welcome. Concept YOUR premium store Editor-in-chief & Art Direction Maxime Heirbaut Fragrance Expert Wim Janssens
While writing this magazine, temperature keeps consistently rising, which could mean two things; our deadline is too damn tight and we’re working our asses off a little too hard or… spring is here! We don’t know about you guys, but we’re even more excited about the arrival of spring this year than ever before. How could it be otherwise, with such a colourful, new collection in store?
Hairdresser YOUR hairdresser Stijn
For warmer temperatures, you’ll have to wait a few more months, but there’s no harm in enjoying the first sun on the terrace in your brand new, bold spring-ish outfit. Perfect to chase away the wintry blues. Last summer, we were already introduced to the use of bold, striking colours. This season, we’re very happy to say that colour is here to stay. And we’re happy about it, because the right touch of it can make an outfit extra fresh and exciting.
Models YOUR favourites Renée Van Osta (FLAG models agency) Laura Helmer (A-town Dolls agency) Nicolas Robyn Tommy Chang Shana Van der Veken

Nostalgia at it’s best The work of Sandrina and Michael, designers of the brand Sandrina Fasoli, is based on continuity, stability, relevance and homogeneity. Their universe develops and matures gradually season after season. The signature elements of their style are refinement and grace, both issued from their shared passion and nostalgia for elegants of the 20’s to the 50’s. This interest for archives and history enables them to focus on details, finishing and cuts without omitting the body and sensuality and above all without ignoring that “in the end” a woman is wearing the garment. Their well-grounded choice for transparent and fluid materials and soft colour tones, inspired by female lingerie, states their desire for absolute femininity.

FASHION Pastel pinks, polka dot prints and cobalt blue, Parisian designer Vanessa Bruno has swept us away once again with her easy-chic femininity in this season’s Athé collection… Athé, the diffusion line from the doyenne of French cool shares the same beautifully, wearable aesthetic as Vanessa Bruno’s main line, offering stylish wardrobe staples with a contemporary twist.
The Perfect Mix of Authenticity and Chicness Picture a woman; a radiant beautiful woman in the bare light of her beauty. A fulfilled woman feeling good about her body and her life in general, whatever her age. It is a natural beauty whose good looks are not depending on clothes or accessories. That is the spirit of American Vintage: easy, comfortable and never-to-date items with the trendy zest that makes the line suitable to all personalities. It is a fashion moving in the times giving back simplicity and authenticity their original grandeur.
“A fashion that will never date!”
Behind the scenes of the 5Preview-shoot
Sea Breeze Emeli martensson’s , designer of 5preview, inspiration comes from the daily life of people born in the 70-80’s. The globals who are always on the road with friends in every city. The individual that needs a wardrobe, catching up with the continuous movement. Simplicity, wearable & high quality fabrics are the key to this collection. “The clothes are made for me and my friends,” Emeli says “ I would never design anything I wouldn’t wear myself.” The teenage rebel has grown up and is now a very conscious and confident “femme fatale”. 08 09

Cowboy Tendency
Minimum’s spring collection draws its main inspiration from the American work wear of the 50’s slightly touched by cowboy tendency. Oversized shirts and broader lines give the collection a looser fit and a more casual appearance. Earthly colours and natural garments results in a desirable collection perfectly suited for the new spring season. Minimum spring features combinations between confident looks, attitude and masculine expressions. Approach the summer feeling comfortable and creative, have fun and enjoy...
Life is a joke For for the Elevenparis Spring/Summer 2012 collection, photographer Terry Richardson captures edgy snapshots of Ash Stymest and Tali Lennox playfully posing in the label’s gear. The brand, which is known for its tagline, “life is a joke”, features oh so cool, casual pieces with a rock and roll image. This branding is conveyed perfectly in Richardson’s images with the use of Annie Lennox’s daughter starring in the series as she hangs of off her male counterpart and shares a lollipop with him. Add some skinny jeans into the mix, and what you get with the ELEVENPARIS Spring/ Summer 2012 campaign is a message that appeals to youth looking for alternative forms of representation in regards to their style.

“A step bigger than a brand: it’s a culture.” Deus (“day-us”) didn’t set out only to sell custom parts and hand-built motorcycles, but to celebrate a culture of creativity. The Deus ex Machina showroom/cafe/headquarters in Sydney immediately became a shrine to ‘runwhat-you-brung’ resourcefulness and streethonest industrial art. The Deus philosophy recalls an era before the various pursuits of fun – motorcycling, surfing, skateboarding, whatever – were marketed into fundamentalist factions. All are welcomed under the Deus roof, where there’s simply respect for the honesty and enjoyment of the machine. Inclusiveness, authenticity, enthusiasm. It’s a simple and sincere pitch that has winged Deus ex Machina across the world. Deus ex Machina says simply there’s no ‘right way’ to do individualism, its all the same juice.

Bon Voyage Moving on from FW11’s theme of an Englishman in New York, Ben Sherman’s SS12 collection has been inspired by the journey from Brighton to Tokyo, resulting in a contemporary take on a Modernist Cruise Collection. With this voyage in mind and in acknowledgement of the sheer breadth of influence that created the line, they are proud to present the Spring collection.

