ditor’s Issue

I do love changes. I guess that I can´t hide it when I have been living in 2 countries in less than 9 months. I have been inspired by the Swedish culture, by their smart way of being and their support to the different and the new; by the small hidden places that I have met in Netherlands thanks to my “duchties”, who inspire me every day. I have been living days of 72 hours and days of 5 hours, but always believing on what I am doing and working to conceive fashion industry as a conjunction of art, culture and lifestyle. After our ISSUE#0 we would like to thank all the support and the effort to everyone getting on board in this project. Now in this new issue, we have been spelled as the sailors by the mermaids; we have been seduced by new sounds and voices. We have travelled around with delicious fragrances and got inspired from the intelligent ironic art from Linda Spåman. We have been part of many events as the Graduation Mode Show Kabk, meeting there new talents as Miriam de Waard, a fashion designer that we are sure that will rock the fashion world. We have been invited to New York Fashion Week, one of the biggest fashion event in the world. We have been dreaming on being supported by amazing fashion photographers, as Todd Anthony Taylor. And here it is. We can´t stop dreaming, and we will continue doing it. Pure talent is what we have in this ISSUE#1. Open your five senses and feel it.

WE LOVE THE ISSUE MAGAZINE

In Paris he studied 4 months in ‘Mod’Art International’, where he’d learn the french view of fashion, much more sophisticated and focused on the image and presentation than the spanish one. Right after finishing his studies in Mod’Art , he started an stage at the atelier of Christophe Josse, at that time guest creator at Paris Couture Fashion Week. Hand by hand with the première d’Atelier, he learnt not only everything about the “savoir faire” of the french Haute Couture, but also his own way around the insights of the Parisian couture craftsmanship, a wisdom he would lately use for his own label. After some collections as an stagiaire at Josse’s, while being on holidays in Milan for the fashion week, he received a called : Thierry Mugler was re-launching under the creative direction of Nicola Formichetti and they wanted him to join the atelier while preparing the couture collection. From the frustration of not being

able to answer that call, was born the aim to begin his own journey, to create his own Haute Couture label, and he decided he would do whatever was necessary to present it that same July. JAUREGUI was born. From February to July he dedicated his time exclusively to create what would be his first collection, but not only, also to define the JAUREGUI ‘allure’, its essence, its soul. An essence that is born from his own roots, and that finds its sense and inspiration in the basque spirit : intense, but restrained; a quiet yet brutal beauty, that is amazingly well reflected on his debut collection. The idea of it was born, as he says, while listening to music from his home region. Then, the music started to take form while playing with the inspiration from the Cathedral of Aránzazu, a magnificent piece of Architecture, built on the 50s, that gathered on its creation some of the greatest basque and spanish artist of the

era; such as Chillida, Oteiza or Basterretxea. The mixed influence of this painters and their style, together with the french ‘savoir faire’ learnt by his training in Christophe Josse and his personal view of the female beauty, gave birth to a brilliant collection in bold colors (white, black, red, rust) , rich in shapes, contrast and details, and finished with the quality of a true couturier. The talented way on which leather, organza, mousseline or wool are combined on the garments creates a bold yet balanced contrast that captivates the eye of the observer. The looks are completed with delicate flower tiaras that creates an amazingly romantic ensemble. The collection was presented, during the Couture Fashion Week in Paris, at the “Convergences” gallery, at the parisian district of Le Marais. Many creator as Xabier (like Elie Saab himself) had started presenting his collections in “off” during the fashion week, hoping to, with time and a bit of luck, to be admitted by the “Chambre syndi

cale de la Haute Couture” to present as guests. There is no doubt it is a very selective group of designers, but Xabier truly believe there is an actual market for it, only under different standards. The “new” Haute Couture is not that much about the show, as the big firms like Chanel or Dior present, it is more about that public that wants to wear on their daily life top quality, hand-sewn garments that are real pieces of Art. This is what the younger Haute Couture creators are preaching, and maybe what the maison Dior itself has understood, if we think about Raf Simon’s approach to the firm. It’s a new generation of creators that want to take Couture to the next level; that want, like Xabier, to look back to their roots to give wings to their creations, because more than often, and specially when it comes to fashion, the key for the future is to be found in the past.

n the road again! This time we’ve been on the interview with Adela and Xabier at ‘Udaberri’ restaurant in Madrid. ‘Tchin tchin & yumi yumi!’

Hat off for Patrik Selling – a milliner and hat maker on the go Swedish summer. The rain is pouring down. As I walk into the court where the entrance to the Tailor’s House is found, I enter another world. Flowers fill the courtyard and the word picturesque comes to mind. One flight of stairs up Patrik Selling greets me. We are standing in the middle of the studios where the winds have sent away the scent of fabric out through the open doors and windows. In the Tailor’s House Patrik is the only practicing milliner and hat maker. This is the place where Patrik’s creations come to life. Many hats have taken shape in his studio. Having seen his “outside the box” hats made out of teak, leather, fabric, and feathers being ever so playful, elegant and cool, I get somewhat surprised when he tells me that his preferred material is wool. “Because then we are talking hats for men, and I can wear them. I make hats that I really like and want to wear myself.” When it comes to the ladies, he has customers who preferably know what they want as they ask him to make hats for them.” If I don’t make a hat for a specific customer I make a picture in my mind of a kind of muse. The hat is then made for this imagined muse. In any case, the women carrying my hats are strong individuals. Anyone wearing a hat usually is“, Patrik says with a smile. Patrik draws inspiration from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. “I can glance at other milliners but it won’t do any good as we all look back in time for inspiration. “ He points

