The Squid stories: B.L.C.K is there to stay_a life inspiration story

B.L.C.K is there to stay_a life inspiration story

Some people are natural born retailers. They feel the 'zeit-geist' in lifestyle stuff (fashion, design, accessoiries) and most of all, they just A.C.T.!

Christophe Urbain is one of those real 'entrepreneurs' who just think and act at the same time.

Result (this month): a brand new store 'breeded' in the cellar of his (third) store Rewind Men, opened last week for the press and 'the Ghent-scene'.

B.L.C.K.

Fashion freaks know: black is always good but is back as never before.

Black makes it possible to focus on pure shape instead of color and that is fascinating and liberating at the same time.

What to expect? Only black stuff: fashion, objects, furniture, scents.

Labels? DRKSHDW en Lilies collecties of Rick Owens, Avelon, The Last Conspiracy, A.Friend by A.F. Vandevorst, V Ave Shoe Repair, Konceptkramer, Private 0204, Byredo, Nmbr 9, Nico Uytterhaegen and Werkstatt München.

Beware: not everything is delivered yet, but hey, we're very happy to pop by once in a while to check out new arrivals!

Love the shop, love the energy of new retail stories in Ghent and love the people who keep on surprising us.

Chrisophe*, G.O.O.D. L.U.C.K.!!

*You could remember Christophe from previous retail concepts. I wrote about another store HumØr he started some time ago. Check out blogpost http://thesquidstories.blogspot.be/2012/11/humr-op-zn-gents-life-inspiration-day.html

Hi, my name is Kate Stockman.

I am an creative, intuitive thinker & trend forecaster who believes in cross-disciplinary solutions.
I have a passion for future brand development, fashion, art and powerful through-the-line-communication.

I always had multiple sensors, ‘aerials’ or ‘antennas’ as I call them, to feel what’s going on in the world, what is coming and why.
From fashion, over design, food, modern art, communication to psychology, nightlife and science connected with nature. It always felt natural.

That’s why I founded my own creative trend company and this blog.

Enjoy.

The Squid Stories is an interdisciplinary blog magazine focusing on the interaction between design, art, fashion, shops, travel, communication and developments in consumer behaviour.

If I look at art, fashion, design and food trends, all signs direct in the same direction. We are restoring society with all the means we have.
That’s the good news.

The Squid Stories tries to catch urban and rural vibes on contemporary culture that surrounds us.
Founded in 2010, the blog started as a diary/playground/time capsule to document my inspiration-filled days and took a next step in 2014 towards Kate’s weekly report on contemporary culture.

DISCLAIMER

As my roots lie in photography, most of the pictures of this blog are my own. I’ve always been a true Nikon lover, so all photographs are taken with the beautiful white Nikon J1 or with my professional Nikon D80. Off course, being an ‘Instagramer’ of the first hour, my I-phone also serves frequently as a third black box.

Besides that, The Squid Stories carefully selects images and adds links to the original source, to give credit where credit is due. If you happen to come across an image with any missing information, please contact me to fix it.
