Spring Summer 09 in a place of natural void
To portray a collection that explores subtleties and nuances we wanted to go to a place where a natural lack of details would become a backdrop, yet where nature itself would provide the warmth and soft sensuality that is portrayed in the collection and very much the brand.
What we searched for was a place that would be able to act as a side-scene but could also master it’s own identity in a way. Have a look at our own behind the scenes images below.
We think we found it.

in lovely Amsterdam
Café George-Leidsegracht 84, Amsterdam
A few of us have been to Amsterdam not too long ago and found our way to the beautiful Café George. So if you find yourself strolling around in Amsterdam in search for a place to sit down, please go to Café George! You get a feeling of stepping into a world, where you can feel at ease with a cup of coffee or just something to eat. It is a perfect mix between french bistro and casual chiqueness.

our warmest recommendations
Fantastic Man is the gentleman’s style journal and brainchild of founders Gert Jonkers and Jop van Bennekom. The magazine aims high at being an “anti-fashion” fashion magazine with an intelligent approach to to the modern man and pleasantly delivers with, as the expression goes, flying colours.
Upon our first encounter we instantly knew we both co-existed in the same realm of thought and values. Fantastic Man is, in the same way as Filippa K, about the man in the clothes rather than the clothes themselves and the refreshingly quirky approach to serious journalism is in every way satisfying.
Tonight Filippa K, Fantastic Man and Peres Projects will host an intimate dinner in London to celebrate a new season in art with a following cocktail. We can’t tell you enough how excited we are to join together if just for one night and promise to bring back pictures for you all!

Javier Peres
Mark Titchner-installation view: IT IS YOU, Arnolfini, Bristol
Javier Peres is the contemporary art dealer who runs exciting Peres Projects in Los Angeles and Berlin, but considering the global phenomenon he has become, it’s easy to say that what he and the artists he represents leave a mark on the art world in much greater spread than in those specific cities.
Mr. Peres has come to represent some of the most interesting contemporary artist today, names such as Terence Koh and Dash Snow exhibit their work through Peres Projects, however Mr. Peres also runs Asia Song Society (ASS) in New York together with mentioned Mr. Koh. At the compact Chinatown space the gallery holds secret opening receptions and runs unconventional art projects often with a certain tongue in cheek air and wink towards an industry inclined to take itself very seriously.
Mark Titchner is one of the artists that is represented through Peres Projects and someone we at Filippa K greatly admire. Mr. Titchners sculptural installations are often in mixed medias that combine old and new technologies – the outcome being thought provoking in commenting on conflicting ideologies and old fashion ideas. Whilst doing so without using cynicism Mr Titchners work allows for the viewer to reflect upon what has been described as ” our blind faith in science and our obedience to authority”. As Mr Titchner puts it himself his aim in his work is to expose “a dialogue about how you receive thought and ideas”.
Mr Titchner graduated from pop cultural green house Central Saint Martins College of Fashion and Art, London in 1995 and was one of the nominees for the prestigious Turner Prize in 2006.
