RETROSPECT STAGE OUTFITS

by 26.1.13

This is Ingeborg's 'Speldenkussentje'
Hi Sweets,

A couple of days ago, me and Coen went to visit Ingeborg Steenhorst to talk about our upcoming stage outfits for RETROSPECT. This is one of the parts that I enjoy the most when it comes to preparing for a big happening. Ingeborg already styled us for our 'Requiem for the Indifferent' world tour, and is now working on our brand new wardrobe as we speak!

We chose our fabrics, cuts and multi purpose outfits. I was trying to let her know by my drawings what I had in mind. Luckily she understood my scribbles and we came to some really interesting designs.

In a couple of weeks I will visit her again to have the first fittings. I can't wait to see these new designs come to life. All the little pieces of RETROSPECT are falling into place. This will be EPIC!

  5. I am very happy with these preparations, should be very good and fun! And Simone, I have a small doubt regarding your hair, you'll keep the red darker than it is now, or will leave it clearer?

    With Love,

    Hebert.

  7. well these are exciting times! I've always loved Simones stage outfits. Simone has a really funky jacket (leather I think)that has ruffle edges that I love, so damm cool. Simone wore it on stage when I saw EPICA & I've seen her wearing it in a blog post from December. Wish I could come to retrospect. Hopefully a dvd will be made? I would love to know how you guys choose a set list it must be hard.

  17. I bet the outfits will turn out amazing! Ingeborg did such a marvelous job in the RFTI outifts and also styling other metal stars such as Floor. I'm curious to see what you guys will come up with. I would love to see you with one of those flower head pieces she styles, possibly a black one. But I think it could get in the way of your headbaging, so maybe not such a smart choice (still, maybe you could take some pictures with one of them sometime, hm? ;) )
    Kisses and love from Brasil!

    Why did you close your Youtube account Simone?

    1. Because of fools harassing her online. That was quite a while back, I hope Simone is over it now. I think at the time she was hurt greatly.
      There is a guy I follow on twitter who is a talented guitarist, he has a youtube channel where he has re-uploaded some of Simone's old videos. I hope he doesn't get in trouble for re-uploading these. I'm assuming by re-uploading Simone's deleted videos he is breaking Simone's copyright, but he done it with good intentions he's not making a profit from it.

      He uploaded this one yesterday it was the X-mas video that Simone & Oliver done together.