out how fast the cycles of fashion are spinning to day. The philosophy of the Tailor’s House is to make lasting pieces that will stay fashionable for long in high quality materials. Only ecological materials are used where such can be found. ”Feathers and leather are tricky; there is still room for improvement among the producers”. Patrik is born in a small factory town. He knew from a young age that he wanted to be artistic in some sense. It wasn’t always easy, he describes himself as an outsider, but he knew from his upbringing that nothing was for free and that you had to be prepared to work hard. Life bid him opportunities. There was the supportive teacher, the schools where he could study creative arts and supportive parents, despite the fact that they couldn’t comprehend what their ambitious son was up to. And then one day Patrik discovered his love of hat making. His talent has been recognized by large brand names. He has made crazy hats for Nudie Jeans and hats of hair for L’Oréal. This past spring Patrik made his first international appearance as he showed his hats at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Malta. I ask him about his dreams. Without thinking twice he says “To not have to worry about being able to pay the bills, and then of course to make it on the international scene.”How about his hats being spotted at the Ascot races or at a royal wedding? As we see it, those dreams should not be so hard to fulfill.

TI: WHAT IS INSPIRING YOUR COLLECTIONS? I love getting my inspiration from other art forms like photography, illustration and fine arts. The most images who intrigue me have a raw esthetic. But the most importing thing in the beginning of creating my collection is making my own collages and drawings. I adore working in my black book and think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to give everything you make your own twist , so also the images I find. Later in the collection I used these collages, photographs and drawings to create my own mysterious prints that comply with the purpose to draw you into the silhouette. TI:WHAT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES HAVE YOU USE TO BRING IT UP? The concept of my last collection has developed into tensions between color gradients and layers of fragile as well as heavier fabrics. I pleated fabric by hand and created experimental forms such as round shoulder parts. Metallic materials as copper thread twisted around leather straps and my own textile made out of melted sequins where there to complement the unexpected.

The contrast between shiny and mat materials, hard fabric with a raw feeling against more fluent fragile ones. TI: DO YOU NORMALLY WEAR YOUR CLOTHES? No not really, in the collections I made this far I sometimes prefer visualizing an atmosphere more then designing clothes that could be worn every day. In my last collection I even saw some of my pieces more like objects then clothes. TI: WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE PIECE OF YOUR LAST COLLECTION? Even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the piece I saw the most because it was on the poster for the fashion show I still like the color combination and gradients I used in the top with the harmonica pleats. This piece was an important step in the beginning of my collection as well, because I made this piece like a collage, starting with a tiny piece of pleated fabric painted by hand , and piece by piece I created the form of the pleats with the different color gradients. This way of working I repeated in the other silhouettes as well.

TI: HOW WAS YOUR AMSTERDAM FASHION WEEK SS13 SHOW EXPERIENCE? It was insane and sometimes almost even felt like an illusion. Before the Lichting show we had a few days with the other contestants where we had to present our work to the press and the judges of Lichting 2012. On these days I already learned so much about different qualities of the designers. All these years you showed your work to your teachers and now suddenly you had to explain your vision to people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know you, really scary but at the same point refreshing. And at the show the ambience was so good, and because of two of my best friends who helped me backstage I really had the time to enjoy the moment. The rush and the goosebumps when I stood backstage in front of the TV screen watching the girls walking down the runway in my collection. I will never forget this moment. TI:WHAT KIND OF WOMAN ARE YOUR CLOTHES MADE FOR? Raw and sensual woman, Not afraid to face their own fears, neuroses and deepest dreams, they are brave

enough to create a world where they feel safe. TI: BESIDE YOURSELF, WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE DESIGNER? Ann demeulemeester because her way of draping, the raw materials and experimental fabrics in her collections. Every time I love the slightly dark esthetic she creates when the models walk down the runway. Your favorite city: Berlin Color that identify you: Dark blue Favorite song in 2012: Alt-j â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Something good Top of your wish list: Never losing my creativity.

We met the brand and the team ‘Ananda Pascual’ some months ago, in an event called ‘Evening fashion network’ in Madrid, Spain. That initiative is taken by Emanuel Toumar from Paris. We get in touch, after some ‘exhibition’ of their work and that’s what we decided to show us: Ananda Pascual is a fashion industry with a singularity in the way to produce: all garments are totally made by fashion workshops that offer a career opportunity to women at risk of exclusion and social marginality. Our business is based in fair trade and environment respect. The brand spirit is urban, featured by cold industrial colors mix with special ones. Western urban is matched with the exoticism and vibration from the places where garments are made (India, Cambodia, Peru). Ananda Pascual wants to join the gap between trendy and fair. Why did you decide to set up a fashion sustainable brand? Because we want to keep on creating fashion, we want to keep on wearing, although I wish that everyone dares to be naked, removing their problems therefore; but as this is impossible, I will wear, without the planet falls on me, being able to say to my children that I did something for them and for their children and because I can´t stand that a lot of people suffer and even die so that I can wear a beautiful dress, trendy shoes or a shiny necklace.

