  Once a month we photograph our community in or around our studio in Zurich. For our August Series we invited Carmen, a 70 year old model and true free spirit. While visiting our studio Carmen points out that all pieces are a must have “My motto - YVY EVERYDAY! Everything can be ingeniously combined under or over my beloved black cashmere turtleneck sweater and it always matches my entire wardrobe.”    As the outspoken aesthete she is, Carmen uses clothes to express herself. Her selection at YVY goes from everyday pieces such as the Buckle Belt and the UNI...

We look forward to meeting virtually and connecting at the intersection...

  On Saturday, the second day of our Gallery Takeover, you are a part of the installation in the form of your thoughts and emotions.

These fleeting sentences showcased in the gallery’s solitude will be accompanied by a spherical track by musician Angelo Repetto. Filmed by Marvin Hugentobler, in front of paintings by Marcel Gähler. We were deeply touched by your emotional, personal answers to our question. To feature all of them...
