Finally, back on the blog track again! Last weeks I have been traveling through the Netherlands to visit the graduations shows of Made at WDKA (Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam), Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in the Hague, The Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU), The Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, Fashion Transit 10 by the Amsterdam Fashion Institute (Amfi) and ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in Arnhem. Aim was to spot some winning examples of product design, fashion, photography, art and much more.
In between I made a short dynamic tour towards Berlin and it was refreshing to visit green fashion events/exhibitions like TheKey, GREEN Showroom and Berlinordik. It always is a relief to meet other participants of this global fashion awareness network and to share/re-connect your passion and ambition.

'The deeper meaning behind this blog goes back to my personal vision on the world: 'YOI:'
YOI: is based on the ‘bigger picture’ in which we are on our way to a more beautiful and balanced world wherein sustainable thinking, design, fashion, people and business will make the difference.
In terms of the massive and dramatic environmental/ economic crisis that we are facing, this change is absolutely needed.
Basically the essence of this ‘awareness movement’ takes place in the being and hearts of optimistic but critical thinking people.
To define this particular mind shift I gave this the name/brand ‘YOI:’ As it stands therefore, ‘We’ as human beings are in a conscious global transition.' by Annouk Post
