Ontfront Spring 2010
Ontfront's recent spring 2010 collection titled " Tonight is the knight" presented at the just concluded Amsterdam International Fashion Week was full of theatrics and an amazing display of machismo. The models did not look like boy toys but soldiers and the metal-esque gloves they wore looked like armor for a battle.

29.07.2009- A Streetcar Named Desire
Rachel Weisz is receiving rave reviews for her performance as Blanche DuBois in 'A Streetcar Named Desire' at the Donmar Warehouse. Weisz is one of my favourite actresses and I admire the fact that despite her Oscar winning success in film (Best Supporting Actress, The Constant Gardener, 2006) she is still keen to challenge herself by returning to the stage, playing a character made infamous by Vivien Leigh in the 1951 film. With such a high profile name playing the title role, tickets are sure to be like gold dust, so snap yours up while you can!
