparant hats to math the breazy eveningwear Galliano showed. In this collection he had finally struck a perfect balance between dramatic extravagance and desirable wearability. Keep up the good work John!

Showstoppers S/S 07: Burberry Prorsum

Everyone who has been following these fashion weeks must know it by now: armor and metallics are the biggest trends of the Spring-Summer 2007 season. And we've seen a metallic galore at Burberry Prorsum this season. Christopher Bailey worked with aliminumthreads, silverthreads, anything to give his Burberry collection the ultimate shine!

We can clearly see this in this supershiny silvery coat. A cute collar to finish it up and you have the look of the future.


The above is my favourite none-shiny piece of the show. First of all I love the sand colour and the crochet sleeves. They fall perfectly over the wrist and hand. Secon, I love what's going on around the nexk. The fabric's been pleated to shape a very decorative and beautiful neckline.


This white-silver piece is my favourite shiny piece of the show. It just looks so good! The double buttons, the three quartered sleeves and texture of the fabric make this a perfect coat for Summer.


And like every other collection, Burberry had some simple white pieces. White is once again the it-colour of Summer. Bailey got it exactly right with this slightly embellished dress, accessoirised with the perfect bag.


And last but not least, this skirt is just wonderful. I love the colour and how it changes with the light. The shiny, rhinestoned top finishes this look to make it really contemporary and beautiful.
