#  Dear SUPERIOR readers, We all love strong women - one good reason for us to devote our June issue to STRONG WOMEN. Again we have a lot of great photo-series. For #EDITORIAL we selected eight of them and you will see that all show various kinds of strong women - some in combination with men, some without. Additionally we present three videos. Two are related to fashion-editorials, the third one is the showreel of a great film-production (of course with strong women on the team) we met and whose #STORY we tell. For #TALK we had the pleasure to talk to four strong women. Maya van Malden is one artist from the international artists' collective Artists Anonymous and she presents their exceptional works. Yasha Young and Shaney Jo Darden are women from the art & fashion world and they told us about their commitment in fighting against breast cancer. Finally with Anita Tillmann from Premium Exhibitions we talked about what's new at this season's Premium Fashion Trade Show. Last but not least you might have noticed that we changed our categories in the magazine. The new nomenclature comes along with the re-launch of our SUPERIOR Homepage which will take place for Fashion Week Berlin. The new Homepage will be more structured and you will find some new features. Stay tuned and look forward to it... Tom, Marc and the SUPERIOR Team

OUR GREEN & ETHICAL SELECTION IN JUNE

DEEPMELLO — FASHION MEETS SCIENCE The brand deepmello is wholly dedicated to sustainable leather production. The young label is focusing on a natural and completely new tanning process in which the leather is treated naturally with rhubarb root. With the help of the powerful tanning substance within the rhubarb root, deepmello was able to replace the toxic materials used in conventional tanning with a natural extract made from rhubarb – with comparable results.

The fine leather products are created by combining high ecological standards with exceedingly ethical and social components. Deepmello places great value on combining its sustainable clothing with an attractive and modern design: At the heart of the collection are elegant jackets, skirts and clothes that cleverly combine tailoring and exciting details with a timeless look and luxurious leather. Deepmello has designed feminine blouses and trousers that fuse high-quality leather with soft silk satin and chiffon. Finely crafted shoes with cool wedge heels and great accessories, such as distinctive leather bags and belts, complete the collection. Visit deepmello at GREENshowroom

Her collections are developed with subtlety – the same subtlety she uses to exchange experiences with the traditional communities she often visits when searching for references, partnerships and inspiration. These communities, which produce various types of raw material used by Flavia, inspire her to reinvent the traditions of handmade work that have been forgotten throughout time. Visit FLÁVIA ARANHA at GREENshowroom

FLÁVIA ARANHA Poetry, lightness and contemporaneity summarize Flavia Aranha’s work. Born in Campinas, she went to São Paulo in 2002 to study Fashion Design in Santa Marcelina College, and then made the city her home. Timeless mouldings, pure cotton fabric and natural pigments such as leaves, tree bark and tea are part of every collection. The collections are complemented by accessories made of tilapia leather and blown glass – transparent drops turned into earrings or into pendants used with subtle silver cords.

ROYALBLUSH — ACCESSORIES WITH A CONSCIENCE The Swiss designer Jana Keller proves it is possible to design extra-ordinary leather accessories, and create something bigger, with her ecoluxury-label RoyalBLUSH. Inspired by the Swiss Alps, RoyalBLUSH accessories literally wake-up the wanderlust! Multifunctional handbags are as practical as an alpinist's, and jewellery reminding one of climbing gear. With those exclusive natural ‚Musthaves’, every ‚city-nomad’ is perfectly in gear. Each piece is made in consciousness about our planet and environment, using the best ecological materials, manufactured with local craftship. RoyalBLUSH’s chosen leather stands for a gentle vegetable tanning, rather than the use of aggressive chemicals. Vegetable tanning is an artisan tradition, handed down from father to son, for over 200 years, using both antique recipes and state-of-the-art technology. Finest Italian calf leather, tanned with bark and roots handcrafted and plaited in the EU and Switzerland, supporting the local craftsmen and through short ship-

ping distances producing less CO2. And as one of the few brands in Europe, RoyalBLUSH also uses Nanai salmon leather. It is a by-product of the food-industries, tanned at the highest level of ecological quality. The salmon skin stems from certified bio salmon farms from Ireland. Gifting a RoyalBLUSH accessory means doing something good – not only for your conscience! By doing so you support the environment, its inhabitants & resources and of course Keller’s farsighted vision of doing business in harmony. Visit RoyalBLUSH at GREENshowroom

KAETHE MAERZ — Founded in 2009, Kaethe Maerz is a clear, confident brand with touches of fantastic, futuristic, medieval and forgotten worlds. The Dßsseldorf designer label stands for progressive design, durability, convenience and discrete new color shades and combinations. The clothing is produced exclusively in Germany from natural, certified, high-quality materials. Each garment has an original name which is part of a story. However, it always leaves room for your own personal interpretation. With each wearing the material becomes softer and takes on a personal uniqueness for each garment.

