I am feeling it! If comfort always looked this good, I'd be dressed head to toe in streetwear-sportswear every day. As a matter of fact as I am sitting in front of my computer right now, I am wishing I was dressed in Dutch designer Eleonore De Ruuk's designs. I'd twist and stretch or just lounge and be lazy but surely feel on top of my fashion game. You judge for yourself and let me know what you think...

Eleonore de Ruuk
fall/winter 2009/10
Clothes made of wind and volcanic lava
Amsterdam based designer Eleonore de Ruuk was inspired for the fall/winter 2009/10 collection 'Lanzarique' by the geometrical abstract style of the Spanish artist César Manrique (video below) who became famous because of his landscape design and wind mobiles for the volcanic island Lanzarote in the mid 60s.
The designer describes the style of her creations as a mix of streetwear and highfashion. Hoods which are combined in original ways s well as hoods combined with a backpack, are the signature design of the label.
"The artist Manrique, whose work was the source of inspiration for this new winter collection, designed and realised a lot of wind mobiles on the island Lanzarote. The shapes of these constructions are translated into the print and shapes in the collection.
Black thread represents the black volcanic island Lanzarote. It is used in original ways in the women’s collection, going through tunnels of divided parts of dresses and vests, pockets of skirts and dresses, pouches in sweaters, skirts and dresses but also through hoods."

For the prints, Eleonore de Ruuk was inspired by the camel, grasshopper and fish; animals characteristically for the island Lanzarote and often used by Manrique in his artworks. The women’s and men’s collections both have the same prints.

The Spanish sculptor, painter, architect, landscaper, urbanist, and environmentalist César Manrique (1919 - 1992) is famous for the simplicity of his architecture, integrated in the natural landscape of Lanzarote.

June '08
Dopo essersi diplomata all’Amsterdam Fashion Institute, la designer olandese Eleonore De Ruuk fonda nel 2006 il brand che porta il suo stesso nome.
Il suo marchio di fabbrica è il cappuccio, che la De Ruuk usa in maniera quasi feticistica su praticamente tutti i suoi capi, che uniscono streetwear ed alta moda sperimentale.
E se la collezione P/E 2008 (che vedete sopra) è caratterizzata dai toni freddi, quella A/I 2008-09 al contario gioca tutta su colori autunnali, mentre il tema di fondo per l’inverno a venire è la fiaba, che tutti conosciamo, di Pierino e il lupo.
Tra pochi giorni potrete acquistare i capi di Eleonore De Ruuk, per ora impossibili da trovare in Italia, direttamente online, dal suo sito.

Eleonore de Ruuk in Londen
De Nederlandse Eleonore de Ruuk zal begin augustus de lente/zomercollectie 2009 van haar label Eleonore de Ruuk presenteren op Margin, Londen. De Ruuk (1981) studeerde in 2004 af aan het Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI) waarna ze stages liep bij Sophia Kokosalaki en Martine Sitbon. In 2006 begon zij haar eigen label.
De collecties van De Ruuk bestaan uit kleding en accessoires voor mannen en vrouwen met als rode draad hoodies, die zij combineert met grappige items als een stropdas of rugzak. Ook verwerkt zij hoodies in jumpsuits en jurken. In januari van dit jaar won de ontwerpster de Ispo Brendnew Style Award. Zij showde haar kleding onder andere op Bread & Butter in Barcelona en Modefabriek in Amsterdam. Kleding van De Ruuk is te koop bij onder andere Shopper in Rotterdam en Piroschka Pink in Berlijn. Begin juni opent zij ook een webshop.
Margin wordt gehouden op 3, 4 en 5 augustus en is een beurs die nieuwe ontwerpers van streetwear de mogelijkheid biedt een groter publiek te bereiken. Zo is de beurs een - betaalbaar – platform voor nieuw talent.

Todo estilista é incompreendido ou idolatrado, isso graças as suas idéias “milaborantes” que fazem dele um ser criativo. Fato é que além de propostas novas,o estilista deve sempre ter uma identidade própria. Pois a designer Eleonore de Ruuk, já escolheu a sua marca registrada: o capuz. Parece uma coisa comum, mas a estilista holandesa faz questão de adicionar o detalhe em tops, calças, cintos e até mesmo mochilas. Além disso, Eleonore tem um cuidado todo especial com as cores e texturas, que lhe garantiram o Prêmio ISPO BrandNews, na categoria estilo!

January 2008
Una mochila con capucha. Esta es la original apuesta que ofrece la diseñadora Eleonore de Ruuk para viajeros.
Por lo visto la mujer está especializada en capuchas y a cada diseño le mete una; ya sea una camiseta, un cinturón o incluso un bolso. Alguna fijación tendrá la mujer que espero que no esté relacionada con algún trauma por no utilizar otro tipo de capucha…
Este mochila con capucha integrada parece ideal por si os vais de monzones por Asia y ya no sabes que meterte en la cabeza con tanta lluvia cayendo encima.
