Sleeves Magazine September 2016 | Page 5

Letter from the Editor Dear readers, We begin our sixth issue with the best brand for the upcoming Oktoberfest, GOTTSEIDANK. I remember buying the vest back in 2013 at Stierblut Shop in Munich that I immediately fell in love with the elegant cut and handsome design. Tamino Baumann, the cover boy and the model represented by Merryquant Agency, was chosen to wear the typical bavarian wear. Jörg Hittenkofer, the owner of the label, was so generous to lend us the garments. Thank you, Jörg. Now I can be proud I again managed to create the best shots for the two hour shooting we had at Jörg's atelier on the Schleiheimerstrasse. Tamino is the right model for Gottseidank, commented Jörg during our shooting. Thanks also to Claudia, the stylist, who helped Tamino with the fitting. Sleeves Magazine is becoming more and more not just for boys but for girls as well and Black Eyewear Spring Summer 2017 Collection and AEVHA London are the first women's accessories to be showcased in this issue. The founder of Black Eyewear, Richard Roope, a life long jazz fan, was inspired by the styles of the 1950's which make his glasses and sunglasses look vintage. And for bag lovers, dear girl readers, you will love AEVHA designed by Alice Horlick. The initials stand for Alice Emma Victoria Horlick Accessories London. Boys, we have menswear OLIVER SPENCER for you. I am sure everyone is familiar with the brand which sells to over 151 stores worldwide. A new section is added which I call it "Travel Insight". Since most of us from the fashion industry travel a lot, offering you some insights into the best hotels would be a good treat. The PR agency, Design Hotels, provides me access to the materials I will be needing from time to time for the publication. Oh do not miss my interview (on "How To Approach A Girl") with Anton, Merryquant Agency's model known for his perfect face. He was our cover boy for the June issue. He had already his first model experience with Unlimited Fashion. Special thanks too to PR Surgery Group from Oliver Spencer, Gordon Ritchie from Black Eyewear and Storm O'Brien from AEVHA. Enjoy reading! And please send us your comments. Cheers, Joel Jose Emilio (Joel) de Veyra Sleeves Magazine
