Hello and welcome to Shine and Rise, a monthly newsletter catching up on the latest news at Voo, fashion, life and everything in between. Summer in Berlin is officially over and word on Oranienstrasse is, that Berliners aren’t mad about it. It seems like everyone is ready for cosy season - leather boots, long coats, slower days. People are yearning for cute countryside weekends with friends, more connection to like-minded people, no laptops, no drama (except the good kind), homemade food. | | | Hello and welcome to Shine and Rise, a monthly newsletter catching up on the latest news at Voo, fashion, life and everything in between. | | Summer in Berlin is officially over and word on Oranienstrasse is, that Berliners aren’t mad about it. It seems like everyone is ready for cosy season - leather boots, long coats, slower days. People are yearning for cute countryside weekends with friends, more connection to like-minded people, no laptops, no drama (except the good kind), homemade food. Fall is the season where creatives seem to reconnect to their essence, kind of like the day after a long night out (or second day, depending on your age if you know what we mean) where you shake off the hangover, take a deep breath and start fresh. Where the smell of fresh coffee also smells like new opportunities. Before we greet the next season and Fashion Week with three kisses on the cheek however, let‘s have some fun and look back at the past few weeks at Voo Store. Shine and Rise! | | Has August been iconic or is August just the month of icons? Four Leo birthdays at the Voo office! Nicole Kidman in Diesel and Y/Project! Louise Bourgeois at Gropius Bau! Our sales assistant Eren in Numéro Berlin wearing Cartier! Creative Assistant Javi lost a tooth while biting into a vegan energy ball! Head of Archive Marie had a crush on someone, organized a flat for them in a week and then found out said crush was married! As you can tell, the last month of summer has truly ended this season with a bang. And also a very good shoe moment at the creative team meeting. | | | | Is your fashion pulse high now? Are you sad because August and its iconic moments are over? Don’t be. The first days of September have been as exciting at Voo. For the release of the Nike x Ambush Air Adjust Force Sneaker we’ve been exploring the realms of music and movement with an editorial starring talents from our Berlin community and upcoming Berlin designers. On September 1st, we’ve been hosting Nike and so many of our talented community members - Luis Alberto Rodrigues, who shot Serena Williams for American Vogue (speaking of iconic), Dj and producer Bao-Tran Tran aka Mobilegirl, Designer Anna Santangelo (we visited her studio in August as well! Read here!) and many more - for a dinner served by Dalad and her fabulous team from Kin Dee. Then Yoon Ambush stopped by the store the day after! And then there was a party - but what happens at the party, stays at the party ;) | | | | Anyways, we hope you’ve had a good summer with lots of good memories, too. And we hope you continue to have an exciting fall, we certainly can’t wait to tell you about all the things we’re currently working on. Now - get cosy, get your coffee, chase new opportunities and shine and rise :) | | | | |
