    Amsterdam International Fashion Week Spring/ Summer 2010: ...

    This has been Elsien Gringhuis' first show at Amsterdam Fashion Week that she presented individually. Gringhuis studied at Artez in Arnhem and works for G-Star Raw denim at the moment. The collection she showed at AIFW 2010 looks rather strict, with straight lines and a minimal, clean cut silhouette, in addition to lots of shiny fabrics with very well made details. "Focus" is the theme of her collection, a collection about all the stress and chaos we go through all day and the need to focus on what really matters and what makes a difference in our day-to-day lives. Although it's not certain if she will produce her collection (she is still looking for ateliers) you can buy a real Gringhuis soon at Hema (www.hema.nl). She won the Hema design contest with a raincoat she made from biological cotton and rubber coating. Click the slideshow to see her show at Amsterdam International Fashion Week!

    Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week SWIM Runway: Red Carter

    A swimsuit is a swimsuit is a swimsuit, right? Not if it's a Red Carter design! They challenge your idea of a conventional one-piece or bikini and have you lusting after the interesting and daring details of their suits. Red Carter isn't tentative or apologetic about their extreme and avant-garde outlook. There are, of course, colorful and lively patterns that stimulate the eye, but it is the space-age metallic leggings or edgy hardware that garner the most attention. It's the optical illusion patterns and the oversized, brightly colored, Lolita-like details that make you sit up a little straighter and stare a little longer. The strapless tops and wild animal prints earned more than a few double-takes... and possibly neck injuries! Beach coverings were elegant and luxurious. Men in speedos and barely-there briefs have never been my thing, but if all men looked like the male models did in Red Carter's bold and edgy "trunks," then I may just have to rethink my stance! For more crazy, but completely wearable and desirable swim looks, check out our slideshow! Photo credit: Getty Images

    Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week SWIM Runway: Diesel

    When it comes to fashion, summer conjures up one thought and one thought only: swimwear! This year, Diesel came through with contrasting colors and daring silhouettes at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week swimwear runway shows, fittingly held in Miami. Always known for their industrialized and city chic style, Diesel presented a swimwear collection that was exciting, sexy and right on with their brand image. Classic black and white was made edgy and pop colors included vibrant, sensual red and icy-cold metallics. Besides the regular length board shorts, there were trunks that would be better classified as briefs, and not swimwear, in bright blues, shocking reds and funky patterns. Definitely for the confident beach-goer! Aside from the blazing bikinis and boxer brief trunks, Diesel also presented some casual beach coverings for those who want to show a little modesty. Models with football shoulder pads and sporty knee socks paraded down the catwalk, but it was the luxuriously laid-back look of shirts, pants and dresses that caught the eye. Simple silhouettes were made edgy with added details and interesting fabrics. The sack dress cover-up had a nonchalantly chic style that could work for evenings on the beach, or for a night out with some rocker-style accessories. Loose fitted tops and stark white skinny jeans gave the men an air of European sex appeal. A personal favorite off the Diesel swim runway? The overall-inspired, olive green one-piece, a totally original idea that's sexy yet demure and would look amazing under a pair of white shorts!
