During Vodafone Fashion LAB, Zyanya Keizer exhibited her designs. Her collection embodied detail, the female silhouette and art.
Back at the Gashouder, NIVEA Black & White Deodorant presented TONYCOHEN, a collection by Tony Cohen. The pairing of luxurious fabrics with perfect finishing made the collection distinctive.
