Brothers are your family, your people. In one sense or another, we want this new, free magazine to be just that. A close, intimate, trustworthy documentation of visual culture influenced by today’s trends. No more should exclusivity and intimidation surround the vast spectrum of visual design, rather a brotherly curated selection of culture now should prevail.

In our world of revolutions and evolutions, we want to contribute by delivering to you a new multi-dimensional evolution of the blog, born to establish a new approach towards visual inspiration.

www.brothersmag.com

Together with presenting to you a spectrum of our finds, each quarterly issue also curates a powerful pairings of artists to produce creations that would otherwise go unfound. We aim to instigatea collaborative dialogue among uncommonly paired creative industries. We present to you one pair of creative pioneers in every magazine and hope that each brotherly union will be the beginning of its own creative thread in the vast community of artists that might otherwise never meet.

We embarked on an exciting mission to survey the wide spectrum of visual culture, to distill from it an exclusive selection of artists, their products and the places that inspire them. As your curatorial team, we hope that our diverse backgrounds bring together a unique glance into a selection of art, inspiration, and relationships within visual culture that we hope you enjoy.

After a Maria Luisa pop-up store in the well-known Parisian department store Printemps department store together with a Wedding collection in the same surroundings and a period of intense collaboration with Ann Demeulemeester as well as Véronique Leroy, Véronique Branquinho and Axelle Red he recently decided to give another twist to his career by closing his shop and exploring the more artistical side of his personality while returning to his roots with a new showroom together with his workshop on Avenue Louise 437 at 1050 Brussels.

2014 might see him as designing costumes for an Opera, creating a table for San Pellegrino, or expanding his business in Shanghai and doing many other things (e-shop) while keeping open collaborations with his designer friends and creating hats for the Queen of Belgium.
