Out now: COLORS 80

COLORS 80



The magazine "that talks about the rest of the world" blends words with pictures in a completely illustrated edition. The eightieth issue of COLORS celebrates the superheroes of our day: men and women, weak or strong, rich or poor, all united by a common wish: the good of people and of the world. "Real people" who do extraordinary things for others, and who, in different ways, contribute to improving society.

For this issue COLORS has met some real-life superheroes, who face the baddies of our everyday world with courage and self-sacrifice: the damaged caused by the collapse of economies and by rampant pollution, the destruction caused by wars, the poverty of ignorance and antrocities.

COLORS 80 is for sale at newsagents, bookshops and in the App Store in four bilingual editions (English, French, Spanish or Korean).

HOWEVER.. IT ALL STARTED WITH A FLORAL PATTERN

Blue Lodge the name of Daisy Kroon´s latest collection for Spring/Summer 2011. Inspiration for this collection was the fabric with the floral pattern. Daisy: "I found the print extravagant, certainly not beautiful, yet it became the starting point for my collection".

Her inspiration not only came from the floral pattern but Twin Peaks, a TV-series from the 90s by David Lynch, played a big roll as well. She was also reading Virginia Woolf, add to this the music of Angelo Badalamenti and a spherical, somewhat obscure location. But it could also been her hollidays to Sweden, where she swam in the lake wearing yellow 70s bathing suits. This bathing suit is also in the collection other eyecatchers are a lovely purple dress with big pockets, thight rust-brown trousers and a pair of bermudas that is slim at the waist and flare at the hip.
