This specific mood and aesthetics of theirs is not set up by some stylist in an empty studio. The &Other Stories headquarters look exactly like their campaigns, shops and online store; the concrete floors throughout are recognizable from the uniform way they photograph their products and there are traces (in the form of silver balloons clinging to the ceiling) of photoshoots that took place in the office space. The headquarters consist of two large floors with desks and computers on the sides and all kinds of experimenting tables down the middle; on which tests with paint are being done, moodboards are arranged, new beauty products are being tested, and developing products are being displayed. There is literally creativity everywhere you look.

Last month Romeo and I were invited into the Stockholm ateliers to participate in their co-creatives project. Along with a group of other creatives from all different fields(DJ's, editors, artists, models, film makers), we were asked to dress ourselves with their clothes and document it with a polaroid camera. The end product is a bunch of raw images; unedited, hard to plan, hard to do over; just reflections of reality with all its imperfections.

Though the company is part of the gigantic H&M group, what impressed me most was their autonomous way of working, how they created their own little world and that there is a group of genuinely cool people behind it all. Thank you &Other Stories for having us, you know we had a lot of fun shooting these polaroids.

Het ziet er echt geweldig uit! Die polaroids geven ook een fijn effect, tenminste niet zo 'perfect'.

Coming into the new year and this year remains the same but in the past, there was no bear, still not having an affair ... It was cold nor by the cold cold heart, because my God, why everyone has seen double that his pair I still alone?

BITCOIN, BINARY OPTION: i am one of the Victims. At first, the software seemed to be really professional and authentic. I found many favorable reviews about its performance and delivered results. So, I decided to invest in it and try to achieve success in the online trading sphere. Soon, I realized that the software was swallowing all my investments. Brokers are nothing more than a dangerous and fraudulent platform. I invested over $ 140,000 and couldn't withdraw my money, months passed and still nothing. So, God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their funds. I contacted the email provided for consultation,   I got feedback after some hours and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay,  to my greatest surprise, I have been able to recover $ 100,000 and the remaining $ 40,000 is in progress. I really can't tell how happy I am. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back, you can as well hire him today by Email: ( info@wizardcharlesgrouphackers.com  )
