Fashion show studioRUIG

Last friday the groovy Dutch designer label studioRUIG hosted a fashion show at the Dutch Design Week for their 2012 summer collection entitled 'Ronja'. The entire collection is based on the novel "Ronja Robbersdaughter" by Astrid Lindgren, and showed a beautiful palette of natural woodsy colours combined with daring and sturdy accessories.

The real Ronja

Since Ronja is one of my favourite (childhood) books/movies, I was very excited to be invited to photograph the show.
The theme of the collection was cleverly portrayed by a choir of robbers loudmouthedly chanting robbers' songs while the models entered the catwalk.
The catwalk existed out of a HUGE wooden table, along which dining VIP guests and roaring robbers were seated together. The models strutted their stuff on the table, carefully maneuvering between the roasts, groping robbers' hands and wild boars and pheasants (all dead, by the way).

Backstage it was pretty funny to notice the difference between the robbers (getting into character by drinking, smoking and swearing) and the models (getting their hair and make-up done, figuring out some last minute costume changes, and drinking mainly water).
