Catclub

It stormed that night. No wonder some pictures came out looking like they were taken in a zombie land, 28 days later when yet another flock of birds crashed into the sky and hundreds of dead starfish get washed ashore in North Wales. Then it all went glowing in rainbow colours. I’m no good party photographer…I’m no party photographer at all, but a visual exploration of one space transformed by a flood of primary colours was rather amusing. No pot of gold at the end of it though.

Looking forward to this absolutely gorgeous book to drop in mail. Ordered via Motto Berlin, so let’s see how quick these guys are.

the tiger sunday

Those are the Aspen Tigers, entertaining the Sunday afternoon crowd at Fontainas. I’m glad to have such lovelies to take pictures of.

Brico, here I come!



And I hope you have those Y-shaped splitters.

Guillaume Henry (Carven) @ Hunting and Collecting Brussels

Carven at Hunting and Collecting

So here’s another historic event and its ‘historic’ documentation. It was a full house at Hunting and Collecting, believe me! but somehow every time I take a picture it looks like I’ve been to a desolate island full of fashion treasures. Carven’s first season at Hunting and Collecting has been marked by a massive launch event and just as massive afterparty. Unfortunately I missed Guillaume Henry – the designer who has resurrected the old French label, but you can watch a small interview with him above.






This is probably irrelevant to the event, but I am glad to see Vanessa Aerts’ jewellery being sold here.

Later at Kafka the light has changed – what is usually pure and white turns all colourful and glittery – it was time for the afterparty! Excuse me for having a piss-poor knowledge of popular music as I can’t tell Prince from George Michael, but that’s what the De Jeunes Gens Modernes DJ set consisted of, queuing hit (so was I told) after hit. Many thanks to my fellow bloggers for a history lesson of the 80’s pop culture and an occasional but recurrent feeling that I was partying with the Dutch on a camping somewhere in south of France.

Next up were my feline darlings, Aspen Tigers, slamming one electro track after another. I couldn’t keep my feet from a merry shuffle on the dancefloor. Evidence – the blurry snapshots as the night grew older. All I can add is a massive round of applause to Aude and Niels and everyone else who made this lovely evening happen. The good thing is – we know they’ll do it again.


somewhere in Finland



Oh those Scandinavians! Every time I see yet another interior I’m amazed at their sense of proportion, colour combination, and simply effortless and cosy mish-mash of all things beautiful. I’m sure to rip off the kitchen idea to the tiniest detail in my new home. Graphic black vinyl sticker – genious!

I’m looking for a new home when thousands of people lost theirs. I didn’t want to post anything Japan-related lately, but the mentioning of it in the previous post made me once again run to the telly hoping the CNN will finally bring some good news. It will, it surely will, just hang on there, Japan.

À St. Médard

Welcome to an image-heavy post – a documentation of last Sunday visit to À St. Médard. If you are not familiar with this project, check their website www.a-st-medard.com, or come and check out the space next weekend, which will happily coincide with a stocksale of Kris Van Assche and Raf Simons past seasons’ collections – all at very attractive prices. I must stress that the event is by invitation only (and to get yours you must mail a request to thefabricsales@gmail.com), but it is well worth the trouble. Plus you can enjoy the tastiest Japanese brunch ever! All on Rue Haute 298C-300, here in BXL.

similarities

I better post them on here before the pictures of ceilings turn into a series of absurd snapshots of yet more absurd light installations. One from Cantine, one from Reservoir Shop.

Today I felt like I needed to breath the cold digital winter air…I felt that my current position in blogosphere was suffocating me…I took a ride out into the infinite snowy fields and filled my lungs anew…and I felt that I needed to share.

This is a more personal and honest part of what I do. I run an image blog ± (Various Sources) on Tumblr, write a good old fashion blog .origami mon ami since 2006, and since recently publish a fashion fanzine Various Sources. All Brussels-based, I’m no globe-trotter, although I do explore the Northern part of the Old Continent with immense pleasure.

I want to share what I think, see, like, wear, buy, want, make, do, visit, love, know, discover, find, lose, keep, get, give, take, share…
