THE BOYS REPORTER - curating art, design, stories, styles for cool boys (0-16) and their contemporary parents.

A four letter word is all you need to know:
It starts with a “Z” and ends with an “A”
…
Wild guess…

ZARA

WE LOOVVVVVEEEEEE
THEIR NEW AW15 CAMPAIGN

It’s all about the details…
The set with the wood and the denim-ish look-and-feel.
Flashlight which gives brightness
combined with the toned colors of the cool designs…

AWESOME!!!

We have a guess who shot this campaign but we’re not quite sure yet…
Google isn’t very helpful,
and the photographer’s agency is not showing it yet
as Zara Kids on IG either ; )

We show you only the boys…
since we think we have to stay focussssssed, haha!
Although you have to check the girls
(our very cool girls)

And owwwwww how much we LOVEEEEE this fall
brilliant color bomb…

Minimalistic in a way, but the combination with
camel, bordeaux/orange-ish, dark blue and denim
makes it all very classy.
Big wanna have for #ourdudes and #allthedudes

Bring it on…
cause with the strange weather in Amsterdam,
we can already wear it!
YAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!
…

Photography: we will update asap 😉

UPDATE August 28th, 2015:

It’s photographer Mark Shearwood!

It’s been a very crazy hectic year. Juggling between private life, work,
the kids and writing/photography…

Unfortunately I had to cancel Playtime Paris for the first time
to give me some air. It did…
Although I really missed catching up with the cool brands
and the lovely curators with their cool stores.

But that made it possible to pay a quick visit
to our local kids fair ‘de kleine fabriek’,
in our own city Amsterdam.
The entrance was awesome! It was like I walked into a
gigantic stationary/packaging-store.
Absolutely loved it!!!! A big surprise!
#entrance #kleinefabriek #SS16

I only had a few hours to walk through the fair. If so, I think strategic…
For sure start at the HTNK-booth.
Always new passionate designers, so very interesting for me.

But I really love that I’ve bumped into Alice of cool SWEARHOUSE,
straight away. It made my day…
Because we’re ‘tees & sweats addicts’, her brand suits us.
Her sweaters are the coolest. Made by hand, piece by piece.
Non-seasonal, we loooovveeee that!!!
[ssssstttt… you will hear from us… ; )
and if you have girls…
awesome new wannahave
#dresses and #pompom hairbands]

Next to her booth I’ve met MAKII,
founded by Idris and Mielo.
Two illustrators from Rotterdam.
They’ve designed postcards, posters etc.
But what I really loved were their gigantic coloring posters.
And yes we know some brands who also have this in their collections.
However, the idea behind this version is something I really like.
Besides the gigantic poster there are 5 invitations
you can send to your friends,
so you can color together on a rainy afternoon.
Or a nice idea for a birthdayparty maybe?
[Anyway, check it out!
Thanks to Kristi : )]

And my heart goes #BOOM
when I enter the always brilliant booth of IJMcolour.
First meet ‘positive vibes’ Simone, so lovely to meet!
And then… yeah I have to say (it’s sounds like I’m a groupie, haha),
but I admire the work of creative master Frank Visser.
ALWAYS INSPIRING, NEW, FRESH & SURPRISING.
How much I would love to work with them…
You will hear from them soon,
because they’re working on a new book
which I think will be a coffeetable-book…
A big wannahave!

And as ‘the cherry on the cake’,
when I walked out of the fair heading home…
Another #myheartgoesboom…
Achim Lippoth’s small selections
of his favourites of 40!!! issues
of his KIDS WEAR’ magazine.

I didn’t miss it [not only in Paris]… they came to me…
THANK YOU!