The 2013 Spring/Summer Collection is clear, concrete and remains very feminine down to earth, confident and true to the Kaethe Maerz signature style. The brand's creed has always been customized, durable clothing. "Whoever wears my clothing emphasizes their attitude towards life, an expression of self-confidence and extravagance while remaining down to earth," says the designer.

#  Maya van Malden of Artists Anonymous talking to Tom from SUPERIOR Magazine on the group's activities. #  Maya, ARTISTS ANONYMOUS sounds mysterious. Who, or what is ARTISTS ANONYMOUS? Well, Artists Anonymous is an art-piece, created by some people who thought that the focus should be on the art itself, rather than on the authorship. Two of us didn't finish school, wasted their early youth, which was a loophole in the beginning, but nearly led to complete self destruction. Maybe this is why we were willing to sacrifice our identities, cause the ones that were there, were in dept anyway. Artists Anonymous was immediately successful, it seemed like a great idea, but as quick the shit hits the fan and one rues the day having this stupid idea... Then you go through all the ups and downs, within the tides, till we shipwrecked in Australia, where the first glimpse of a realisation started: We didn't choose artists anonymous, but AA was choosing us and that it is a responsibility, not a curse nor an honour. Now our home-bases are UK and Berlin, but to be honest we prefer UK.

#  One sort of works ARTISTS ANONYMOUS is famous for are your paintings plus afterimages. Can you explain what this exactly means, how the artistic process is? An "afterimage" is something that one is creating anyway all the time in ones eyes, it is the colour-inverted image of the image one is seeing, like the negative in analog-photography. When we are painting, we make sure that the afterimage of this painted work is visually as strong as the painting itself. One could say we paint two images at the same time - one with paint, one with light. We also have this special view on installation, sculpture, three-dimensional work. An installation is a negative sculpture, instead of walking around it, you walk inside, but it is still a sculpture. Or is it a 3 dimensional painting, if you paint the whole room negative and take a picture, an afterimage of it...

#  Your works look in a way dramatic, dark and mystical. Which themes are you favourites in your works? And why are these themes so important for you? Uh, I guess we think that conceptual art doesn't have to look boring or bad, and well, we are painters and we really like the stuff we are painting. I guess Rembrandt also liked to fancy dress and then paint himself as whatever he liked... Dramatic dark and mystical... yes, and then the figure wears a clown-nose... so it is clownesque, funny, even silly, but painted seriously beautiful, so it is dramatic dark and mystical again, happening through painting. If one paints a white wall, you have to painting it in a dramatic, dark and mystical way, increasing the shadow, darkening the structure, otherwise you still have a white canvas. The act of painting itself is kind a dramatic. Why did Richter not just show the photographs of the RAF people? To paint them is drama, stage, theatre, showing, making visible, perceivable; not just depict, reproduce. If a painter paints a still life, it is not about the cup or the flower, but about the essence of the flower, or the cup, the soul, to make the banal something special again. So next time you see a cup, it might be special again.

The painter needs to be sober, straight, distanced, he just takes the position in between. The soul, the ghost, the essence, that makes a painting outstanding, this etheric thing every painter tries to achieve. We form it, carve it out through the process of painting two images at the same time, and then we capture it, and make it visible with photography... so the afterimage is a reproduction of the soul of the painting; and by this its prove... #  What's the next big project ARTISTS ANONYMOUS is working on? As always we are working on a couple of shows, for example with a new gallery in Switzerland, which took over the space of old-school Zurich gallery Jamileh Weber. And our next big thing is the show in September in London at Lazarides, which will be something very special... through the rabbit hole... #  Thank you for the interview!

THE ECLUMES STUDIOS STORY #  Having started their production firm out of an attic in 2008, Damien Krisl and Joel Cartier`s ECLUMES STUDIOS quickly became one of the leading production companies for luxury brands and fashion in Switzerland. A goal made possible not only by motivation and will of the two young upstarts to succeed in this highly competitive business, but also through years of hard work of them and their associates that helped getting the company where it stands today. The origin of the name ECLUMES is a combination of the two French words éclair (lightning) and lumière (light), signifying the gathering of the ways light is used differently in photography and in filming. #  Damien and Joel set themselves apart by creating moving and still images that create whole new worlds, each of them telling a story in their own way. They mastered seeing the special in everyday tasks and present it in astonishing beauty that gets under the skin of the audience which has the pleasure of experiencing something new and unseen. Their goal is to provoke emotions with groundbreaking imagery by connecting fashion and film in exceptional ways. Damien and Joel are true visual aesthetes, their creativity originating out of the strive for perfection and the passion they have for their craft. They produce commercials and shootings all over the world, including Berlin, Paris and just recently, the United States.

