Dasha Gold captures the heart of a modern pioneer by Ryan Yoon for The GROUND Magazine. A love story that began at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, An Vandevorst & Filip Arickx are a team made in avant-garde heaven. A tale unlike I’ve ever heard, this couple has engaged in a, Conversation that has never ended. A.F. Vandevorst takes us on a trip through the abstract notions of the mind, with a mutual love based on the art of fashion. Stylist, Connie Berg, focuses on the ferocity of today’s female by embracing the nomadic, passionate, strong, tender and wise women of the world. Dramatic draping may be their signature, but it’s the swing in this chic tale that gets our attention. In-your-face beauty meant to beguile, (Makeup Artist) Aki Maekubo relies on the glow of Gold’s ethereal skin to define the power of her perfection. The arc of intensity matches wits, as magnetic forces build bonds, expressing a fierce formula of angelic aggression. Hairstylists, Hiro + Mari, lets the flame of the future fly free in this hardware of the neo-exotic. Story tellers at heart, this team reminds us that the essence of any vision comes from access to our humanity. Read Editorial by Ryan Yoon.
