His collection is based on various style icons who continue to fascinate. The simplicity of Grace, Jackie and Audrey. The drama of Marlene, Greta and Morticia. During personal fittings Brian Enrico models each garment on the individual client’s body. To him the female body shape is no taboo. On the contrary, he accentuates shoulders, breasts, waits and hips. He regards the eclectic fashion confusion of girls in the street as a thing of the past. With his Body Couture Brian Enrico amalgates the past, present and future into his own, distinct and recognizable silhouette. His muses and models are headstrong women of all generations. What will they wear on their first intergalactic journey? His maxim: Voyage Voyage. His code: Black to Basic. Welcome on board of his first night flight to Venus. Brian Enrico Body Couture wishes you a fantastic journey.Content page: Underground Fashion Talent Brian Enrico is the best The Netherlands is offering in fashion. Article: Underground Fashion Talent. Brian Enrico is autodidact. He didn’t attend any design nor fashion school – and yet, he is the best The Netherlands is offering in fashion for a long time. Since a few years, The Netherlands gained a name as trend blacksmith when it comes to underground fashion. The flair of the worldly and open metropolis Amsterdam seems to give young designers wings. One of these ambitious young designers, maybe even the most talented one of this young caste, is Brian Enrico. This self-made designer introduced his first Body Couture in January 2007. Brian Enrico outstrips a lot of his young colleagues. His fashion is not inspired by the current common street style. The muses for his urban fashion are the divas of the past: Jackie Onassis, Greta Garbo, Grace Jones and Audrey Hepburn. ‘Black is beautiful’ echoes through the whole collection of the Dutchman. Brian Enrico plays with the epochs and mixes fashion styles against all odds. On top of this, his fashion is one thing for sure: very female. The extra-large shoulder pats are clear references to the 1980s. Nevertheless, his line looks very modern, even futuristic. Peter Thalmann, In Sud Tirol magazine, Italy, June 2007.

Artikel: Underground Ground Fashion Talent. Brian Enrico ist Autodidakt. Er hat weder eine Design- noch eine Modeschule besucht – und doch ist er das Beste, was die Niederlande in Sachen Mode seit langem zu bieten haben. Seit einigen Jahren hat sich die Niederlande als Trendschmiede in Sachen „Underground Fashion“ einen Namen gemacht. Das Flair der weltoffenen Metropole Amsterdam scheint die jungen Designer zu beflügeln. Einer dieser aufstrebenden Jungdesigner, vielleicht sogar der talentierteste dieser jungen Kaste, ist Brian Enrico. Der Selfmade-Designer hat im Jänner 2007 seine erste Body Couture vorgestellt. Brian Enrico hebt sich von vielen seiner jungen Kollegen ab. Seine Mode ist nicht vom derzeit gängigen Street-Style inspiriert. Die Musen für seine urbane Mode sind die Divas der Vergangenheit: Jackie Onassis, Greta Garbo, Grace Jones und Audrey Hepburn. ‚Black is Beautiful’ zieht sich durch die gesamte Kollektion des Holländers. Brian Enrico spielt mit den Epochen und mixt Modestile gegen jede Konvention. Seine Mode ist dabei aber vor allem eines: sehr weiblich. Die übergroßen Schulterpolster sind eine klare Reminiszenz an die 80er Jahre. Seine Linie wirkt dabei aber sehr modern, geradezu futuristisch. Peter Thalmann, In Sud Tirol magazine, Italien, Juni 2007.“The Lancôme competition signalled the official start of the Amsterdam International Fashion Week, but the unofficial programme was launched on Friday night with the UFTA (Underground Fashion Talent Amsterdam) show. Although most of the fashion shown at this event did not rise above the level of “fun clothing for a night out”, the couture shown by autodidact Brian Enrico was a cut above the rest. Divas of all ages modelled black dresses and cat suits with extremely broad shoulders. Hysterically, maybe, but nevertheless a clear statement arriving at just the right time; the extreme shapes of the 1980s are once again in demand.” Source: National newspaper ‘Volkskrant’, Netherlands, Milou van Rossum, 26 January 2007.

Brian Enrico Body Couture Premiere Fashion Show

Add to My Profile | More Videos"De wedstrijd van Lancôme vormde het officiële begin van de Amsterdam International Fashion week, maar het officieuze programma was vrijdagavond al begonnen met de show van UFTA (Underground Fashion Talent Amsterdam) op het KNSM-eiland. De kleren die op het evenement werden getoond, bleven meestal hangen op het niveau ‘leuk voor in de disco’, maar die van autodidact Brian Enrico stegen daar bovenuit. Diva’s van alle leeftijden toonden zwarte jurken en broekpakken met extreem brede schouders. Hysterisch, maar wel een duidelijk statement, en een dat op het goede moment komt; de extreme vormentaal van de jaren tachtig staat weer erg in de belangstelling." Volkskrant, Milou van Rossum, 26 januari 2007"A new designer emerges with a fresh take on iconic fashion. Brian Enrico celebrates strong women through his design perspective.At the Lancôme competition the official start of the Amsterdam International Fashion Week was underway but perhaps the biggest surprise of the night took place at the unofficial program on Friday night with the UFTA (Underground Fashion Talent Amsterdam) show. While most of the fashion shown at this event did not rise above the level of "fun clothing for a night out", the couture shown by autodidact Brian Enrico was a cut above the rest. Enrico’s collection is based on various female style icons who continue to fascinate: The simplicity of Grace, Jackie and Audrey; the drama of Marlene, Greta and Morticia. While the collection has the grace and elegance of the iconique movie stars of the past, watching the collections prance by on the backs of divas, you cannot help but be hark-back to the 1980’s and the broad shoulders of its working women. Enrico’s collection is in no way tried and tired, however. His approach to the bygone eras is a meld of the past, present, and future which is distinctly his own. Enrico does not believe in the taboo surrounding the female body. During personal fittings Enrico models each garment on the individual client to ensure the best accentuation of each woman’s body shape. His approach to design proves his admiration for the female form emphasizing the shoulders, breast, waist, and hips. In fact his muses and models are headstrong women of all generations. His dress code: Black to Basic. Welcome on board of his first night flight to Venus. Brian Enrico Body Couture wishes you a fantastic journey!