We want to adapt the fashion cycle, to human rhythms from the point of view of the designer, manufacturer and consumer. We want to give back to fashion its principal aim that is to serve to the human. This is called Slowfashion. We want to fight against FastFashion, understanding this as a production and design system based on commercializing extremely fast the last fashion trends. Consumers can easily renew their closets frequently without spending much money within this system. Nevertheless, there are consequences: Consumers: they are forced to acquire a big range of garments, to be updated, to chose every morning that they want to wear… fast fashion make us slaves in order to wash up, iron, fold, keep save and change every season our clothes. The way how some brands produce implies serious abuses. They have to cut down costs: the legal situation of some countries accompanied by market pressures, set up a difficult situation for workers. What is the special touch in Ananda Pascual´s garments? We can affirm that the singularity of our garments is obtained by the combination of three elements: Design, Fabrics and confection model. I am explaining the meaning of all of them: CONFECTION MODEL Our company philosophy is based on confectioning at our own fashion workshops the 100% of the garments,

Baby Alpaca Jumper (On store from 18/09) (Fabric: Alpaca Baby natural color without dying; Confection: CMA, 100% manufactured)

helping therefore to improve people´s social environment. At the moment we have three fashion workshops. AFESIP CAMBODIA is an NGO that works with women that are or have been sexually abused. Their aims are to protect victims and give them integral assistance. Cooperative “COORDINADORA DE MUJERES AYMARAS” (CMA). They work with women at risk of exclusion (rural areas from Peru) and their families, giving to them training as well as defending their rights and promoting women who are capable to develop new and efficient alternatives to go ahead. CREATIVE HANDICRAFTS is a social project whose aim is provide mental and economic assistance to women who live in slums in Mumbai FABRICS Patterns from our fabrics are made by a traditional and millenary craft technique that is known as Woodblock Print or Handblock Print. This process is based on a stamp made of small wooden blocks in order to stamp fabrics. This process gets brilliant details from craft results, providing a unique garment. On the one hand, we work with recycled materials too like the Ecoalf, recycled of plastic bottles and fishermen nets. This fabric is obtained through a complex process that features the fabric with unique characteristics. This fabric is recycled and recyclable 100%. On the other hand, we work with natural fabrics like Baby Alpaca, product with a big quality whose confection is manufactured in Peru. The Ikat is a hand wovenfabric that comes from Andhra Pradesh, India. design It comes with the influence of sports world in order to provide a better comfort to garments. Volumes and details express dynamism and activity. That expression also influence to our products. Our collections are framed in an urban style. We maximize that urban strength with the magic of colors and motives that come from the countries where we work in. The exoticism is part of our influences. The combination of these three elements have made ANANDA PASCUAL unique How does Ananda Pascual contribute to the planet sustainability? The first issue concern us is to care about people who work in the collections lifecycle. Secondly, we try to extend garments lifecycle cutting of rotation index. Fashion seasons are designed by

two durability criteria: the first one is that garments from different collections can be matched with each other, giving them a big versatility. The second one shows that designs are based in current trends, avoiding ephemeral trends, obtaining a longer durability. Thirdly, we are working in a process that consists of gathering and exchanging former garments for clothes from new collections. The garments gathered might have many final destinies, all of them pursuing to reintroduce them again into fashion cycle. How can you make compatible sustainability and trend seeming these concepts so antagonistic? It is not complicated in theory, due to sustainability entails to produce with principles that agree with fashion. Nevertheless, it seems complicated because the lack of fashion workshops, taking into account that they don´t have a high level of specialization. That is why we make designs always thinking in the possibilities that both we and our contributors have. However, these limitations don´t affect to designs. If you check out our collections you can see the creativeness of our products; therefore, I think is possible to make compatible sustainability and design although is not always easy. What are the 2 questions that usually people ask for? That is a good question. The most that people ask for is if our production systems generate an overrun and therefore a handicap to commercialize our products. We currently don´t have any overrun. Of course we are more expensive than FastFashion, we guarantee rights to the whole producing chain, but we are more expensive too than European or developed countries producers, given that they work under our own conditions. The second one it is, why don´t you produce in Spain? We produce abroad because they ask for years ago. It was then when we knew that social panorama, deciding get involved in approaching a viable solution to create there quality and trendy fashion. Moreover, if we relocate our workshops probably Cambodia women might be vulnerable to be sexual exploited again. In conclusion, we believe that our modest contribution is more helpful in these countries.

During this extraordinary experience, involving audience participation, we will get a rare and unique view of the artist. The New York-based sound art collective Soundwalk offers guided walks that mark the halfway point between Baudelarian wanderings and cinematographic experiences, and allow the listener to discover a city in a uniquely poetic way. Philippe Starck and Soundwalk Collective invite you to a collective adventure in the form of a search for the sound that we lack. Is it a voice, a note, a noise? This resonant exploration is based on a playful dialogue between Philippe Starck, Soundwalk Collective, and the public. Through altered reality, the manipulation of sound, and musical interpretations, this show will guide us together to the discovery of a unique sound: the sound of Us. In the performance, Philippe Starck will share with us his passion for sound, while members of Soundwalk, accompanied by instrumentalists and sound technicians, will respond to Starck using sounds captured around the world over the course of the last decade. A performance show conceived for the Exit Festival.

Split-second infatuation for an eccentric dreamer

We are in love with Niels!! haha We met him last time on an exhibition “No me pongas los cuernos” that we did in Madrid (SP) where he had to prepare 4 swedish models to a performance-catwalk during the opening. He made an excelent job, that’s because he has an impronunciable talent! That show has been inverted by a curious battalion of Scandinavian models, who stand waiting in a corner. They suddenly begin to invade the space and mingle with the audience and then they return to their corner and start again and again...People was just really attracted and hypnotized by the impressive designs!

