The Dancewear Adventure: Striktly danceable fashion Contest.

Back to blog

In the sequel to blog: We want sexy and danceable clothing, I take you into the adventure of this search for real Dancewear. Clothing in which you stay sexy after hours of dancing.

After personally scouring boutiques for years and keeping my summer collection in the front in the winter, I always got pretty far. And honestly, it’s not annoying to shop. But the moment you need something … you know it.

And since our hobby is really a sport, I think it’s time for sportswear. But then in the looks of nightwear.

The mystery designer is Striktly herself!

Because we have been looking for danceable fashion for some time, we were already proud to present a few pieces of clothing. Keanz Recab wears the men’s waistcoat and together with the mystery designer and model Ronald he wears a great, quick-drying blouse. This blouse made of fabric with sporting properties that makes it dry quickly, has an antibacterial finish and is sexy!

The waistcoat, blouse and the super handy hip bag from model Kim can be ordered here 🙂

And now the winner

Who can call themselves the first-ever Striktly Danceable Fashion Designer and takes home the prize of no less than 1,000? The jury’s points are counted and the audience has the casting vote.
