That time we… Photographed boxers coming off the ring

A series of four portraits of Belgian boxers culled from our office hard-drive, and shot by Ghent-based photographer Sarah Eechaut.

Reading lips: the video

Reading lips: the video

Photographer duo Memymom shot our red album’s intriguing portfolio, something of an Agatha Christie plot with a Lynchesque twist. Little did we know that the ladies, mother Marilène Coolens and daughter Lisa De Boeck, also captured their Red Room on video. And were more than pleasantly surprised to find it in our inbox on a […]

Art: The snake farmer

Any artist’s main goal and driving force is creation. Creating life could be deemed the ultimate achievement. Sébastien Rien, a 27- year-old multidisciplinary artist who has been fascinated by reptiles and marine creatures for as long as he can remember, found a way to regroup his passion with his work as an artist. His current […]

Shoot or die

It would be fair to say that Lionel Samain got into photography by accident. He studied law, then decided to branch out into cinema instead (his first movie, a tribute to The Jazz Man, was selected for a number of festivals in both France and Belgium) before finally setting his sights on photography. And, even […]

Music: National hero

Located in a 10.000 sqm complex that is said to go back to the 11th century, L’Ancienne Belgique – or AB as it is also known – was a popular concert hall in the early 20th century. Often threatened with closure due to noise complaints from the neighbourhood, it underwent several renovations and even filed […]

Fashion: The prodigy

Talent is a peculiar thing. You cannot pinpoint where it comes from nor analyze why it moves us, but fashion is just like any other field: you simply know talent when you see it. Despite being in her early 20s and still figuring out how to launch her own label, Alexandra Verschueren has this unique […]

Culture: The scarlet letter

Bankrupt (2004) by Phillip Toledano – Twin Palms Publishers Bankrupt presents no foreword nor summary, its subject matter being quite self-explanatory. A handful of anonymous termination emails are featured as the only textual elements, eluding to the sense of incomprehension or disbelief their recipients might have felt upon first read. New York-based photographer Phillip Toledano […]

Kitsch, crimes & Ketchup

With Wes Craven‘s Scream 4 due for official cinema release in spring, avoiding slasher films has become quite the challenge. This was not always the case. In fact, slasher movies are more of a subcategory within horror films, verging onto caricature and exaggeration. Writer Vincent Dechamps The rules are simple and have yet to be […]

Fashion: Walter & Dirk

Fashion: Walter & Dirk

Walter Van Beirendonck and Dirk van Saene are a bit of an oddity in the fashion world. Think of them as the industry’s answer to Eddie and Patsy, Cagney and Lacey or Laurel and Hardy. Both men were part of the infamous Antwerp Six – which also included Dries Van Noten and Ann Demeulemeester – […]

Sustainable fashion: Believe the hype

As hot and trendy as it may be, sustainable fashion remains a divisive subject. Eco-evangelists believe it’s the only way forward, while others cannot help raise an eyebrow or two. We invited leading industry professionals and fashion insiders to Brussels to discuss the issues at stake. As we settled down in the cosy settings of […]

The temper trap

What sets your nerves on edge? The idiot who suddenly cuts into your lane? The stubborn printer that always breaks down when you most need it? Perhaps it’s the missing toothpaste cap? It’ll probably have you biting your knuckles, or elicit a four-letter word. If these trivial daily mishaps are likely to send you into […]

Fashion: Ada Zanditon’s Cryoflux (Fall/Winter 2011)

London-based Ada Zanditon rocked the fashion world when she unveiled her last collection during London Fashion Week. Entitled « The Cryoflux », it explored the darkly poetic idea of a frozen world in a strange state of flux. Dramatic shapes, beautiful fabrics and a strong aesthetic defined her outfits, as well as her ongoing commitment […]

Photography: fashion snapper Ismaël Moumin

With an eye for details, creative settings and pretty girls, it was only normal that we called upon Ismaël Moumin to shoot our upcoming Fashion Special showstoppers. The 26-year-old self-taught photographer, who graduated from the digital art department of Brussels’ Saint-Luc in 2003, worked as a retoucher for photographers such as Marc Lagrange and Jochen […]

Photography: mother and daughter duo Memymom

We first got acquainted with Memymom’s work a while ago and were instantly intrigued by their puzzling compositions. Lisa De Boeck and Marilène Coolens’ strange scenarios feature flesh, intertwined limbs and bodyparts that seem to spring out of nowhere, the result being at times dreamy, at others bone-chilling. For the red album (out 11th March), […]