NIELS PEERAER, Born in Antwerp 1989 and based in Paris, graduated from his Master year in June ‘11 at the Royal Fashion Academy of Antwerp. All his pieces and collections are about a poetic and humorous line, something lost between an ancestral material and some quasi-sadomasochistic details! When I saw his designs for the first time I thought, woow his really young and his imaginary couldn’t be more in its apogee. He’s drawed as the image of his designs. Someone as funny and meticulous at the same time. Niels creates in every collection, a pastel-coloured fairy tale out of the best leather ever: Delvaux. Artistic fashion Made in Belgium just let us impressed! Plus, there is nothing cutest as the story he tells about his creations. “Guess technology isn’t ready for Pancake Teleportation” is a story about a boy in an overpowering universe

who has an imaginary and invisible boyfriend. Each day he prepares to marry his imaginary boyfriend, always coming up with different visions of what he should wear when his dream finally comes true. He starts trying on his grandmother’s couture outfits while playing video games and eating sweets all wrapped in tweed, silk and sequin-studded tulle and killer leather accessories... Niels Peeraer’s collections are made out of vegetable tanned bridle leather in combination with brass fittings, carefully crafted but still with the intention to celebrate the natural beauty and strength of the leather. ‘The lotus and the snake, the curse of the white fox’ is the last one at the moment, where he invented a collection about a Japanese boy and a girl trying to protect their family crest. Niels Peeraer’s collections are made out of vegetable tanned bridle leather in combination with brass fittings, carefully crafted but still with the intention to celebrate the natural beauty and strength of the leather. The last collection for this upcoming SS 13 is going to be called “Golden rays seal the gift as Zephyr crowns your silken heart” and we are pleased to tell you that we will be at the Musée des Arts Déco in Paris, for the showroom. So exciting! :-)

Thanks to: Festival Europavox, Woodkid, Julie Politi from G.U.M

Yeah you can guess it, we’ve been some months ago in a great festival in France, called Europavox, where we’ve been invited to enjoy a fresh and eclectic line-up! Good artists. Boosted atmosphere. We’re quite prepared! 19:30 pm: I’m inside the VIP space for some cocktails before the show! woww there is a lot of passion and smiles here! Let’s start! Woodkid is the musician alias of Yoann Lemoine, French director/singer/songwriter, originally known as a music video director (The Shoes, Lana del rey, Moby, “Light” short film Commissioned by Diane Pernet for VOGUE ITALIA & ASVOFF,...) The audience that evening came for him, for brass. Brooklyn atmosphere. Deep and haunting melodies, a sensual voice dissimulated by its velvet, musicians row, impressive scenography. Woodkid springs his usual running with an orchestral blow. We just let us embark to the poetry and see how the accuracy leads the chorus ... Now it’s time to an nterview: Woodkid bares his art and tells us ... He calls his latest album style “pop”, different from what can be listen now but not avant-garde.

An emotional and natural pierces the strength of the concept of this album: a story, his story. Heavily influenced by his travels, his encounters and his life in Brooklyn, wanted above all else convey emotions, melodies, images and voice to the public. the desire to produce is an element to animate this young musician and director. The clip out of his EP “Run Boy Run”, from his new album planned end of 2012, is a graphic art project designed entirely in black and white whose history is that of a child, fleeing the world to reach its destiny. The clip here: http://www.yoannlemoine.com/woodkid/ Questions / Answers: One of his future projects: a film. Clermont moved and excited to perform on the stage of Europavox because it is the first official in France after his international tour. A question that he was never asked in interviews but would have: he does not know. And when I asked him if he had been a hero, he would have preferred to embody Robin Hood or King Arthur: he answered categorically “Robin Wood, because it is less hard to bear. “

Night 1 It’s inside the Coopérative de Mai (Contemporary Music Scene in Clermont-Ferrand). My whole week-end started with Esser and Woodkid. That british band Esser has been THE great re-discovery! Influenced by the sophisticated glam rock of David Bowie and some inspiration from Damon Albarn. From the pop-rock in the rough and severe groundwater to electro-dance. Chic, glam, dark and aesthetics confusing. An oxymoron unto itself: The Magazine Issue is conquered! Esser is Ben Esser, 23 years old, born in Essex (UK) and known as well as another project ‘LadyFuzz’. Now he let us all surprised with his debuts with Braveface, in 2009 recorded in his own house and edited by Transgressive Records, where some good elements like Foals, Graham Coxon, Mystery Jets and more, have been colaborating. Apart from his terribly success with his radical haircut, it seems like is the one who knows where the emperor fall called ‘fame’ starts to repell ! He converts the scene in something between 90’s pop and bouncy electro with some touch of nonchalance. We are playing between two waters: something retro with something really actual, without succombing to tat usual trend of hipster irony. He has grown and evolved among musicians in his own family and he shows it! A lot of synthesizer, a real search for the lyrics, in this show his quite prepared and we are too! Time to let your ears enjoy his new LP ‘Enmity’.

The Shoes: an electro-pop duo French from Reims, created in 2007. The Shoes is Guillaume Brière and Benjamin Lebeau, both authors, composers, producers. Our AngloSaxon friends have already talked about them... The first LP see the lights in 2011 ‘Crack My Bones’, in the independant french label Green United Music. Almost all the songs are featuring with some other artists like Esser, Wave Machine or Anthonin Tenant, ...Here is when Yoann Lemoîne from Woodkid takes his place...He realised the video clip ‘Wastin’ time’ and then the lives just arrived. Some awards, and good positions in the top 10, with TV programing. But another clip let us fall in love with that guys: ‘Time to Dance’ in 2012, by Daniel Wolfe with the actor Jake Gyllenhaal. They also made some remix for Santigold, Late

of the Pier, The Virgins, ...and they have been in the best festivals around the world. Here we all feel that atmosphere made with a humourously touch. At midnight pétante on our sneakers shoes gold and go for a DJ set of madness! Guillaume Brière, only this evening, turns on the decks and we danced all night long! Dressed in his best cap, it is with amusement that presents a techno-rock set with very nice modern references: Beastie Boys, Lana del Rey, Daft Punk, etc.. A series retro 70’s-80’s brand later the mood in the room: a boosted public and the first night Europavox ends. So take your best shoes to start a mythic dance as the best freak ever in the middle of the multitude! We’ve already done! ;-)

Realisation: Sarah Alcalay.

