Amsterdam Fashion Academy - form

Sometimes beautiful things in life happen at the right time.

Few months ago I partecipated in a Meet up and I had the chance to discover the Amsterdam Fashion Academy. The school is situated in the heart of Amsterdam, closed to Museumplein.
The Director, Ingrid, welcomes you in a really cozy environment and you understand immediately it is a fantastic place to be.
As soon as I took part in the first workshop I had something clear in my mind: I wanted to be a part of it. I wanted to join the school and finally trying to follow my dreams and my passion.
And this is how I decided to attend the short course of Forecasting, buying and marketing.

What I like of the academy is the approach the director and the teachers ( Debbie and Jenny)  have. They always try to encourage you and pass on all the knowledge they have. They teach you the theory and they challange you on the practice.
This institute helps you in a personalized way. They try to understand wht you want to achieve and they give you the tools to try.
You can find different kind of courses: bachelor degree, short courses, part time.
If you want to have more info I suggest you to partecipate in the Meet ups that the Fashion Institute organizes once per month or you can pass by the next Open day. (17th of January).

Have a look at their webiste:

If you need more info feel free to contact me and I can share with you my positive experience!
Good luck!

I think these 2 women have a fantastic style. Think about it: They do not wear anything particularly original. It is all about their attitude and the shapes of their clothes.

Do you agree? Looking forward to reading your comments!

Street styles and interesting shops-form

While I was going around the famous 9 streets in Amsterdam I saw this guy outside a beautiful chic shop.  He was giving directions to tourists.I waited they finished their conversation and then I stopped him and explained I was looking for interesting street styles. He replied: "It is fine with me if you want to take a picture but actually this is the uniform of the shop I work for."
Since the style was really cool I thought it was interesting to ask a business card of the shop:
Marie-Stella-Marie is a new beautiful concept store in the heart of the city. I read a bit about it earlier and it seems it took inspiration from the Human right of water and sanitation. Every product you purchase, they donate a fix amount towards clean drinking water projects.Read more on the website or even better, stop by!

This beautiful sweet girl is working inside a fascinating vintage shop : Retro & Chic. I did not have the time to visit the shop but at first sight it looked full of amazing pieces and small treasures.
Sara ( the girl in the picture) is really friendly and positive and I am sure I will go back to write more about the shop.

Last Saturday I had the pleasure to go around in the city and do what I love: Observing outfits of trendy people around me.

It was a fantastic day. Sunny Amsterdam and good vibes in the air. 

Since I am attending the course at the Amsterdam Fashion Academy I have to push myself out of my comfort zone and use the good tips that I can get from the school.

Last week I published an advert on Facebook: I was looking for a photographer for a fashion project.

I know how to recognize beautiful outfits, stylish people and trends but I am not so good with the camera.

I was so lucky to choose a talented Mexican Photographer: Libia Arteaga.

Libia is really passionate about pictures. She loves the beauty around her and she likes to keep all the beautiful moments she lives through the pictures she takes.

She attended the Fotofakschool in Holland.

Please check her website and her Facebook page.

I found and stopped the stylish people you see and she shoot them.

To all the street people I met: a big thank you! You were amazing to share some of your time with us!

If you like your pics write me an e-mail or leave a comment. I will send you the pics and we can keep in touch on Facebook.
