LEE & KRISVANASSCHE - AUTUMN-WINTER 2012.13

This season, KRISVANASSCHE introduces a collaboration with Lee® that celebrates the heritage and expertise of this authentic denim brand mixed with the sophisticated world of Kris Van Assche where modern masculinity is of the essence.

 
By using workwear cotton twill, Kris Van Assche reinterprets iconic Lee archive pieces like the denim jacket, the blouson, the jeans shirt, the five pocket trousers and the chino trousers, to echo the Autumn Winter collection. Five styles proposed in 2 colourways; workwear blue and dark brown, constructing two silhouettes.

The logo embossed piece of leather, the labeled gun metallic details combined with the tone on tone stitched fabrics reflect the designer’s refined world of nonchalant elegance.

The denim collection will be available through a selection of KRISVANASSCHE retailers as well as being sold in selected Lee® stores from July 2012. 
Prices range from 195 to 415 Euros.


Art Direction: Kris Van Assche 
Photographer: Bruno Staub 
Stylist: Mauricio Nardi 
Model: Arthur @ Major 
Hair: Joseph Pujalte (Atelier 68)
Make-up: Carole Colombani (Atelier 68)

Belgian unborn babies support African unborn babies.

SOS Children’s Villages is calling on unborn babies in Belgium, to do something about the thousands of unborn babies in Africa that do not survive their own birth. Pregnant mothers have been recruited to use the in utero movements of their unborn children to paint pictures, which are then sold to raise funds. You can bid on the works on www.unbornartists.com. The exhibition will soon be displayed in the gallery of Isabelle de Borchgrave.

SOS children’s villages also provides do-it-yourself-packs for mothers who want to make an artwork with their unborn baby, at home. They can use it to decorate the baby’s room or even use the artwork as a birthcard. The do-it-yourself packs are being sold online, in hospitalshops and at several gynaecology practices.

55DSL Spring/Summer 2012 Male | Lookbook

 

What do you get when you cross Caribbean attitude with Magnum P.I.? Caribbean P.I.! So ditch that lame Hawaiian shirt, slap on your aviators and grow in your ‘stache because the 55DSL S/S12 male’s collection is about to take you a stylish beach adventure. It’s irie, mon.

Colour is the main story this season. Colorful or just one colour, rather, as we focus on sun-bleached hues light as the sea breeze, with washed out graphics and faded prints. The look is relaxed, easy and just a little bit ironic — stripes, Caribbean-inspired prints, large checks and graphics.

The next exhibition at The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium has the objective to present the early creative efforts of Stanley Kubrick, one of the leading filmmakers of the 20th century. Kubrick was interested in all aspects of human experience. He explored the entire range of cinematographic possibilities to express how human violence can transform an individual to such an extent that he or she is reduced to a mask.
With the Kubrick exhibition, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium invites visitors on a discovery of the relation of American society to photography.

Sigur Rós Valtari - New album released on 28th May

Sigur Rós - Ekki múkk from Sigur Rós on Vimeo.

Sigur Rós will return with their sixth studio album, Valtari, on 28th May.  The first track from Valtari, entitled ‘Ekki Múkk’, is now streaming on the band’s website – www.sigurros.com.  Valtari will be released on double LP, CD and digital download.  Valtari is Sigur Rós’s first studio album since 2008’s acclaimed Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, marking the end of their indefinite hiatus. It is either the album they always wanted to make, or the album they almost didn’t make, depending on how you look at it. 

Taken together, the eight songs on this 54-minute album feel like an alternative musical path the band didn’t take after 2002’s untitled ( ) album.  Frequently bereft of formal structures, and for large stretches of time more atmospheres than songs, the work – which the band have described as sounding “like an avalanche in slow motion” – offers a counterpoint to Sigur Rós’s steady yet unconscious migration towards public acceptance (either via ‘sound-bed’ ubiquity or use as emotional shorthand in this or that movie.)

Sigur Rós are: Jón Þór Birgisson (vocals, guitar), Georg Holm (bass), Kjartan Sveinsson (keyboards/piano), Orri Páll Dýrason (drums). Valtari was recorded by the band at Sundlaugin Studio, Mosfellbaer, Iceland

Valtari track listing:

    •     Ég anda.                           
    •     Ekki múkk.                        
    •     Varúð.                               
    •     Rembihnútur.                    
    •     Dauðalogn.                       
    •     Varðeldur.                         
    •     Valtari.                              
    •     Fjögur píanó.

Dose of music: Willow – We the young

Today I'm going to talk about a discovery I made and I'm very proud of. 
The band is called « Willow » and is simply the best Belgian band I heard  for a while !
I'm listening to tons of sounds every week, and well I often fall on some « great » bands. But to be honest, many of those great bands are already forgotten the next week.
But once in a while, there's  that one band I'm pretty sure I'll still be listening to months from that moment !  Jackpot !



So why is Willow that awesome ? Because firstly they don't sound « belgian ». Not that I don't like belgian sounds, but it's clearly often « too recognizable ». When I heard « We the young » for the first time I just told myself « My gosh what a splendid new british band » !
Seriously after now numerous listenings I can't stop myself thinking that these guys are some kind of « White Lies with guts ! ». And I'm fond of White Lies !

Sincerely the opening title « Gold », is what it says ! Golden ! Punchy, catchy, sunny, whatever, awesome ! And the big surprise, the rest of the LP is nearly as good.
And nearly as good is already way above 80% of the other bands releasings !
There are several real pop jewels on this record, so it would be a crime to forget mentionning « Weeping giants » , «We walk alone » or « Two children ».


My last words will be in french because I think it sounds so much better : Ces gars, c'est vraiment mon coup de coeur du moment !
