three industry professionals from diverse

spectrums of creative trades. United with a

unique vision, appreciation for artistry, and

innovation. We began to create what is now the

only concept publication of its kind, providing a

platform not only to unknown and known talent

advancements in how we create. We are not

only endorsing an aesthetic but encourage you

the reader to develop your own conclusions and

opinions. Although we are not your typical

Lifestyle Magazine, we believe we are relevant

to todays generation and what life may look like

in the near future.

manifest-.osmosis. zmss noun a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated one.

Mission Our aim is to exhibit creativity in the modern era, with rooted respect for traditional method. We would like to share not only the beauty of ingenuity; but inform our readers about the creative process as well as new advances in various creative fields. We strive for our readers to form their own opinions about environmentally friendly and socially responsible topics & practices.

The smosis publication is a celebration of individual ideals and culture. We aim to bring our readers closer to the people behind the products, food, designs, and music they love, whilst introducing them to creators on the rise. Our focus is not defined by what is trendy or cool now but rather focusing on what is approaching on the horizon, and those paving the way.

We aspire to grow our publication into a strong standing informative agency. We are a platform of informative content for our readers and advertising support for the companies, creators, and causes that work in conjunction with our vision. For small companies we offer not only consulting services but active promotion. Our identity is based on the belief that readers should not be fed an ideology but comparatively shown different thought spectrums from which they can develop their own opin-ions. Consumers in our day and age are known for buying for the sake of buying; we would like to create a resurgence of respect for well made and well thought products that support the great minds of today and artisanal production theories.

Description smosis pushes the boundaries of the ordinary.whilst the majority of the fashion industry is focused on the next five minutes, smosis brings you the latest developments in FashionTech, culture, and design. With the waters of Fashion and trend flowing like river rapids, we have developed a publica-tion catering to those with a strong respect for culture and design, with an eye for innovation and technology. Thus a publication with the purpose of blurring the lines between style, beauty, and technology is our focal point.

osmosis. is not another fashion magazine it is a theory with a concrete understanding of creativity and innovation as a field in itself. We strive to entice readers to develop their own conclusions and opinions by asking the right questions, and engaging our following by providing them a four dimen-sional outlook on daily life.

Osmosis is targeted to both Industry professionals and connoisseurs for high quality, and thought provoking design. We celebrate individuality and the creators shaping our future. We are approach-ing a new era of socially responsible design reinforcing the art of tradition whilst encouraging a leap in technique and construction. Whether it be materials, construction, textile, or method, osmosis is a visionary arena for both people behind the scenes, and the everyday consumer.

Were dealing here with the human body and its not just a static body, its dealing with movement and expressions, a senso-ry surface so its very important to stress the wearability.

Dutch design is recognised for pushing boundaries, and for provoking our imagina-tion. At the forefront of wearable tech lay countless debates and reservations between function and fash-ion. It is apparent that we are in a new age of design, and social sustainability. Our communication devices have grown into extensions of our own bodies, becoming more wearable and less car-riable. The fashion industry, for the most part, has re-mained unchanged in tradi-tional procedure and design

method. This gap has begun to draw closer towards a united solution to integrate clothing, a daily staple, to work with the ever expand-ing demands of technology. A small collective in the vast-ness of designers in the fashion industry, has begun to grow and gain a steady following; a subcul-ture of designers have found a home in the niche of putting forth striking garments that allow the consumer to create a channel between their modern needs and the clothes on their backs.

Pauline van Dongen has be-gun to create a full circle so-lution between style, func-tion, and green energy sourcing. Paulines compre-hension of similarities be-tween both the tech and fashion industry has propelled her to intermix both industries

to fulfill our needs as a mod-ern society. The strength in her eye catching pieces lie in the combination of beauty and construction, that react in intrigue with a head turn-ing side effect, innovation and ingenuity aside.

Van Dongen began the wearable solar project in 2013, launching her artistic and problem solving purpose in modern fashion.

The project faced the dilemma of creating gar-ments that absorb energy from our most bountiful ener-gy source, the sun. Our cur-rent devices, which are avid-ly used from day to day are confronted with the constant panic of a dead battery.

FashionTech. .

Finding an outlet can often times be not only an annoy-ance , but can also morph into an outright chaotic event. We have all been there, inter-rupting a conversation, asking for an outlet, and the nervous dread of forgetting your charger. These modern day catastrophic events are common when we leave our home or work stations. Gar-ments such as coats and shirts basque in the daylight every time we step through the door. Pauline understood the relative idiocracy between these two instances and so she began her stride into the uncharted seas of wearable technology.

