Time for a makeover...

As you might know, i've recently graduated and even though i started this blog to document the process of my graduation project I have no intention to shut it down. Unlike my batch mates I actually enjoy blogging. Buttt I do feel how ever that some changes need to be made, there are so many things that I would like to share with you which are not necessarily in the field of sustainable fashion (even though that is going to definitely be something that I will focus on) I'm going to be making some changes in the layout and pages of the blog over the next couple of days and hopefully after that share some interesting things with you. Be it music, food, design or interesting articles. Lets see what i can make of it!



See you on the other side ;)

Kate Spade New York

Clothes and accessories by New York based designer Kate Spade aren't my style, but i absolutely love the way she puts her collections accross. The use of bright colours...Wow!

Check out their website and their weekly blog about colour, it's quite inspiring, if anything the website will just brighten up your day a little. They have made some videos about living colourfully that are certain to put a smile on your face.

Seven henrietta street is another video made by Kinga Burza for Kate Spade. Happiness :)

Gare Du Nord

So i'm in the mood to share some nice music with you today..and promoting the dutch music scene at the same time.
Gare du Nord is a dutch- belgian duo that kicked off in the spring of 2001 when producers Doc and Inca were asked by a French promoter to deliver a soundtrack for a Fashion & Lifestyle Event in Brussels called Excellence. Instead of going just for moody sounds and loungy atmospheres the twosome decided to go beyond synths and beats and they composed a song cycle to express their contemporary interpretation of traditional jazz and blues. The soundtrack for the event became the first Gare du Nord album.

After this they have released quite a few albums which have all been quite successful.
My favourite track by Gare Du Nord is Dish of the day from the album Love for Lunch.

Room Eleven

I first came across room eleven a few years ago at Oerol ( a theatre and music festival that happens every summer at the island of Terschelling in the Netherlands) and how do i put it? it was a love affair that still lives on...

Room Eleven is a dutch band that brought out their first album six white russians and a pink pussy cat in 2006. Their music can be best described as a catchy mixture of jazz, pop, funk, blues and a touch of folk. Gotta love it!

One of my favourites is Lalalalove from their second album Mmm..Gumbo? it's got a very nice video to go along with it as well!

Unfortunately the members of room eleven have decided to go their own ways. But Janne Schra the lead singer has continued under the name Schradinova and has also come up with some pretty fabulous tracks. Check her out!

Kiboots

Kiboots is a dutch brand set up in 2010. They have beautiful colourful boots made with vintage leather and old kilim rugs. Every boot is handmade, fairly produced and there are no chemicals used. I would LOVE to own a pair of these!!

Guy Aroch

Hello everyone,

It's been a while since i posted something, and lots has happened since then: I've graduated, exhibited my work and travelled across indonesia for a month. Life changing experiences all of them!

I thought it was about time I post something again since I've been coming across so many lovely things after I got back. From now on this blog is going to be more of a space to share my findings, may it be fashion, photography, music or anything else that i find interesting.

I'm going to start with a few photographs by Guy Aroch for the free people january catalog. They are absolutely stunning!
