MEET MISS RUBY TUESDAY

Meet Ruby Tuesday & Miss Ruby Tuesday

Spreading its love since 2011, Ruby Tuesday is a fresh concept label based in the Netherlands. While it still has a young presence on the fashion scene, Ruby Tuesday brings forth an authentic, yet accessible look, which can be best transcribed as effortlessly chic and transparently timeless.
After the big succes of the women's collection with it's iconic basics Ruby Tuesday decided to launch a small collection of fine pieces for the little ones.

The people behind the brand are amazingly cool, kind and slow moment lovers, they know the drill since they got a full house of girls themselves!

Ruby Tuesday will be in our store from Oct '12, Miss Ruby Tuesday from Jan '15!

GORGEOUS GREY

Gorgeous Grey

Grey is the most versatile and complex of colours, you can create any mood with the right shade of grey, from the palest silver to the darkest midnight.
We love the softest grey from cool to warm to give a light sophisticated feeling to a room or exterior. Or dark and moody, envelope yourself and create drama.
Our grey's are different, they are created with natural pigments which reflect light in a different way making beautiful natural warm greys.

We love the softest grey from cool to warm to give a light sophisticated feeling. Or dark and moody...envelope yourself and create drama.

YES we're going to meet the creatives behind our natural paint brand this weekend, proud and big smiles. Welcome BAUWERK COLOUR to our cool brands gang, our slow store, welcome in NL!

SLOW ART MUZE

This year we will open our slow store Brands Unxpctd. Part of our philosophy is slow Art. To keep ourselves calm and pay attention to our sixth sense we have to slow down sometimes... 

Work of Leoniek Bontje

Et Dieu… crea la femme (film uit 1956 van Roger Vadim met Brigitte Bardot)
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. (Chief Seattle)
In most works of Leoniek Bontje (Purmerend, 24-12-1969), you see women. Women who look tempting and self assured, like Brigitte Bardot in Et Dieu… Crea la Femme. These women look strong, beautiful and lovely. They are made of threads, so they are also vulnarable and changable.
The threads are like the lines of a drawing. But they are also symbol of ‘the web of life’. They represent the way of life, the relationships and connection between people. “For me, the threads represent the desire to be together, the connection between people. The threads can capture you, but they can also guide you like they guided Ariadne out of the Labyrinth, says Leoniek Bontje. “The threads tight you down and by cutting they give loose ends, so they also represent life lines for me”.
Leoniek Bontje studied Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and graduated in 2008. She showed her work in different places and galeries. 

 

We are thrilled to welcome Leoniek Bontje in our slow store and represent her work beautiful Art works.

MASTERCLASS STYLISM

Hiiii!

When Lau, founder of Joyeuse Clique invited me to give the first stylism masterclass at La Maison Pernoise I had one simple idea. 

Create a masterclass STYLISM which people love.

The result is a unique experience...thank you Lau, Leo, Ilaria.

Thank you talented, inspiring, participating women in bussines.
You all posted amazing positive posts about my first stylism masterclass abroad.

I have met inspiring women in all of you and each of you gave me something beautiful in return!

Because of you I do what I love with people I love.

Love

Anouk 

LOOK DEEPLY

POWER HOUSE

Powerhouse! This 5 year old Amsterdam Appartement project and very hard work before and after that was the beginning of overwhelming new projects for AnoukB Today! Happy in business! 

Let us create new things and we're in heaven!

Stay tuned. Be connected. New thins coming soon.

CREATIVITY WITHOUT BORDERS

To develop new ideas we often go outside, meet new people and different walks of life.
Visiting inspiring places, but also walk around in the neighborhood, nourishes our creative brains with new flavors.

Our new office-studio in the centre of Amsterdam is our perfect place, our hide away in the city where small 'around the corner' ideas become relevant ideas for our clients.

I think we may say, we are a small company with big ideas, for small and big clients.

Creativity without borders...

BRANDS SPOTLIGHT

Entrepeneurs tend to have a passion and a vision about the direction they see their company going. But what does that mean and where to start? We think it’s easiest to break with the insiders eye and welcome the outsider. Creating (new) brand rules and redesign will sure help you to find your signature and brand identity.

HELLO I'M LOCAL

We had the pleasure to have a photoshoot at The most local Boutique Hostel in the world and it was a pleasure!

This Hostel, beautiful through simplicity, is that place where people connect in the lobby, relax, work, read a book or do nothing but drinking a Latte macchiato (or vino :-) and blablabla the day away... Located in a small, peaceful street in the centre of Haarlem, close to Amsterdam and the beach (30 minutes healthy bike tour or slow down by train) this is the place to stay. With family, for lovers or alone. Searching for pleasure? You can find it all here.

SPRING NEW SEASON IS IN THE AIR!

THE STORIES YOU SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS,
THE MOMENTS YOU FEEL ALIVE,
THE SPECIAL THINGS YOU REMEMBER.
EACH ONE OF THEM YOU CARRY WITH YOU.
TOGETHER THEY MAKE UP YOUR LIFE
REMARKABLE, PERSONAL, FUN.

EVERY SEASON I SHARE MINE.
SNAPSHOTS OF MY LIFE.
A COLLECTION OF MOMENTS.

WELCOME TO ANECDOTE.
NOT HIGH-FASHION CATWALK STUFF,
BUT GREAT ESSENTIALS.
THE KIND THAT MY FRIENDS AND I WANT TO WEAR EVERY DAY.
NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.

POWER UNLIMITED

To create new horizons AnoukB is part of a stylism event in France THURSDAY 3rd and FRIDAY 4th, APRIL 2014!

Lau Dejente, founder and creative director of concept store Maison Pernoise, and Ilaria Fatone, Art Historian, invited me to colaborate and feed the minds of co-creators with 2 stylism classes. 

For me, photo stylism is a very exciting discipline. The way information is imparted, the things you choose to put in or leave out. It's all part of this 'game' we call storytelling.

I am lucky to be working with unlimited creatives who find new stories through good looking. 

As always I am interested in the expressions of others and I am sure this is a space for all of us to unfold new horizons and my desire to establish stylism evolution is hopefully coming true.

We all have a story to tell, it's the puzzle that needs to come together to tell that story.
