❣️LIVE EVENT - IN DUTCH❣️
As a freelancer or DGA in a creative profession, your life is never the same. Your career requires tailor-made advice.
Unfortunately, creative entrepreneurs cannot rely on the regular services of banks, insurers, accountants, bookkeepers or administration offices. Why? Because you don’t fit the 9 to 5 box.
Sounds like you? And happen to be in Holland in October? Thomas St. John and M/V Works, in collaboration with The Model's Health Pledge, would like to invite you to a workshop on 💸FINANCIAL FITNESS💰. Very interesting for 'starters' and more advanced professionals.
Date: October 13, 2022
Walk-in: 19.00
Time: 19.30-21.30
Location: VanderValk Hotel Amstel
Register before 11 October.

Space is limited!😵🎬💨

Fashion month has another function besides showcasing gorgeous garments: it reflects what cultural values we prioritize. Sustainability is clearly on the list, with many designers participating in the trend—either through a diversity or environmental perspective.
Among them is Martan, a Dutch brand that opened Amsterdam fashion week with a bang. The brand is built on deadstock: fabrics that are leftovers without a clear purpose for a second life. Martan’s ready-to-wear collection is made entirely of linen and restaurant tablecloths from the Grand Hotel Amrâth—which was also the show location.
Deadstock is only one of the options in the long list of possibilities to partner fashion and ecology up.
We interviewed Martan’s @diekidiek a while ago and feel honored to have had a word with him. Read the interview to understand the brand and their mission better.
It’s up and running. YOU are probably running, whether it is from casting to fitting, or catwalk to steamer. FASHION WEEK CRAZE.
We asked around for some motivational words, because these are the days where you sometimes have to do more than you’d like, have to say yes to things you would normally decline, have to help out where you feel you’d rather step back.
Fashion week is a challenge for inner growth. Regardless of your success, it is a test of resilience, self-care and self-worth. You can book nothing and get out fresh, or book everything and get out harmed. It’s a mindset, and it requires practice and some help.
Gift yourself the following:
- Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that it means something that you are where you are. You made it to a select group of professionals; you are competing with the best. Don’t forget to look around and enjoy the special places you get to see, the people you get to talk to. It is an adventure. Stay present.
- Promise yourself to eat, sleep & drink enough. You need the energy.
- Feed the bond with colleagues. Yes, there is a race going on, but at the same time you all feel the same feelings. Use that to lift each other up. It can only do good to the overall atmosphere.
- Focus on your positive feelings, feel into your body with confidence before you walk. Don’t shrink, shoulders up. Smile and be kind like you are. Leave the door like you would leave any door. Changing your attitude will not get you to the top. Resilience and authenticity will.
GOOD LUCK!

The upcoming weeks are all about SUSTAINABILITY♻️. The word seems to be taking over the fashion industry, but what does it
even mean? And what can you do as a creative creating beautiful content for fast fashion clients, seasonal designers and couturiers?
Let’s start with a definition of sustainable practice. The ongoing interpretation stems from the UN, 1987. “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
The needs of the present include financial viability, functionality and our aesthetic needs to express identity and personality. The future generations need clean water and air, resilient ecosystems with balanced weather conditions, nourished soil, a wide diversity in species, breathing trees and living, colored coral reefs, to mention a few.
The current fashion system is steered towards current needs, but doesn’t work for the future.