»It’s the art of not only fulfilling the expectation a client has of our work, but to exceed it in every aspect. Their dreams are just dreams until we make them reality.«

»Combining the clients’ ideas and your own is a difficult task and always a tightrope walk. It is not easy to keep your creative freedom, which is why you’ll always have to fight for it. You need to realize your ideas, even if it means not making any money. Making art is and should always be more important than just enriching yourself.«

#  Another project worth mentioning is an underwater fashion clip they shot in 2010, but just recently finished post-production on. A project with barely any budget, made possible only by the passion of the people helping them during the extensive shoot. The clip got accepted into the La Jolla Fashion Film Festival in San Diego (USA, 26.07.-28.07.2012), the largest fashion film festival in the world. That results in them being able to show their work along films of large scale fashion directors such as Karl Lagerfeld and Bruno Aveillan, a huge honor for the young filmmakers. www.eclumes.com

STRONG WOMEN #  Shaney Jo Darden, Global CEO of the non-profit organization ›Keep A Breast‹ talking to Yasha Young.

#  Shaney, tell us a little about your beginnings and how Keep A Breast came to be? In 2000 my friend Mona’s mother had been recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and so was as a friend of ours — artist Margaret Killgallen. We were looking for something to do, some way to give back and we couldn’t find anything interesting. Everything just seemed boring. I wanted to do something that really resonated with me and my peers. Mona and I were putting together big art and fashion events at the time for Modart magazine, and we thought, “Why not an art show!?” So we asked all of our artist friends if they wanted to paint on breast casts and the idea of our breast casts was born. I never intended on starting a non-profit. It just happened very organically and with the help of my peers and supporters. I always say this job chose me. I was meant to be put on this earth to educate young people about breast cancer prevention. #  What do you think is the reason why KAB has gained worldwide recognition so quickly? I think because KAB is honest and has a very powerful message. I think the message is one that people are scared of but KAB presents it in a way that is engaging and empowering and grabs your attention. We have also been very

How important is it to have this type of support and why? Do you think it radically changes the way KAB works on people? There is no glory in doing something alone, and there is no fun in it either. Breast cancer is a global problem that effacts EVERYONE. Young people look up to the brands, musicians and athletes they love. Just like all of us regualar people, the people we look up to have been impacted by this diease. When you’re a teen and you find out your favortite musician has felt the same way you have because someone in their family had breast cancer too, it creates an unbreakable line of support and let’s them know they are not alone. Through our support programs like This is my story, we give people a voice to express how cancer has changed their life for better or for worse, the point is sharing and supporting eachother through this life.educate young people about breast cancer prevention.

THINGS YOU CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF! #  Tom from SUPERIOR Magazine talked to Anita Tillmann from PREMIUM Exhibitions about what's new at this season's PREMIUM International Fashion Trade Show. #  Anita, we all know PREMIUM as an international trade show for exclusive high-end fashion collections. What's new this season? This season's PREMIUM will be even more exclusive and international. Every season, we introduce retailers to the very latest and best collections and designers. The brand portfolio at PREMIUM is carefully curated, and new brands are integrated every season, with an increase of 23% for the spring/summer season 2013.

This season I am particularly looking forward to the new jewellery hall. In previous seasons, individual high-quality jewellery collections were on show in the accessories hall. However, demand from jewellery makers has increased to such an extent that we have decided to devote an entire hall to jewellery. That's the story of how our new "JEWELS" hall came into being, Consumers are becoming increasingly dis- PREMIUM's little treasure chest, where all sorts cerning when it comes to product and brand of trends and styles are represented. selection. Comparative shopping, online research and offers from vertical manufacturers all force retailers to be quicker and better informed these days. They are constantly under pressure JEWELLERY BY MARJANA VON BERLEPSCH to adapt their ranges to new tastes. PREMIUM is the ideal source of inspiration and information for top international retailers, media representatives and stylists etc. We introduce trade audiences to innovative trends from around the world.

In Hall 2 our finger really is on the pulse of the zeitgeist. An outfit is only complete when it is matched with the right accessories. There are hardly any stores that do not offer a large selection of accessories and jewellery, and hardly any designers that do not offer this as part of their collection. PREMIUM is the only fair with such a wide range of exclusive jewellery labels together with fashion. As far as the consumer is concerned, Berlin is currently evolving into an insiders secret for jewellery. There is room for creativity here and up-and-coming designers have good opportunities to make a name for themselves.
