The idea is simple: one day, one hotel (Hotel Dom), one floor and a lot of rooms, where young designers from Utrecht are offered a stage. A stage ánd several presentations and workshops, all in the name of  sustainable design, streetstyle photography, storytelling photography and innovations in fashion. You can also enjoy several fashion movies at the hotel and at movie house ‘t Hoogt.

The full schedule of topmodel Yfke Sturm doesn’t keep her from contributing for charity. Yfke is one of the ambassadors of the Red Cross and has her own fund named ‘Yfke for Kids Fonds’ where she helps raising money to help children in need worldwide.

The idea of a charity bracelet popped up when she got a little bracelet as a gift from a friend. The tender gesture made her think; why not create a similar piece of jewelry for the Red Cross? Her friends from TOV essentials, Sahrissa and Michael, were totally excited by the idea and together they designed the bracelet that is handcrafted in Florence at the TOV ateliers. The bracelet is a fine piece of jewelry made out of (Red Cross) red coloured string with a small tag with a doublé finishing and with a little stone for an elegant touch.

The idea behind the charity bracelet is that it is a bracelet for every day. You don’t need to take it of while showering or going to the gym. Wear it every day and night and be remembered of the good things you can do for people an especially children in need.

On February 16^th is the festive launch of the Charity Bracelet. The bracelet is for sale via TOV essentials, the magazine Beaumonde and of course Little Soho!

For the 2011 edition of Kerkmeester of the Nieuwe Kerk, is Dutch couturier Mart Visser crowned as ‘Kerkmeester’. From August 26th till October 2^nd De Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam will be transformed into his own designed installation, focused on past and recent Dutch designers.

Bridal couture will be a big part of his showcase because for Visser, marriage is inseparable with De Nieuwe Kerk. “For the installation I specifically chose for the wedding dress. It’s always the last piece of a couture show and often the designers master piece. Also, a lot of wedding dresses are white, which will bring more serenity in De Nieuwe Kerk”.