Thanks to: Benga+ Andrew

Night 2 The next day, after a workshop on the future of journalism and the press written, the second night of the festival to the Cooperative de Mai looks at me program: Agoria and Benga. Two different worlds, two different atmospheres different and the same evening: on one side the Bass Music came from London and the other, the Techno made in France.

the cross-over anthem “Night” with DMZ’s Coki in early 2008, followed by his second album, Diary of an Afro Warrior, both on Tempa. But in 2012 he confess that anyone can put a radical tag on music because it’s something reductive “For me to remain creative, I’ve kinda not got to call my music dubstep and for me to keep pushing boundaries and moving around, making songs... I can’t call myself dubstep.”

Benga is Adegbenga Adejumo, a dubstep producer from Croydon, South London, passioned by music since his childhoodand always trying new experiences with electronic stuffs like his Playstation! With just 15 years old his started to play his first record ‘Skank’ released on Big Apple’s own record label. He has been featured in several compilations and invited to the essential mix at the BBC radio. In 2007 Benga, along with fellow producers Skream and Artwork, formed the dubstep supergroup Magnetic Man. Benga released

Late in the evening that soars Benga is quickly propelled to the forefront and this evening we assist to a show worthy of that name: MC + singer+ ethereal scenography , a recipe that works pretty well! Master in the field, we find a new approach and a growing evolution of bass music for the 21 century, made in London. Accompanied by the singer Bebe Black, Benga delivers an epic live! Bass music for excellence! Let’s have a beat!

1 / AGORIA

Photography: Loic Peoch. H.Alcalay Text: Hannah Alcalay. InFiné & Mental Groove Label. Europavox festival. The night at the festival just ends with beauty! In fact we’ve been in the Agoria DJ set, extracted from his new live ‘Agoria presents forms’ There is all an installation prepared behind the scene. The french DJ Sébastien Devaud starts to get his place with an enormous screen, an elevated stage like a pedestal made in paper fold into pleats, like an accordion! So delicate! Suspense for the audience until the last second. Into the dark. The first notes slowly dispersed, first luminous focus and here is the theatrical entrance of Agoria, causing screaming in da place! :-) Sébastien Devaud is a producer, composer and DJ of electronic music.He grows in an artistic and musical family and impressed by a DJ set made by Jeff Mills when he was 16 years old, he starts to learn some to play some mix. Sébastien made 4 LP which original band is Go Fast and he cofounded the InFiné Label. He has been in Les Nuits Sonores in Lyon, and publish the song which is going to be known: ‘La Onzième marche’ in 2001. In the LP ‘Blossom’ we can enjoy with Tricky participation...

Thanks to: Agoria. Virginie Freslon from

Let’s the show begin! The lights play is impressive. It doesn’t matter if you’re far from them, you can also enjoy it. An air and airy dance, a rainbow sky brighter colors as each other. Behind the french master of techno house, there are shapes, images and videos parade scrowling with a color code for each one. We leaves us gradually immersed in a magical world. All the visual work achieved by the collective Scale seems to refer to the artists travels, to their many encounters, meetings, influences that result. Japan remains an ubiquitous source: sometimes represented by industrialization and society consumption, smetimes evidenced by its culture and unique architecture. Beautiful volumes, melodious songs, the space is all controled and turned to a dancefloor for a while... The Issue Magazine is conquered! The only downside of that night: an interview with Agoria which falls into the water, but let’s think that is just a postponement! Stars in my eyes, the breath cuted by the good music, engraved melodies and atmosphere of madness in this summertime!

When the hip hop meets house...

Usually, when we speak about hip hop culture , we think about people, crazy people who spinnind their heads around the streets. We expect Rap music, graff, basket.. But we are ignorant about the diversity ant the melting potv is involved in HIP HOP.The street is global. From Rio de Janeiro to the streets of Paris , street has saw and built dances as hip hop , salsa, ragga…All dance came from street , is the fisrt key to understand Dance. But since 20 years , there is a movement from club to street which is not well known: House dance. When Clubbin meets the streets..

House Dance has built in a community based dance , obviously surrounded by music and DJs, but many of the dancers who were not looking to create, ended up becoming a part of that dance vocabulary. The main source in house dance movement comes from the music and the elements within the music such as Jazz, African, Latin, Soul, R&B, Funk, Hip Hop, etc. The principal source , essence of it, is the People, the individuals and their characteristics, ethnicities, origin, etc. And the bonus is “the body language”. House dance is a social dance before these competitions. In house dancing there is an emphasis on the subtle rhythms and riffs of the music, and the footwork follows them closely. This is one of the main features that distinguishes house dancing from dancing .

Posse , Pro Phenomen, Serial Stepperz has consacred and turn their talent towards house involve it as a real dance in shows , etc… House is S.M.I.L.E Since more than 10 years House dance is became a dance category in battle; But it doesn’t loose his goal and power: bring smiles on people’s faces. People ( again) , meets each other around the Music , they share and show new steps, new figure, new inspiration as Afro House. In words is a little bit diffcult to explain how deep is the power of House . It looks like as all hearts beats at the same time.

HOUSE AND HIP HOP House is not a descendent of hip hop. But they are linked and grow up together.It is related by way of musical experimentation of the early 80s. Many hip hop dancers crossed into house during the late 80s and early 90s bringing with them the ability to sequence steps and using more percussive rhythms. The hip hop mannerisms (i.e. battling, clothing, and language) influence a period in houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history bringing it to the present day. Hip hopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest gift to house dance was its sentiment. Many strait male dancers found a middle ground in which they could dance and experiment with the music during this

evolution. Prior to that time, house was generally played in predominantly gay clubs or venues with strong gay sensibilities. Instead of losing our energy and time in thinking, the best medicinez that I recommend is dancing, listening .Free your soul , Free your mind..And you will find Happiness.

