Let’s rock the boat together!

While I love traveling solo or with a lover, nothing beats a girls’ getaway with my best (travel) buddy. As writer Anaïs Nin said so beautifully: “Each friend represents a world in us, and it is only by meeting each other that a new world is born.” What better way to enrich and expand that world than by exploring the globe together? From dancing on the tables at a London nightclub to a midnight swim in the Mediterranean Sea; going on a BFF trip is my favorite way to reboot while bonding with my bestie. The shared experience always brings us closer together, even if one of us is into temple hopping on Bali and the other into island hopping in Greece. With this season’s spectacular swimwear collection, I celebrate the crazy, beautiful adventure of female friendships. Reflecting the spontaneous fun of globetrotting girl trips, these versatile pieces have you ready for action whether you want to go swimming, jogging, lounging or dancing the night away. And whether you’re a G-string or high waist kinda girl, thanks to the many variations per look, you can rock your own, unique style while still matching with your bestie. Wear these designs and dance around the world together in style. The adventure has only just begun!

In January, I presented my newest FW20 collection during a show full of dance and entertainment in Rotterdam. All my work as a feminist designer is inspired by muses, powerful female icons from past and present. And for FW20, my muse will be crime writer Agatha Christie. A few months from now, you will get to discover the collections, and see how they tell stories like Agatha’s thrilling books do..

Dr. Bram Bakker is a psychiatrist, a writer, a runner and a provocateur. With his many bestselling books and columns – and yes, even his own theatre show – he urges us to think outside the box when it comes to our mental health. Not crazy about popping pills? Bram shared some interesting alternatives with me, from throwing out our phones to running ‘till we puke’.

General practitioner Tamara de Weijer believes that we would feel a lot better if we hit the produce stand before we visited the pharmacy. “On a massive scale, we have been putting the wrong kind of fuel in our bodies.”
