Blend International Magazine #4

The new issue of Blend Magazine is out and has hit the stands world-wide. The issue holds 50+ pages of Maison Martin Margiela archive, a gorgeous profile on the super-talented Iris van Herpen and my shoot above. Adding, it holds mucho more of course, but that's for yourself to find out.

Yesterday we had the most amazing Christmas Dinner with the team - I'm still stuffed - but besides that we also made plans for the next year and all I can say - adding to all that's coming with Mykromag - it's going to be one of those magazine you need to keep an eye on. And I suggest you all start by checking out the current issue, ha.





Mucho love,
Sonny

no more facebook.

After posting the photos in the previous post (see below) to Facebook I received a message that one of the photos crossed their Terms and will be deleted. Two minutes later my whole account was deleted, or well.. disabled.

It's the second day without Facebook and even-though I missed a meeting yesterday-eve and couldn't meet up with friends from out of town, it kinda made me aware of how much we all rely on this online community. My Facebook Inbox is more important then my Gmail or Mykromag Inbox is and my Photo-Albums are more valuable then I figured they were as they capture memories and moments with certain comments that are un-replacable.


Of course, I had close to 5000 friends, which certainly weren't all real real friends, but Facebook isn't just a friends-thing only, it became an image-controlling-something, a way for me to show who I am, what I do, what I'm going to do, with who I'm doing to do things or did things, etc. Facebook made it more easy to put my name out there or get in touch with many others.

So what to do now? I've send out three email and read 20 pages online on people who are disabled as well. There are even groups of people coming together to fight the disable thing on Facebook; people who are disabled for a silly reason and without a second warn or explanation, disabled.


I would love to get my page back, but if it doesn't happen I'm not sure if I will open a new one. I makes me think: What's the thing after Facebook?

From the age of 12 I've had profiles and I'm pretty sure Facebook isn't going to be the last one. In a way, we all kinda left Myspace for what it is as well, right? So for now, no Facebook. Maybe I'll be back before the New Year, maybe I will never be back. All I can say right now: TWITTER.COM/SONNYGROO

candy magazine issue two.

CANDY MAGAZINE ISSUE TWO

For the second issue of Candy I was asked to style two stories. One with my dear friend Jean-Paul Paula, adding the amazing photographers duo Anuschka Blommers and Niels Schumm. The clothes came from Viktor & Rolf and Grace Jones was on the google-roll. The second one was with Edward Vigiletti in New York adding Marcelo Krasilcic behind the camera. Lady Gaga inspired, but a bit more naked/nude. The clothes came from my favorite young designers shipped from Los Angeles, Montreal and you name it where.

I'm pretty sure all the issues are sold out - which isn't that hard as the issue is truly one of the most kicking-ass ones I've seen this year - and guessing many of you have seen the images by now, but figured it would be nice to show you my favorite ones without any lay-out, adding: backstage snaps! Thank you Luis - once more - and on to the next one! x

mykromag in print!

It took us a while, but after a couple of issues online, 3 exhibitions and lots of traveling we are proud to release our very first issue in print!

The black version holds the editorials and photo-shoots, including features on inspiring names such as Andrew Mukamal, Charles Guislain, David Koma and many others. The white version shows you 30+ portraits of who we believe are part of the new generation.
