Bas Kosters @ Amsterdam Fashion Week

Bas Kosters presented his latest collection "My paper crown" at the first day of the 27th Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Amsterdam. Full of colour, creativity and diversity in his designs and his models.

While the dutch designer Bas Kosters was peeling potatoes and workmen cleaning the catwalk, a fanfare appeared on the catwalk. Followed by models of all sizes and ages in colourful designs. Playing around, gardening and giving sunflowers to each other and the crowd, spreading joy and happiness.

Bas Kosters used mainly recycled materials for his 'My paper crown' collection.

For the dutch branch of World Wildlife Fund he designed a T-shirt in a limited symbolic edition of  3900 shirts, as much as the number of tigers in the wild. To create awareness of the extinction of tigers in wildlife.
This T-shirt can be purchased through WWF for only 39 euros.

Kosters: "In daily life you come across the tiger everywhere; As a print on a phone case, a bathrobe or a picture on the wall. It's weird to realize that there are only 3900 tigers in the wild. A century ago there were 100,000! To convey that message I designed 3900 limited edition shirts. There are only 3900 and away is gone."