At conception, the project faced various issues, amongst the most prevalent. Was the integration of the solar tech-nology into garments even

possible? Since designers are trained to create a blueprint for their ideas, the magnitude of her talent began to take form as she created a new practice in her design process. Using flexible solar cells, and meticulously hidden wiring the fundamental gears to her machine were in place. An-other concern in question was an anatomical one; what parts of the body are left most exposed to the energising rays of the sun? After testing and researching the obstacle in question, the shoulders were selected as the target surface.

As it stands the project has further jolted Dongen to mould and sculpt our existing technology practices to the needs and care procedures of everyday garments. Currently the flexible solar cells face the issue of washability. Although

triumphant in her journey to create a green wearable power source, Pauline contin-ues to innovate; exploring pos-sibilities of developing and weaving solar threads into seamless textiles. Explorative problem solving is our nature as human beings and will pro-pel us towards a more efficient and practical future.

This is the rebirth of an industry plagued by stagnant product usage and proprietary limits. Rules are made to be broken and fighting the constraints of our current state will only cre-ate technology that works against our social integration and will further strain the fragili-ty of resources we depend on so dearly.

MOULDING

DMITRY BYALIK

We are always on the look for fresh talent and trends worldwide. I have been lucky enough to meet people throughout my career that have broken through the constraints of the industry, and have developed a truly unique identity. In the fashion capital of New York, talent and creativity run wild. Where people from all walks of life are fighting to be seen, it seems near impossible to be noticed. When works like those of Dmitry Byalik are presented, they demand respect and attention.

Dmitry was born in Odessa, Ukraine 30 years ago and has been living in New York for the last 20 years. From a young age his admiration for the fashion shows gracing the TV screen began to grow. Byalik wanted to intertwine his love for art with fashion, and thus a designer was born. After graduating from The Art Insti-tute of New York, he went on to work for the fashion houses of John Varvatos and Asher Levine.

This young artist finds the beauty in the dark and macabre, his work holds a raw handcrafted quality that cannot be duplicated or overlooked. After years of de-veloping his technique, Byalik has perfected hand crafting and leather mould-ing his work. When asked about what makes one of his creations so special, the designer replied:I developed my own way of moulding and hardening the leather. Every custom moulded piece that comes out of my studio is different. If two clients order the same bag, they will not be the same. The moulded art on the bag will be a different shape then the other and the type of leather will be different as well. It is hard to copy my work, even if you completely take the bag apart. you will not know how it was you will not know how it was done.Whilst the majority of the industry moves towards mass production; Dmitry has moved in the other direction. This has created a strong following for the designer. As handmade European and American products run closer to extinction, the few that stand strong for artisanal works gain more respect and higher demand. Dmitry stated: I got into fashion to do what I love, which is to create. I dont real-ly follow main stream fashion..and I wouldnt call my self a fashion designer.Im an artist and my poison is leather. As Dmitrys business grows it is hard to say how this will change his creative dynamic. With retailers like UNTITLED in New York and IMAGENOIRE in London, one must wonder what his future will look like. Even Byalik mentioned that he cannot see where he will be in five years. With the NYC hustle, its difficult to know what your next move will be, but as his customer base expands and his creativity thrives, I can only say that I am truly excited to see his career bloom and evolve.

Its chemistry adapts to the wearer and is different for every person. The wearer may notice a pleasant, subtle velvety-woody note which will vanish, then re-surface after some time.

The unisex sublim-inal fragrance provokes a nasal thought process, a truly concep-tual perfume capturing the smell of us all.

REVOLUTION, by Lisa Kirk, breaks apart from the everyday prejudice of what makes a good fra-grance. This fragrance holds notes of tear gas, blood, urine, smoke, burned rubber, body odor, and more....

Hinoki takes its name from the hinoki cypress, a tree that only grows in Japan. It was inspired by Soaking in the legendary open-air hinoki ofuro (wooden bath) filled with warm spring wa-ter on a chilly morning, the idea for the perfume was born. The full, rich scent of the wood, the smells of the surrounding green-ery.

BOLD.

Transcending from the fluid of life to an enchanting scent that keeps you com-ing back for more. Striking metallic sensory chords the liquid is absent of all floral notes and blooms of metals.

Musk Oud opens with a fresh accord of citrus, cardamom and coriander, a bright burst of spice that warms the pal-ette and eases into the com-plexities yet to come. It is fol-lowed with an explosion of luscious rose, enhanced with rum extract capturing the sweetness of the liquor.

