Some essentials to create the cat eye look



These products are my favorites when I want to create a classic cat eye look. It is a look you can wear casually, but if you make it more dramatic you can wear it at night too. To create this look it is essential to use only pink tones of lipstick and blush.

Chanel - Powder blush - no. 72 rose initiale
Maybeline - Eyestudio eyeliner - blackest black
Chanel - Rouge Coco Shine - no. 52 Fetiche

Sister Act the Musical





On a cold winter evening you normally do not feel like going out of your comfortable home. However, Sister Act the Musical is definitely worth your time and money. Last night I went to the theater to witness this spectacle and loved every minute of it. Even though it was in Dutch, the acting & singing moved every single person in the audience. That is why we were all dancing and singing along at the end. Do you follow Hm? 


Unite with your 'sisters' and watch this musical production!

Gaultier’s sailor goes to India










For this spring and summer Jean Paul Gaultier’s sailor travelled to India with a stop in Scotland. We can find bold colors such as red and yellow, many different patterns combined with original marine elements and daring kilts turned into bermuda shorts. How are you rocking the boat this spring and summer?

 In his s/s 2013 collection Jean Paul Gaultier revisited his greatest hits. The collection was an ode to all the pop stars of the 80’s who have influenced fashion" – and, more importantly, Gaultier's fashion. A few on the list of inspiration were Madonna, Grace Jones and Boy George. What do you think of the 80’s inspired collection of Jean Paul Gaultier?

The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk









Last weekend Jean Paul Gaultier was in Rotterdam to open his exhibition in the Kunsthal, named: ‘The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk’. CRUSH had the chance to be present at his press conference and the opening of his pop-up store in the Bijenkorf. His exposition contains singing mermaids, punk mannequins, corsets, cone bras and even a red light district to give the exposition a Dutch twist. Furthermore, at his press conference he expressed his connection to the city of Rotterdam, which has many cultures and that is how he defines fashion. Jean Paul Gaultier’s view on fashion is one of a kind; he is not only extravagant in his designs, his choice of unconventional models caused shocking reactions in the fashion industry as well. All in all we can say that we surely have a crush on his exposition, what do you think of it?