Major contributors to the house dance scene in New York City include Ejoe Wilson, Brian “Footwork” Green, Tony McGregor, Marjory Smarth, Caleaf Sellers, “Brooklyn” Terry Wright, Shannon Mabra, Tony “Sekou” Williams, Shannon Selby (aka Shan S), Voodoo Ray, Chris Sawyer, and many others. But the phenomenon exceeded the frontiers. In France, most the best dancers and crews became addict about House dance and have bring it in French clubs in paris. Nowadays, they teach steps n, house dance in shools as Juste Debout? Studio Mrg, Studio l envol...FRom North to south of fRance, Hoiuse danse has spread like an oil stain... From New York To Paris , House music and its dance take place in Hip Hop culture and Dance culture. Some the best dancers and best crew as Wanted Posse , Pro Phenomen, Serial Stepperz has consacred and turn their talent towards house involve it as a real dance in shows , etc…. SHAPE SHAPE House is S.M.I.L.E Since more than 10 years House dance is became a dance category in battle; But it doesn’t loose his goal and power: bring smiles on people’s faces. People ( again) , meets each other around the Music,

they share and show new steps, new figure, new inspiration as Afro House. In words is a little bit diffcult to explain how deep is the power of House . It looks like as all hearts beats at the same time. SHAPE HOUSE AND HIP HOP House is not a descendent of hip hop. But they are linked and grow up together.It is related by way of musical experimentation of the early 80s.

Marie is one of that persons you can’t forget. I met her on my first years in the school of Fine Arts in France, some years ago. She was always enthusiastic, curious about everything and the most important thing: She had talent. The photography is her ‘cup of tea’ and her work has been mostly awarded in so much places. With Marie, you never know when you’ll contact her because she’s always travelling, moving, having some great idea to push her determination to another land... The realization of a project is always a new adventure, an experience of the Other or a meeting with his own self, a little revelation, something like an ‘I do not know what makes us feel that there is something’.

The Photography makes sense to me when the Stories are woven, the skits are played. Allegories created are not great stories, but rather representations to generate an own imagination. When it’s offering and a poetic form, a way to celebrate the world and living material. What I would like to offer to the “viewer” is somewhere else, a different part, a pause, a suspension of judgment ... As an invitation to project his personal and poetic logic, somewhere in the doorway (between spatiality) of bodies, shapes and colors.

ART / Linda Sp책man

Last fall, a day dressed in grey a strange woman called me, I mean strange in the sense that I didn’t know her. She asked if I was the real fortuneteller of Gothenburg,the place where i live in Sweden.This happens to me a lot since my last name means fortuneteller in swedish. Earlier this day i had stared out of the window and sighed over the depressing swedish weather and how boring my life was at this time. To make matters worse the fall had killed all my flowers on my balcony, and I hate when that happens. I had just returned to Gothenburg from Beijing (a city I try to live in as much as possible) and since all I do here except for draw and paint is complain and wish that I where somewhere else you can imagine the horror that is my life. Anyway, the woman called and my first response was “No no, you’ve got the wrong number, I’m not a real fortuneteller…” But the woman was persistent and said “But you must

be! I found you in the phonebook. I’m at a crossroad, I need advice.” I said “No I really can’t help you.” But in the same second I felt “what kind of boring person am I to say no to this kind of adventure being offered to me,how hard could it be?” So I changed my mind and said “You’re right, of course I’m the real fortuneteller of Gothenburg, when do you want to meet?.” That same day I went out to buy a deck of tarot-cards, I realized that I had (subconsciously) spent the last decade to decorate my home into the perfect set for a real fortuneteller so I felt secure with the setting. Now, there was the actual reading but I immediately started to practice plus I called a distant friend who I remembered worked at at psychic hotline. I always begin my reading of people with “I sense that you’re in a crossroad”. I guess anyone that wants to know anything about their future is.

This last year I’ve met a lot of strangers, both in Sweden and in China and I read their future and draw our meeting, this last thing is nothing that they’re aware of but on the other hand I’m not a real fortuneteller.All this will be my future future book called “Äkta Spåman” (Real Fortuneteller). But before that future my next book and project will come out in the beginning of 2013,an illustrated novel called BrF Ensamheten (The Lonely Building) a dark, sadistic story with sex and murder and community. I guess all my projects have a dark stroke to them but more than that I think that they’re funny, at least I like to think that they’re funny. The Lonely Building is different from my other projects in that way that it’s the first one where I don’t appear in. Or a character that looks like me in it. I like to make pictures of myself,i do every day both i drawing and in photographs.

Im some sort of Narcissius i guess. What else? I collect dolls and wedding-dresses ,taking photos of myself every day,draw people i know and don’t know,collect their stories and the things the tell me, paint, work a little with magic or just relax while turning my balcony garden into perfection. Another Eden. Oh and if you wonder about the woman, let’s just say that what happens at the crossroad stays at the crossroad. Or in my future book.

- Silvia Bianchi as a fidget girl that we discovered as an artist with high talent, in all the domains she explores. Dazzled by her determination and passion:

TI: A universe

TI: How did you get in contact with The Issue mag?

-to create Shallowww to separate clothing production from artistic work. I also began to work as a fashion stylist, and I decided to do that under the pseudonym Barriobajero.

