Back on the Runway...

For the first time in 2.5 years, Ashlynn was back on the runway in Amsterdam. In an unusual twist, she was the only professional model out of around 80 participants in the Lichting show, which featured 14 of the best design academy graduates around the country.

Designer Manou van den Berg (in the black trousers) had worked with Ashlynn for one of her school projects back in 2017 and was happy that Ashlynn was available to walk in her show.

The setting for the show was quite incredible: the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), built in 1408. 

While tickets weren’t available for the public, we were thrilled that the show was live streamed and not only could we watch it, but lots of our friends and family were able to watch it as well.

It was quite an entertaining show since some of the clothes were really wild. Manou’s clothes were the most mainstream of all the designers with Ashlynn’s outfit the best of the bunch and one of the best of the show (of course, I’m not partial).

Not being surrounded by other models, but rather friends of the designers made for a very different experience and Ashlynn said it was one of her favorite shows she’d ever done.
