Trash&Treasures XXL edition garage sale extraordinaire

The best place to shop? We say Brick Lane in London! One of our favorite spots to buy vintage treasures! So we love the idea of a Trash&Treasures event during Amsterdam Fashion Week, inspired on the popular garage sales you see in London. Especially when the event is mixed with live music, Bols cocktails and some hot bloggers. Like the Digitalista’s for example!

Remember the dog? We do!

Jan Taminiau Haute Couture by Petrovsky and Ramone

Digitalistic shoes from Finsk

Since I’ve spotted these shoes on stylebloggers Andy and Sabrina I had to check them out. They are from FINSK. The brand of shoe designer Julia Lundsten. They don’t call her the ‘Eames of footwear’ for nothing, because the designs are almost pieces of architecture.

Time to party @ RAUW!

It’s raw, it’s crazy, it’s a party how we like it! For its next edition RAUW takes a little sideway to fashion. Resident DJ Joost van Bellen (the mustached man) makes a lot of mixes for the fashionshows during AIFW and many international fashionshows, so obviously inbetween Paris Haute Couture and Berlin Fashion week, he will spin the records on July 9. But…also Andre J (the bearded man), Larry Tee (think RuPaul’s hit ‘Supermodel’, or Perez Hilton’s hit ‘My Penis’) and the OddWord (hot guys from Belgium), will make their appearance @ RAUW.

Coming soon: Amsterdam International Fashion Week

Amsterdam International Fashionweek coming soon!

The Amsterdam International Fashion Week is coming up soon. Unfortunately the programme is not that exciting this season, and we’re in the midst of changing things for the Digitalistas, but we’ll try to do our best to find the scoops and report on what our Dutch talents have in mind for us for the Summer of 2011.

Summer, summer, summertime!

Coral Flamingo watch from Triwa Miami Deco collection

Since the moment Triwa Watches were introduced in the Netherland, they’re one big hit! Every self-respected fashionista loves the pretty colors, the childish plastic bracelet often mixed with an little ‘ordinary’ golden time plate.  The prices are really oké, so it’s not that you have to save for months or even years! No, you can just go to the store, see all the candy and pick one, or two, or three. Every season Triwa comes up with some new colors, prints and inspirations. This time it’s Miami, baby! Digitalista. M. immediately fell in love with the one named ‘Coral Flamingo’! “Because this watch matches perfect with her favorite lipstick for this summer Chanel Rouge Allure Génial….”, she said. Yes, Coral-like as well. We even think she found her ‘new it-color’!

We love: Valtifest and Ray-ban

In summer, there are two things we love: Ray-ban (wayfarer, pilot and the new Rare (!)) and Valtifest (one of the best festivals in Holland during the summer). This year the two come together for a spectacular music battle. Are you great with a trombone? Or is your voice better than Madonna’s? Upload a small movie on www.ray-ban.com/nl and maybe they’ll pick you as one of the eight best music talents. The eight finalists have to battle which each other on Valtifest on the 4^th of September. We will be there for sure, so sing for us! PS. Dress up like an cool idiot, because that is what Valtifest is about!

Work in progress

Please forgive us by posting a little less items on our blog this week. We are working on the backside of our website to professionalize thedigitalistas.com If we are off the air or you see some strange bugs, don’t be scared and again, please forgive us.

XOXO The Digitalistas

Runways are soooo 2009! Use a music video instead!

Dutch designer Antoine Peters comes up with something very special on the night before Amsterdam International Fashion Week starts. He will not show his new collection on a classic Runway. No, you can spot his new items in the music video of his first pop song!

Digitalistic graffiti at Converse You’re Here

The Digitalistas Graffiti Art

When Converse invited me for a travelling event called You’re Here, I had no idea what to expect. ‘It is something with all kinds of creative acts and celebrating the spirit of self expression’, they said. Well, and because we love creative people, Digitalista M. took the bus to Antwerp and party AND painted all night long with some cool, relaxed, and above al creative people!

Dutch design for Barbie

Barbie loves Bas Kosters....and so do we!

After her own show during New York Fashion Week last year, Barbie took the plane and came to Holland for a new show with some of her Dutch designer friends. And because Barbie is our friend too (which girl didn’t’ play with her for hours and hours when she was little), we are still fascinated by her amazing wardrobe.

The things Agyness Deyn & friends like

If Aggy starts up a blog, how would it look like? Cool, is the only correct answer. And so is Naag, the new online home of top model Agyness Deyn and best friend Fiona Byrne. Fashionfans had to wait for the blog a little while, but now the website is finally a live! Naag in a few words: ‘Talking about things we like and do and see and feel.’ The Digitalistas became Naag friends immediately! It’s always nice to see what some really cool New York chicks like.  Check them out at www.naag.com

The blogger-boys

There are not that much models blogging. With the exception of Coco Rocha. And that’s a pity, because they have interesting lives. They work with designers and photographers, they travel a lot, meet fascinating people. It’s probably more exciting to read about their adventures than to read that my neighboor has boiled an egg…So thank God for the boys! At least they take the time to give us a peek in their model lives.

Oops, she did it again…

Who did? Lady Gaga did. And what did she do? She’s obviously following good ol’ Madge’s footsteps in matters of controversy. Her new video directed by Steven Klein shows a lot of things Madonna used in her video’s before: SM, simulating orgies, referring to religion, wearing pointy bra’s, dancing half naked, steamy scenes with muscular guys, these guys also wear high heels…

New Amsterdam based EASTPAK Icon store. For the cool kids.

My first memories of EASTPAK, brings me back to high school. Everybody had an EASTPAK! Not as spectacular looking as they do now, but oké (well in fact, my friend had a pink one…Yes, in our village, a pink bag was very rare). We pimped our bags, by putting personal notes on it. Think signatures of friends, kisses from the boy you had an eye on, etc. Nowadays, the EASTPAK collection is so diverse, that you don’t have to spice it up with a big, black pen anymore. No, young, talented designers clear the job for you! It’s nice to see, that a brand with just one main-product, stays up-and-running for years and years. I know for sure, that if I go back to my old high school, the kids will still carry an EASTPAK. If not? Tip: just visit the new Amsterdam based EASTPAK Icon store on Hartenstraat 23.  For Cool Kids Only!

Digi-quote in Supertrash magazine

We’ve got ourselves some press-coverage again. Not something huge, but funny to see that we got quoted this time instead of quoting someone else.

Funny quote of the day

 

Ad. and bum by Tom Ford

‘But this is too much. You may be gay, sexy, and a famous fashion designer, but you are not Tom Ford.’

Our blogger friends from NYC about the new Marc Jacobs BANG ad. on fashionista.com.

Catch of the day: Versace killer heels

Killer boots

Versace chique! Try to keep your balance on these stiletto’s.

Things we can’t afford, but still want to buy, even it will costs us a lifetime full of sandwiches with peanut butter part 3

Love it!

There are some things in life you can’t always have. This cute dress from Hervé Léger is one of it. Bummer!

Digitalista E has a thing for leopard printed stuff

Shawls, T-shirts, dresses, bags, coats …. Even curtains! Digitalista E has an fascination for leopard printed things. No wonder she falls for these Brian Atwood boots.
