From September 5 through October 10, 2009, Amsterdam gallery RONMANDOS presents a duo art show on the theme of masculinity, male beauty and self-perception, combining a selection of photographs from the series World Without Women by Ruud van der Peijl with the unsettling doll sculptures ‘Les Plus Beaux’ by artist Silia B.
Read my press release here, and see you there!
The press release I wrote for this project is in Dutch so translated in short: Holland’s one and only star-catwalk photographer Peter Stigter started Peter Stigter aan de Muur, a foundation through which he will sell a selection of his free and unpublished work: unique catwalk and fashion week images captured by the master’s eye. From mid-november 2009 these limited edition king size prints, courtesy of Canon, are sold via www.peterstigteraandemuur.nl
All profit will be donated to local organisations helping the blind and partially sighted. 
For the third time in a row I was proud to collaborate on communication for Arnhem Fashion Biënnale. This time around a beautiful magazine was created around this edition’s theme SHAPE, for which I got to interview Raf Simons for Jil Sander, G+N, Cosmic Wonder Light Source, Klavers van Engelen and Saskia van Drimmelen for Painted Series along with labouring some 30 highly condensed biographies (someone’s got to do it ;-). As a prelude to the Arnhem Fashion Biënnale (June 6 - July 6, 2009) get the magazine for only 5 euros at www.elsevier.nl/AMB
In any case don’t miss the solo exhibition Holy House by Carmen Freudenthal and Elle Verhagen at MMKArnhem (June 6 - August 23, 2009)
Mr. Jop van Bennekom, the celebrated art director behind infamous titles RE-, Butt & Fantastic Man basically owed me a little favour and designed this lovely foxy logo for Mrs. Mo Veld (together with all the stationary going with it, naturally). Now all I have to figure out is how to incorporate it into my header. Tips welcome ;-)
I’m not about to start a full fledged fashion blog. This is in fact meant to become my online portfolio. But since the blog roll is there I’ll try and entertain you from time to time while digitalizing archives, figuring out categories and how to incorporate different media for you to source.
So here’s a golden oldie I encountered, something fun I did back in the late nineties together with Viktor & Rolf, involving something called the Infinite Dress from TellSell, for Blvd. magazine. [Just don't tell V&R that I posted this!]

Test test test. So this is me, Mrs. Mo Veld, proudly modelling Viktor & Rolf couture for my crazy fashion photography friends Carmen Freudenthal & Elle Verhagen, and accidentally ending up on the cover of Amsterdam Index for which I wrote an extensive feature on the infamous Viktor & Rolf network. The things we do for friends!