Italian tailoring specialist Not just one of Italy’s leading tailors, Boglioli also likes to be characterised as a family, indicating the traditional approach and rigorous standards maintained by the company. Based in the Brescia region of Italy, Boglioi’s signature is lightweight tailoring with a neat cut. Boglioli is great during the summer when a structured jacket becomes quite the discomfort, the lining, canvasing and padding all can be very restricting. The dyed garments really gives the jacket it’s own unique characteristics.

Today, Converse Inc. debuts its Spring/Summer 2012 Chuck Taylor All Star footwear collection, which celebrates its position as a modern icon, and pays tribute to the Summer season.
Erik&Emilia’s inspiration comes partly from the Swedish fashion arena when they were in the process of making our spectacles. The stylishness that are deeply rooted in Swedish design is something that they wanted to recreate into the area which spectacles are in, they want to turn spectacles into an accessory that can be worn by everybody everyday. Throughout the Nordic culture and the design E&E aims to map out Swedish Lapland.
Inspired by the exotic Nordic environment
Knowledge Cotton Apparel tells us that the definition of a good story is one that gets better with every new chapter. Spring/Summer 2012 is all about bold Scandinavian looks with a spirit of work wear and high-class tailored details. Living our lives dominated by technology and fast living, we feel and see an increasingly urgent need for an authentic and solid experience. We want to feel with all our senses and we buy what we believe in. Natural and honest designs are a part of our own legacy. All our designs are inspired by our own history — simple but yet very sophisticated and rich in its presence. Natural, beautiful authentic fabrics such as linen, chambray and twills are combined with an authentic kind of elegance that revisits classic styles. While we love summer we also always remember to keep in mind that a cold winter always follows warm summer. Keep cool for now — we look forward seeing you again soon wearing knits and parkas.

Reiko Crazy Girls Wildfox Couture’s Spring 2012 collection is a nod to the western film genre, encapsulating its movie stars like Faye Dunaway and Clint Eastwood on set in costume with big hair, cowboy boots, prop guns strapped to their hips, and the romanticism behind spaghetti westerns of the 1960’s. Spring graphics are inspired by vintage style western t-shirts and western gothic romance with crosses and guns, cow skulls and birds, and old sayings in western fonts. The colour palette is an array of soft pastels focused on lavender, baby blue and baby pink, with splashes of Desert Sun neon yellow and Cactus Cooler tangerine.

“ I picked out the most premium hairproducts I think you will like during Spring. This selection includes the J Beverly Hills Platinum kit, a healthy scalp shampoo, a proactive conditioner and a volumizing conditioner. Come and ask in store and I will be happy to help! ”
Hola Chola! Did you guys miss me? In the spring edition of our Magalogue, I’d like to tell you a bit more about the hair trends this season. I’ll start with the men, as they will have the most difficulties in transitioning between winter-spring hairdos. Dear guys, men, gentlemen, the temperatures are rising every day and I know some of you are struggling with the fact that hats were the ultimate winter accessory, but it’s time to put them back in your closet now, as well as your winter coat by the way. A new season means a new, short hairstyle. And oh yes I’m talking trim style here. The sides and backsides of your hair go short, while the top stays a bit longer. No more hair in the face this season. The longer part of the hair goes straight or diagonally behind your head. Consider it a James Dean meets Mad Men look. The perfect snit for all you chino-lovers out there, but the tough Diesel fans will definitely like this style too. Much to my regret, we are also evolving back to a no-go on facial hair (a trend I do not intend to follow, but who knows…). This summer, we all have to look like cleanshaven teenagers AKA the baby faces are back. Hey I’m just spotting the trends, not making them, don’t kill the messenger, kill the beard!
Now girls, I don’t have to tell you that clothes and hairstyles walk hand in hand. As you probably noticed in this magazine, this season is all about colour, colour and colour. But we also see more prints, less flat surfaces and bolder combinations. In your hair, this is translated to texture. The last decade, we’ve seen many different trends, many different colours and haircuts, but they had one thing in common; they were smooth and shiny. That chapter is over now. Colours are duller and often not that smooth (the tip-dye is a trend that will soon disappear, but a natural looking fade-out is here to stay). A fade out is a colour transition in which your hair gradually lightens to the tips of your hair, so it looks natural. That combined with a natural-looking wave or curl gives you a very romantic look. This spring, we still see a lot of long hair with center separations and like I said, this time the hair moves naturally. So throw away those round brushes and use the CHI curling irons. Then, I promise you, I’ll make a clear tutorial on how to create that lovely, sexy and light hairdo… WORD. I wish you a lot of peace, love and hair like you see on TV xxx STIJN

Inoui Paris
JEWELLERY Founded by Danish born Jannik Olander, the headquarters for the Niayala brand is in Hollywood. ‘Niayala’, the name of the brand, is the name of a shaman Jannik met in India, who had an life-changing effect on his life. Each bead and stone used in the collection have been handsourced by the designer on his world travels. Jannik combines fashion know-how, an eye for luxury, a taste for the exotic with utter finesse. Armed with a background in fashion – having worked with fashion houses such as Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger – and his extensive travels to India and the Far East, all of the designs in the Niayala collection beautifully translate his skills, passions and dreams. Hanna Wallmark created a new mixed line; bracelets in denim. The jean returns with force in all tendencies for spring summer 2012. The idea of this line is to offer continuity to the “total” or to bring the “trendy” touch to wake a classic style. With the washed-out blue or the raw-jean blue she plays on the contrasts of the colours of jeans and allows each one to choose a model according to their own personality.

