Fashion designer Sjaak Hullekes and photographer and filmmaker Erwin Olaf are participating in the costume and set design from one of these performances called ‘celebrAGE’. Hullekes announced this on his Twitter and on the
website of Introdans. The play, about the growth and development of man, premieres on October 7 in Schouwburg Arnhem.
It will not be the first time since Hullekes makes theatrical costumes.
His costume design for Introdans’s ‘Walk of fame’ and ‘Positive Sensations’ were previous productions.

Congratulations to Erwin Olaf on having been awarded the ‘Johannes Vermeer Prijs’ in the beginning of June: “The State Secretary for Education, Culture and Science, Halbe Zijlstra, is to present this year’s Johannes Vermeer Award to photographer Erwin Olaf. The jury selected Olaf because of the high quality of his entire oeuvre.”
Almost at the same time, political change in the Netherlands regarding art is causing havoc in the country. Some influential institutions for art, fashion and theatre—Rijksacademie, Premsela and TiN—are on the verge of evaporation. On 26th into 27th of June a demonstration march is launched starting in Rotterdam @ Boymans van Beuningen, in the middle of the night, towards The Hague’s Binnenhof.

As you all may know the biggest fashion event in the Netherlands is taking place as we speak. This year’s concept of the Arnhem Fashion Biennale (AFB) is the search for fashion’s true identity, which is personified in the fictive Amber. With the help of numerous designers ranging from Prada to young talented fashion graduates of Artez, AFB will have identified all that fashion is at the end of the event. This will happen through exhibitions, workshops, lectures and presentations. Since the hottest fashion event in the country has so much to offer we wanted to make it easier for you and pre-select a few cool happenings. Read More »

Since June 19 is the day that daddy’s get to say what they want we thought of a recipe that almost every man would love, beer-braised ribs. Read More »
