Every September, Amsterdam Fashion Week (AFW) transforms the city into a playground for creativity - where heritage meets innovation and style becomes storytelling. The event has become one of Europe’s most dynamic fashion moments, bringing together designers, artists, and visionaries who challenge convention and redefine modern aesthetics.
This year’s edition continued to push boundaries, with immersive runway shows, art installations, and intimate pop-ups spread across Amsterdam’s most inspiring locations. Among the highlights was The Creative Lab runway show, a platform that embodies the city’s spirit of experimentation and collaboration, a celebration of the new generation of creators shaping the future of fashion.
The Creative Lab: Where Art Meets Fashion Week
Founded as a space to represent creators in fashion, art, and design, The Creative Lab has quickly become a key player on the Amsterdam creative scene. Its mission is simple yet profound: to give emerging talents the visibility, tools, and freedom to express their vision beyond the limits of traditional presentation.
During Amsterdam Fashion Week, The Creative Lab curated an inspiring runway experience that blended style, movement, and narrative. Each collection told a story - not just through clothes, but through energy and emotion. For cappa, it was the perfect stage to showcase our latest collection.
Archivio Sartoriale: Italian Heritage with Playful Grace
Sharing the runway with Archivio Sartoriale brought a sense of creative harmony. Founded by a mother–daughter duo in Bergamo, Italy Archivio Sartoriale embodies refined loungewear crafted with care, rooted in family, and brimming with playful elegance. Their pieces radiate comfort and sophistication in equal measure, celebrating the beauty of the everyday through meticulous craftsmanship.

Under the lights of The Creative Lab runway, cappa presented its signature headwear, a collection that bridges art and functionality, femininity and emotion. Each piece reflected the brand’s philosophy: structured yet fluid, bold yet understated, a bold statement of individuality.
The runway came alive as cappa’s playful silhouettes accompanied Archivio Sartoriale’s flowing loungewear. Together, the looks formed a dialogue between structure and softness — a conversation between two worlds that share the same creative heartbeat.
Every model carried not just a look, but an attitude, one that captured cappa’s essence of modern confidence. The audience response was immediate and electric, reaffirming the brand’s growing place within Europe’s contemporary fashion landscape.
“Presenting our designs with The Creative Lab, alongside Archivio Sartoriale, was a special moment,” the cappa team shared. “It reminded us that fashion is about connection - between people, ideas, and the stories that inspire them.”
Beyond the Catwalk: The cappa Pop-Up
Alongside the runway presentation, cappa also participated in a successful pop-up show during Amsterdam Fashion Week. The space offered visitors an intimate look into the craftsmanship and creative process behind each design, allowing them to touch, explore, and connect with the brand’s world.
The atmosphere was buzzing: stylists, editors, and fashion enthusiasts stopped by to experience cappa firsthand. Conversations flowed easily, about design, sustainability, and the power of accessories to transform a look.
Celebrating community
For cappa, participating in The Creative Lab runway at Amsterdam Fashion Week was more than a showcase — it was a celebration of creativity, community, and craftsmanship. It marked a moment of growth, of stepping onto an international stage while staying true to the brand’s roots: playfulness, collaboration and community.
As cappa continues to evolve, this collaboration stands as a reminder of what fashion can be — not just beautiful, but meaningful.