Elvine prides itself on a strong denim philosophy, but aims to produce a varied line that goes beyond denim, incorporating different materials, washes and treatments in order to give the clothes an effortless elegance. YOUR got to speak with founder Daniel Mänd. “We strive to produce clothes that transcend seasons, that are easy to wear and combine with the rest of your wardrobe, clothes with a good fit and clean cut, ornamented with innovative details that force others to take notice.”

Can you describe what Elvine clothes are all about? I’ve always tried to create clothes that me and my friends can’t seem to find elsewhere on the market. Casual yet sophisticated clothes with a great fit. Clothes that you can feel comfortable wearing everyday and everywhere.

How do you find inspiration before you design a collection? What inspires you? Late nights, Gothenburg, traveling and Japanese people. But most of all, my friends. You can read about some of them in this booklet.
Y: D:
Can you describe your design process in a few sentences? It usually starts with a group discussion within our company, in order for me to find the framework for the collection and get a feeling about where we want to go with it. then I travel to interesting places in order to get loads of impressions and inspiration. I always bring my sketch book and usually sketch about half the collection really fast in order to get myself started, and to get something on paper. But when I get back home I tend to revise the whole thing and start all over, before finishing the collection in two intense weeks. Designing goes really fast for me when I find the flow.
Y: D:
What about the production? During the whole design process I’m very conscious about the production process, thinking ahead in regards to which textiles to use, how it’s going to be produced and which details might be suitable for the different garments. Quality is really important to us. I love visiting our factories and finding out about new textiles and techniques, and to get a feel for the production process. I hope this is something you’ll notice and feel wearing our clothes.
Dare Jennings Director of the brand Deus
Mr.Jennings came to YOUR to check out our wide range of Deus Customs clothing, we asked him if he could explain the background and philosophy of the brand. Deus ex Machina is a custom motorcycle company. We design, build and endlessly gas-bag over bikes at the Deus Temple of Enthusiasm in Camperdown, Sydney. There you’ll find our 350sq-m workshop, showroom, accessories store and the renowned Deus Café. What makes Deus different is that the adventure neither begins nor ends with some tick-the-box, out-the-door ‘custom’ bike. A Deus custom motorcycle builds on modern components, but strips away the plastic panels to begin discovering a soul as unique as its owner’s. Deus is about celebrating more than a century of tinkering, fidgeting and fettling with motorcycles. Making them simpler, lighter. Faster, or more practical. More colourful, or more complicated. More yours.; The Deus is in the doing. We just don’t buy the notion that the coolest means the latest. Not when you can create something that’s timeless. We feel the same way about surfing, bicycles, music, skateboards, art and food. And to those who say you can’t have a foot in each camp (for that would mean having seven feet), we say: phooey. Our Camperdown hangout regularly resembles a Woodstock of wheeled weirdness. We’ve hosted swap meets and celebrations for not only several different species of motorcycles, but surfboards,bicycles and vintage BMX. Deus Café, open every day, is a moveable feast of eccentrics and experts. And what we’ve discovered is that the Deus culture of creating, learning and getting involved, isn’t only a sub-strain of Aussie rebellion and resourcefulness. We’ve found homes in Canggu, Bali;Auckland, New Zealand; and Los Angeles, California. But wherever somebody invests something more than money into their machine, Deus is there, too.
Fabio Gambone
For people who want to spend a lovely night in Italy, but don’t want to leave the country, I Famosi is the place to go. If you set foot in this typical Roman trattoria, you can actually imagine spending an evening in “La Bella Italia”. The interior was inspirited by Italian actors of the 50’s and 60’s and let me tell you, the atmosphere is probably the coziest it gets. Chef Fabio Cambone and his team will make sure you taste the best Italian dishes. Pasta, carni, pesce…everything is made with a touch of love. Add a glass of delicious wine to it and your evening is complete. Everybody who loves the typical Southern sphere combined with finger-licking dishes will be in for a treat! Chef and owner Fabio is a premium shopper at YOUR. So it’s no coincidence he’s glad to see that our stores and his restaurant share the same philosophy; to create and run a place that “serves” top quality products in a unique way. Providing only the best in a matching setting. Sharing the same neighborhood, we both try to create an area where everyone can just relax and be their selves. While you are having a drink, talk to new and interesting people, we take the customer to a premium level of guidance and assistance. www.ifamosi.be — Steenbergstraat 11, 2000 Antwerpen
