Simon de Boer (multi talented baker/designer/artist), has become a cult favourite with his bearded appearances and his delicious clafoutis. A clafoutis is an authentic French pie and is the most well-known version of the traditional puffed French custard cake. In France, it is customary to serve clafouti with cherry pits intact. For ease at the table, and to ensure dental safety, make sure to pit the cherries or read the safety warnings from Bakker Baard himself when he comes by on his bicycle. Clafouti tastes like flan, wafels or crepes and is made of vanillia, milk, butter, egg, flour, a pinch of salt and some sugar. Nothing beats a fresh clafoutis straight out of the oven with a big spoon of crème fraiche and a snowie blanket of icing sugar.

You can find Bakker Baard’s café Bouillon B. Baard on Saturdays and Sundays at the Westergasfabriek, Pazzanistraat 11, Westergasfabriek (across Het Ketelhuis).

Givenchy Fall Winter 2011 Advertising Campaign

Givenchy unleashed their Fall/Winter 2011-12 ad campaign by photography duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. The ads feature Jonathan Marquez, Rob Evans, Natalia Vodianova, Mariacarla Boscono, Naomi Campbell and Kristen McMenamy– styled by Carine Roitfeld & Panos Yiapanis.

Here’s a new mini-film from Day ‘n Night rapper Kid Cudi, titiled Mr Rager. He collaborated with Surface To Air for the video, and it was directed by Jérémie Rozan.

This alternative art-house was established around the 90´s in the ruins of a former department store / warehouse formerly used by the Nazis, DDR union organizers and cinema enthusiasts. Still noticeably a ruin, it is simultaneously a vibrant, living home for the arts. The building contains ateliers and workshops, a nightclub, and a cinema.

Although Tacheles continues to represent the changes endured by the city after the fall of the Wall, they still faces the threat of closure and at this very moment it is still not clear what will happen with the artists.

Soho House Berlin

Located in the fashionable Mitte District, Soho House Berlin is the newest outpost of this global private members club. Soho House was founded in London, in 1995, as a private members’ club for those in film, media and creative industries. With hotels spanning across the UK, Europe and the US, Berlins Soho House is set over eight floors of a restored Bauhaus building in the Mitte district, Soho House Berlin includes a full Cowshed Spa and gym, a rooftop pool, restaurants, bars, a screening room and a private dining area as well as 40 comfortable bedrooms.

Originally opened in 1928 as a department store, the property was seized by the wartime government before being occupied by the post-war, Communist regime until 1956. It was then used to house the Communist Party archives and the Central Committee’s Historical Institution. After German reunification the building was legally returned to the descendents of its original owners.

If you are not a Soho House member but you know someone who knows someone : don’t forget to visit the 8th floor and take a dip in the pool or enjoy the amazing view!

For this collection, Johansson was looking for a fresh energy; he took his inspiration from that time in life when there are only possibilities. Although full of life-changing decisions, you are loaded with confidence, naive but certain you are going to make it happen. What of course you will.

Acne made this collection a more sartorial one, with double-breasted jackets worn with wool pants, short varsity-inspired sweatshirts worn over long shirts and suits worn over Shetland collegiate sweaters. It is still a casual look, but a bit more polished and cleaner.
