And the once boring souvenir t-shirts were added touches of the new trend.
(Did anyone here say “boring”?)
Fluo is the new black (pt. 1) July 23, 2009
SinK‘s back from an European summer tour loaded with pictures and news about what’s HOT and what’s NOT at the old continent. You’re the lucky ones because we got LOTS, LOTS and LOTS of cool stuff . And we’re desperate to share, kids.
To kick off, let’s talk about fashion.
The hottest trend for this summer is undoubtely the FLUO thing. Looking back at the ravers from the 80′s, cheering up this dull momentum, the bright colours are the face of the sunny season.
Everything is fluo, every shop is selling fluo, everyone’s wearing at least one single piece of glowing stuff. It’s cool, it’s fun, it’s irreverent. Dare to wear!

Bavarian folk July 8, 2009
One more exclusive treat to the visual merchandising lovers out there: a chic and stylish folk window in Munich, Germany, totally inspired in the Bavarian traditions of the region. It’s interesting to see how the girls can actually wear those pieces of clothing in their everyday life. We love it because it’s feminine, original and patriotic.
We’re here, there, everywhere…
Fun in the sun June 30, 2009
FUN, FUN, FUN is the trend also for sunglasses. Forget those boring black monochromatic frames and go for cheap-and-chic red, green, white, yellow, purple, funny ones. See how the coolest party people from Barcelona and London wear the shades we’re talking about and definitely give ‘em a go! Don’t forget to smile, because atittude counts, hum?!

What a Grace June 24, 2009
And Grace Jones, 60, is triumphantly back. Main attraction of Sónar Night (pics below), one of the headliners at We Love Space in Ibiza this summer. But… has she ever gone away?

Dear God June 7, 2009
“Dear Life Spirit,Who am I? What was I put on this earth to achieve? I ask these questions only because I’ve been trying to find an identity. For years I think I’ve been living life like a kind of machine. I work for a big corporation and I’m not close to my family. I have a wife but no children and, I’m ashamed to say, I don’t want them but don’t have the guts to tell her. Why am I living this life like a sleepwalker – a job I don’t like, a wife I don’t really love? I never talk about my true feelings like this with anyone. But this feels good. I’m glad I’ve done it.”
Dave Stewart, Arkansas
What you’ve just read is a testimonial at DEAR GOD web, a startlingly new concept of spirituality where people from all over the planet reveal their innermost hopes and fears in the form of prayers to God.
Praying is cool! It’s scientifically proven that the ones who pray are healthier, stronger and much happier. Sharing problems is a way to see things clear but the thing about this web is the subtle combination of comedy and tragedy that gives Dear God a perfect balance.
The feedback is given by people from all religions and different points of view in a very respective way. The administrator chooses a picture to illustrate each confession published.
The layout is nice, the post titles are great and, most of all, the pictures are amazing!

Adidas House Party… picture time! May 11, 2009
And there we were again, trying to freeze up smiles and jumps and yells and people’s soul. Tough task, but here you have them, our very own pictures, a little different from The Cobra Snake’s, Adidas’ official photographer. “Crazy Curitiba”, he named his album. Why? Maybe because we can feel winds of change blowing in the air. It’s a reason to celebrate.
The images that follow are all about NICE PEOPLE, because they defined the spirit of this crazy party. Smiley faces all around!
Hope you’ve enjoyed just as we have!
Sónar 2009 goes back to basics April 17, 2009
If you’re reading this post right now, blame Sónar. The Festival Internacional de Música Avanzada y Arte Multimedia de Barcelona was the birthplace of what is today Soma in Kinderland. Viva el Sónar!!! It’s our favourite festival of all and not only for that. Those who’ve been, know it’s unique in all conceptions. The inspiration for this year’s edition is snow and surrealism. The line up is more electronic than ever, with recent announced master Carl Craig, classic Orbital making a comeback, Deadmau5, Jeff Mills, Erol Alkan and Grace Jones, herself, to name but a few. A space for kids, SónarKids, makes its début, as attendees to the festival over the past 16 years have grown and reproduced. We saw lots of kids last year and the year before during Sónar de Día at MACBA.
According to our Italian mates who make it all happen, the kids attraction will include renowned Spanish and international artists who will adapt their styles to their younger audience, with numerous activities to awaken and stimulate their creativity. SónarKids is designed for children to learn by enjoying music and art in a way that they probably haven’t done yet. Sónar has taken its audience into account, and will be using a sound system suitable for children’s hearing, as well as installing a range of facilities (play area, picnic area, bar) so that both parents and children can rest and enjoy the SónarKids experience in full comfort.
And the circuit off-Sónar is already shaping up. More info coming up, kids. Meanwhile, check Sink‘s very first post (and one of our fave, we must admit) on Sónar 2008.