The true is that was because of Ineditos, I wanted to know more about AnselmeCalderè and searching on the internet I discovered your magazine. TI: Define us Shallowww, who is the identity under that corporative symbol? Shallowww is a brand for internet lovers. All the designs are created starting from the internet language and semiology with the aim of translating to textile production the 2.0 imagenary. The items are distribuited only online and diffused like memes on a global scale, but respecting ethical and local production strandards. The productions are limited and based on printed on demand philosophy. TI: A shape A circle

One unknown

TI: How could you describe your ‘multicaps’ as a multicharacter with multifunctions? I think that they are just different way of expressing my personality, but they are all related in some way. I began to make visual when a was 20, after a couple of years I approached video art, my first installations mixed textile and video cause I’ve always thought that video just projected on a screen or an lcd are boring. My granma used to help me, she is an amazing tailor and she taught me to sew whan I was a kid. Then I founded Barriobajero with Ricardo Juarez, I t began in 2009 as a tumblr log dealing with fashion, design and internet art and it has evolved into a overchanging platform including publications, apparel and curating. Then at the beginning of this year we decided to create Shallowww to separate clothing production from artistic work. I also began to work as a fashion stylist, and I decided to do that under the pseudonym Barriobajero.

TI: What’s a visual artist to you? Anyone able to tell something unpredictable with images. TI: Do you think there is a distinction to make between classes, to understand contemporary art? I think you need to deconstruct all classes and definitions to understand Contemporary Art. TI: Festibal con B de Bici I was invited by the guys from Viernes to customize a bike during the festival B de Bici, which took place last May at Matadero Contemporary Art Center, Madrid. It was fun, kids and friends helped me out, I had a great day there. I love to make manual things but not often I have time to do that. TI- SUN-DYE Yoga Center to set up an exhibition at their space in Gothemborg. It was nice to imagine how to fill an entire space. We decided to make something dealing involving the tye dye process. We projected a fabric with a 3D video of liquid falling down while real liquid was going up

from the floor, dying the fabric. The fabrics where then transformed in a capsule collection of meta-clothes. TI: 3 tracks Gucci Mane - Hustlin’ A$AP Rocky - Purple Dj Nate - Extasy TI: -A place to be as a VJ? Behind a midi controller Behind a piece of fabric -As an artist? Behind a canvas -As a designer? Behind a piece of fabric TI: Upcoming & next projects? Next Shallowww’s sweater will be released next week so stay tuned. And we are working on an exhibition about the relation between art and internet but I can’t say more than this right now.

I have studied Television and Cinema Direction in Argentina and I finished it. I am a cinema and Television director in theory. I went to the music conservatory too, but I dropped off at the third year. When I got graduated in Television and Cinema Direction I went to Europe to visit a friend who was living in Madrid and making a lot of money playing the guitar on the tube, the nine grey line. It was when he suggested me staying there and playing together. I was on holiday, but I never went back to Argentina. I started to make more money playing during 4 hours rather than a person working during 8, so that I could travel along a lot of cities meanwhile. After that, we moved to a little town in Barcelona where we keep on playing the guitar, however I got fed up of living there. There was a lot of boredom, heroin… I dropped off in Barcelona the guitar and the voice for the play/ pause/syncro bmp and the “good taste in the songs selection” (DJ) Was there where I knew friends that were modeling and I decided to start taking pictures as the substances and Barcelona madness helped me to create unique characters. I met a lot of people from Sweden and I decided to move on there as I like Scandinavian people due to their skin, features and the simplicity of their fashion designs. I am influenced by Terry Richardson and Guy Bourdin, although I have a “love-hate relationship” with the first one as I believe that he is a PR with a digital camera. Nevertheless if he could achieve it, I will be able too.

YIMIT RAMIREZ

It’s unbelievable the times you have to run after someone! Some months ago I met that boy. Yimit Ramírez Glez, from Cuba. He was wearing a bag pack from one of the best cinematographic festivals in the world: The Short films festival of Clermont-Ferrand (FR). He was one of the selected guests last year and he decided to talk a bit about his short film ‘Reflexiones...’ TI: Tell us who is Yimit Ramirez? I was born in San Antonio de los Baños and I live in Havana. I studied Fine Arts at “San Alejandro” (National Academy of Fine Arts) and then, design at ISDI (Superior Institute of Design). In summary, I play around the world of design, art and film. TI: Your backgrounds: Being from Cuba is something that marks me deeply; due to our particular reality, I think I can see the world a bit differently than others. I know there are advantages and disadvantages about it, and now, I’m trying to work out how the “outside” world functions, without losing my vision as a Cuban. TI: Why short films, if you had a choice, could you bet a full lenght? which story could it be ? I do not think that feature films, documentaries, fiction or animation are competing, I see them, simply, as different categories, different languages, and I like them all. So far, I’ve only made short films as a matter of budget, but I plan to make feature films,

and when this happens, I will continue to make short films because I will still like them. Short films are not necessarily a step before feature films. TI: When did you know something about that festival? I got to know the festival thanks to “La Muestra Joven”, a festival that brings together the work of young Cuban filmmakers of the last 10 years. It has been through it that many of us had the chance to be part in other international festivals, such as the short film festival of Clermont Ferrand. For 3 or 4 years, Laurent Crouzeix (from Clermont Ferrand) has been coming to Havana to “La Muestra Joven”. This year, they have organized a special program on Cuban short films and they have kindly invited some of us to travel to France. TI: As a contemporary filmmaker, where do you see yourself tomorrow? Why? Nevermind if we are talking about cinema or places, I feel proud to say that I just have one answer and it is “I don’t know”. I never plan things in a long future, I just know that I want to carry on “communicating”, no matter the way I do it or the place I’m in… it will depend on the reality of each moment. TI: Favourite movies: Well, here there go the first 10 films that come to mind, but, perhaps if you ask me tomorrow, 3 or 4 will change. Mind Game, Ilha das Flores, Brüno,

