Amayzine

Autumn holiday. Not really of course, but Monday and Tuesday were indeed. No alarm clock and starting the day with croissants going into the oven. Because I am away quite a bit in September to visit the fashion weeks, I wanted some quality time with my girls. From Maja the Bee - the movie to the Apenheul where my Prada diaper bag (professional deformation) was hidden in a ‘monkey-proof’ travel bag.

Waking up with Gisèle and Michiel

On Wednesday morning at, god forbid, six o'clock, a link would pop up in my email that would lead to the love story between our Michiel Huisman and Gisèle Bündchen. Designer Lisa was ready in her little house in Rotterdam and through app and email we made sure we were the first to have this commercial online. And yes, we were quite proud of that.

Fashion girls to Rotterdam

Twingo and I toured to Rotterdam where the largest H&M flagship store in Europe was opened. When all the editors-in-chief of the country were together in an elevator, we wondered what it would mean for the profession if this elevator were to crash. “Offers opportunities for the future,” said Hilmar Mulder with her down-to-earth Rotterdam attitude. That's how it is.

And now gala

The next day, the smartest suit was allowed out because there were two invites for the Televizier Gala on the desk. From my love, you know. That evening I am actually just a plus one. But happily because in another life I worked for TV so once a year I see all my former colleagues. The best part was seeing and hearing Ster-winner Chantal Janzen afterwards that she often reads Amayzine and especially likes Jet. And watching my favorite Ilse Delange was also a treat. When I was served a freshly prepared pasta by my love in the evening, I was a happy person. Have a nice weekend.
