Crochet takes us back to traditional weaving techniques passed down from mothers to daughters for generations. To the wisdom of a world woven for centuries that is disappearing, though its legacy composed of craftsmanship, patience and respect for the natural rhythms of life help us design an improved reality thanks to those values. The abrupt disappearance of this generation of older women, the last weavers, is also the sunset of a world that disappears before our eyes. That is why Anna Barroca pays tribute to them, with a collection that recovers this technique to place it at the dawn of the avant-garde. Reality forces us to hide, to protect ourselves from others, with masks in an unfortunate carnival. However, in every tiny space, we find a place for freedom. The face is a piece of crochet through which we breathe and, though it obscures our gaze, it does not prevent us from freeing ourselves through hair, our expansive force, which, with the richness of its fibers, is the fabric of the soul. Tradition is a woven book that explains the world to us, and sometimes protects us from it. To understand it is to love it, and to love it, to preserve it. Hair is transformed into a sensitive tissue, which lies in the chiaroscuros to survive, from where it whispers to us that in ambiguity is its true essence: I am everything I want to be.

Men’s barbering brand, Reuzel has just dropped two new products on South African shores. The latest additions to the Reuzel repertoire will surely make sculpting styles a breeze. Both products are the go-to for gritty, textured looks: Think just-in from a breezy-bike ride or a day spent surfing the seas. And both add an ultra-cool, lived-in feel to your haircuts. Gentleman (and ladies) meet the newly launched Reuzel Clay Spray and Reuzel Fiber Cream. In short, the Clay Spray is similar to a wax and in a few sprays is easily applied, evenly distributed through the hair, and gives hair a worn-in texture. The Fiber Cream is also a go-to for texture but with the benefit that it is pliable and adds volume. If you’re familiar with Reuzel you may want to skip to the product get down. If not, read why the brand has created a bit of a riot in many a barbershop. Reuzel, started by Schorem Barbers Leen and Bertus, is probably the men’s grooming line for what’s referred to as a Gentleman Scumbag – a top-class man influenced by rock n roll, Kustom culture, and a working-class ethic. A man that finds himself resonating with- or is a part of an expressive sub-culture that is evident in his swag, his style, and his attitude. Don’t mistake this man as an absolute scumbag – this is a man with taste – he just doesn’t allow pop culture to dictate it. He’s probably found a fit with other scumbags - a group of previously known ‘misfits’-; greasers, psychobillies, rockers, and ruffians. This type of man needs grooming products that allow him to express himself and his unique style in the best way. And barbers and stylists need something that accentuates their client’s swag and their own creative flair. Reuzel’s line-up is just that: A range of men’s products suited to both barber and client that boosts custom cuts and allows hair to be worn in a classic fashion or one that’s little more rebellious. Now for the latest editions – texture products: one for a wilder style and one for the somewhat more contained. Reuzel Clay Spray A light hold, no shine, water-soluble styling product. The Reuzel Clay Spray adds texture, thickness, and definition that leaves hair with a matte finish and light hold. The Spray helps achieve a dry, gritty, lived-in look. It also controls frizz, adds thickness and volume, and works well on all hair types. Spray the Clay Spray into hair when you blowdry or on top of any Reuzel pomade or styling product. For a more natural look use on its own and spray into towel-dried hair or dry hair and style as desired. Ingredients Reuzel’s signature T-4 Tonic Blend: • Witch hazel extract - natural astringent • Nettle Leaf Extract - thickening • Rosemary - moisturising • Horse Tail Root - Strengthening Scumbassador Tip: Apply the Clay Spray on damp hair, blowdry and style as desired. Layer the Clay Matte Pomade over the top for a more defined texture. Reuzel Fibre Cream The Fiber Cream is a product with medium, pliable hold, low shine, and is water soluble. Use it to add thickness, fullness, and texture to styles. It’s pliable/flexible hold is easy to rework hair after styling and it works well on short to medium length hair. It also has a subtle sugary-rum fragrance. Apply the Reuzel Fiber Cream liberally to damp hair or to lightly dried hair and style as desired. Let hair air dry naturally if applied to damp hair. Ingredients Reuzel’s signature T-4 Tonic Blend: • Witch hazel extract - natural astringent • Nettle Leaf Extract - thickening • Rosemary - moisturising • Horse Tail Root - Strengthening Scumbassador tip Apply the Fiber Cream on damp hair and style as desired. Layer the Fiber Pomade over the top for a more defined texture. Want to stock the latest from Reuzel? Contact your Sales Rep for exclusive launch deals. Not a part of the Reuzel family?

With their love of classic barbering and the influences of Rock ’n Roll, Kustom-Kulture and its subcultures, it was inevitable that one day Leen and Bertus would open Schorem Haarsnijder en Barbier, an old-school, men’s only barbershop in the heart of Rotterdam, Netherlands. With more than 50 years of barbering and grooming experience, these barbers formulated pomades worthy of their exacting standards. They dug deep into the history of pomades to formulate Reuzel, believed to be the world’s finest pomade. Reuzel is the Dutch word for lard and is merely a wink to the past when pomades were made from animal fats and fragranced with apple. Reuzel products do not contain animal fats. Create classic and modern styles favoured by greasers, psychobilly’s, rockers, and other fine gentlemen with Reuzel grooming and styling products – from shampoo, to blow-dry, to finish.

Malak explores the rich hues of the blue of the sky and the sea from Málaga, an object of calm to those who observe it. The protagonists are young millennials, whose connecting link is the waves of curly hair in its different variants, even more with the curved geometries that are drawn on their face. The result are volumes and waves that welcome those who look at them, surprising and at the same time soft shapes that reflect a landscape that reaches out through a calm and lively gaze, rich profiles of Mediterranean essence.