2001: A Space Odyssey, Hero by Zhang Yimou, Spirited Away, Les Triplettes de Belleville, The Matrix, Memorias del subdesarrollo, Pulp fiction. TI: Worst moments: When I have face of the formalities of the festivals. TI: Tell us the story of ‘Refexiones’ It is hard to explain to someone who is not from Cuba, although I suppose it is quite interesting. The film is based on a phenomenon that happens in Cuba that we call the “inverted pyramid”. An example for it, is that a security guard makes more money than a doctor. In the film, the story is told using the language of Cuban advertisement or propaganda. TI: How do you get your inspiration and ideas? It all starts with having a critical and analytical view on reality added to the memories, fantasies and experiences that are archived in mind. It is a mélange from which many combinations of ideas come out, all having different shares on the ingredients. The most enigmatic ideas are usually attributed to “the muse”, but I think that the process is always the same. I like to drink from reality and when an idea comes to mind I just try to find out what can be the best way to communicate it. TI: Do you think a message that you want to transmit, has to be in english?

No, although it is clear that English is currently the most international language, each language is unique and a sum of an identity of a region in this planet. I think that one should be loyal to one’s language and also… there is nothing worse than dubbed films. TI: If you had to write and record something engaged and not politically correct about fashion, what could it be? First of all, I don’t mind if something is politically incorrect as long as it is a message that I think I must give. About fashion, I care very little about it. I think that makes many people slaves of it but, again, it’s not fashion’s fault. TI: Future projects? Now I’m looking to gather the budget for a fiction short film, working in several animations, and also preparing a documentary about the experience of a Cuban traveling abroad for the first time.

With Lisa Wassén...

TI: Since when did you start modeling? I started with modeling in February this year. Me and my friends were in Gothenburg when NMG saw me and asked if I wanted to join them. TI: How did you face your first photoshoot? I was a little bit nervous before the photoshoot, but it all went very well. The photographer and make-up artists were very kind to me. I was quite proud of the results afterwards. TI: What are you thinking when the camera lens is pointing at you?

Nothing special,I just concentrate on what they tell me to do. TI: It is really so competitive the world of models? No, not so much, I haven´t met that because I´ve just started so the model world is pretty new for me. TI: What photographer would you like to work with? And which designer? I don´t have any favorite but I like Michael Kors design for example. TI: How did you learn to pose or it was just innate? Most I´ve learned by the photographers on the photoshoots, but I also get advice by Emanuel and Gibril on NMG and practice at home.

TI: What is really more important: to be cute, tall or thin? I think it´s most important to be cute as a model.

TI: What do you do to get inspiration? I look in magazines and on internet on model pictures and get inspiration bythem.

TI: You would like to go... My dream is to go to New York and work there.

TI: How do you relax? I relax when I´m with my best friends. I also relax when I´m at home and I watch some episodes of Gossip Girl.

TI: Have you done any catwalks, if so, what about the shoes? No I haven´t done any catwalk yet. TI: Do you follow any diet? No I think the best is to eat normally and train to be fit, at least for me.

TI: The day before a show what do you do? I haven´t done any show yet so I don´t really know, but I think i would sleep properly the night before and train my walk one last time before the show.

The shining armour About Moustaches

Text: Ignacio Tejedor López In the last issue some weeks ago I talked about streets as a battleground, a political space where our society is growing up. We should take into consideration the moustache which remind us Movember vintage trend. Coptash, handlebar, walrus, pencil, toothbrush are just some of the many different facial hair styles that we can find in London, New York and more and more cities following celebrities as Freddie Mercury, Frank Zappa, Ringo Starr or Cantinflas by way of ilustration. Lipovetsky writes in the middle eighties Retro has no content, does not mean anything and strives in a kind of parody slight, in explicit and putting forward significances of the archaic fashion1. He thoungh about vintage fashion just a consumerism way to re-activate the fashion mechanism wich always need new images to take place. Far from that deliberation but agree with several points, the connection between humor and retro style is not as trivial as can it seem to. The American Mustache Institute and its research group continues to battle negative stereotyping that has accompanied the mustache2, Movember collective asks men across the world to grow a moustache with the aim of raising vital funds and awareness for men’s health issues3, in the most popular áreas in differents internationals capitals there is any moustache symbol wich mix smart and funny trend. Even now we can get surprise if we see a flamboyant moustache, for most of us is something out of order cause we got used to see it in old pictures and films, important figures in the history wore a distinctive fluff, today the people who is wearing it references with his moustache the celebrity as they want look. 1.

THE ISSUE MAGAZINE

CLOSET

In The Issue Magazine we would like to talk about fashion as a conspiracy against the rules. We support that inspiration comes from the rupture, so we believe in the user´s potential to create new symbols in the fashion code through their own proposals. At this stage, we reckon that everybody has a unique fashion code, a little and enigmatic hidden catwalk into their closets. That´s why we want you to grab your most awesome outfits and hang them into The Issue Magazine closet. ISSCloset is a tribute to irreverence, creativity, madness… and above all, good taste! We will suggest a topic periodically which you will have to reinterpret upon your own creativity. It´s so easy as to send your pictures to info@theissuemagazine.com and let them to be the spotlight, the next trend topic on our site

3 Essentials for the F/W12 by Daul Be White knit: I’m in love with chunky white cable knit sweaters from Chloe F/W12 collection. White knits are such classic staples. This sweater I’m wearing has an electric blue panel along the back hem that gives it a bit of masculinity, which is totally Dressmonsta approved! Bijoux: Gems add a dash of glamour to absolutely anything! I love the subtle embellishments on this skirt so much. I can dress it up with an over-the-top top or stay classy with a simple ivory silk blouse. Two tone: It’s all about the details. When it comes to outerwear, the lining is just as important as the outer shell. This long beige blazer with neon piping makes it more fun and less serious.
