STEPPIN' OUT STORE NBR. 15 - AMSTERDAM

Yesterday, Steppin' Out opened it's doors at Gelderlandplein, Amsterdam. They revealed their new and elevated store concept. 

Steppin' Out started in 1983 in Utrecht as a second-hand store, students easily found the way for a vintage tweed jacket or a nice shirt. Today Steppin' Out has 15 stores in The Netherlands, still a go to heaven for the prepsters around us. Stocked with products from brands like William Lockie, Barbour, Sebago and many more, but also a great collection Steppin' Out shirts, pants, knits etc.

This new concept store has the influence of a Long Island beach house combined with an English Estateand a touch of a New York loft. Warm wood, crisp tiles and colors in summer white and denim blue, steel elements and a tin ceiling above the cash desk.

Hope to see you soon in Amsterdam.

TIE DYE FOR - SUMMER OF LOVE 2019

With MSGM and Louis Vuitton both showcasing tie-dye in their SS19 collections, the throwback favorite is big news for this season. Adopted by various counter cultures, starting with hippies in the '70s right through to raveheads in the '90s, it's a nostalgic moment that still somehow feels so right for now. Are you ready for a #TBT to the 70's?

IT'S A GIRLS THING - IN A MANSWORLD

The Movie Annie Hall must be the inspiration for these girls at the latest Fashion Fairs.

Diane Keaton who played Annie in this romantic blockbuster from 1977, is dressed mostly in menswear.  She created a look which had an influence on the fashion world during the late-70s, with women adopting the style: layering oversized, mannish blazers over vests, billowy trousers or long skirts, a man's tie, and boots. The look was often referred to as the "Annie Hall look".