A masterful member of the Demeter Fragrance Library. The name says it, Dirt, and has crisp green notes and a mossy woody base.

HECTOR OAKS

A disc jockey or DJ, the more popular term used since the 1940s, is by definition a person who introduces and plays mixes or samples of recorded music for an audience. Recently elevating its status to an accountable profession title among music interested youth especially in Germanys capital Berlin. Tapping into this development is 23 year old Hector Oaks, who is a DJ, sound technician, produc-

er and soon to be record label owner. With his tremendous achievements the artist has in short time become acclaimed to be the rising name in the techno

scene. Rooted in Spain, Hector is currently based in Berlin. Osmosis magazine met the young talent in his apartment/flat-share in Kreuzberg to talk about his musical

path and life as a full-time DJ.What defines a modern DJ. DJs traditionally known as god of the dance floor has now

grown into modern day composer. Hector as a creator. what separates a traditional DJ from a creator.

When did you start djing?I started djing when I was 15 years old.

When did you release your first track?Three years ago.

What led you to start djing and what was the beginning like?I actually started djing because a friend of mine in school was djing, which got me curious about it and I got into it slowly. First I was only djing for some time, before I started making music and releasing tracks. I just wanted to give it a try and I wasnt loosing any-thing.

How did you get into music? Do you have a background with playing instruments or particular musical studies?When I was little I learned to play a bit of piano, but actually I dont know much I dont even play it anymore. After I discovered elec-tronic music, I started to only listen to that. I dont find other music so interesting. Before that I wasnt really into any kind of music, its a normal thing you know.

Do you feel like djing and making music is an outlet for you?Yea for sure, totally.

Why did music become your way of expressing yourself?I didnt choose it. It just came out naturally. I dont think its a prepared thing, it just appears.

Did your initial inspiration stem from your own music or did you have any particular artist as a role model that influenced you to get more into electronic music?No I dont think so, when I started djing for sure I admired many artists and producers but I didnt have any particular ones. I wasnt trying to copy anyone or trying to focus on anyone in particular.

Lets talk about your tracks. What did you use to produce them in terms of gear and soft-ware?Only Ableton.

How would you describe your workflow when it comes to making music, both technically and inspirationally? Where do you take inspiration from?Well now I get most of my inspiration from going out to clubs and taking the energy from there or from some of the moments there and trying to put them in a track. Its like channeling that inspiration I get into my music that I then play at clubs, it kind of keeps going around in a circle in that way.

How would you define your style of making music?Normally I make two different types of tracks. Some that are more dark and functional,

HECTOR OAKS

Berlin is your new hometown. When and why did you decide to move to Berlin? Did you have a particular reason to move here?It was in march last year, so 2013. I had already came here a couple of times before. I was here the summer before I moved for a whole month. For sure it wasnt a random choice. I got the opportunity to move here because I did an internship for my school as a sound technician in a company based in Berlin. I chose the location for my internship on purpose, because I wanted to come here and try to make a life out of music. Berlin is the best place for music.

Your are working for a few record labels as well, which ones?I worked with one that is based here its called Key Vinyl its from Berlin. It was the one that actually gave me the opportunity to re-lease my first record. I released it before in Italy and after that Im releasing it also on a London label its called Quant Records. And then Im also going to release a record on Sonntag Morgen Rec. its from Mantua, Italy.

You have played a lot in Germany, Spain, Georgia and the UK. Which place outside of Berlin have you experienced more satisfying in terms of atmosphere and reactions from the people?Outside of Germany, for me Jaded in London was kind of special, cause they gave me the opportunity. I didnt have any record out at that time. The vibe theres really crazy, its a place where I really love to play. Also the trip to Georgia was really nice. It was a club that was in the middle of the mountains with a lake in the middle. Its also a very strange city. In Georgia the electronic music is super new for the people or like they are not so into it, so you cant play like in Berlin where people are used to the same thing. I was really surprised when I noticed that they are super open minded.

Do you think about cultural differences when you play in different countries?Yea Im always trying to think about it and Im not really good at doing it. I always get a surprise in the end, and think oh I should have played something else or I realise it when I play. Normally I realise what I can play in the middle of the set.

So you would say that within the techno culture/community there are differences in taste depending on nationalities?Even with dancing you know. for me its the most interesting thing, how people dance in different countries. For example,Jaded in London theyre super energetic. They like really hard music. I was expecting a not really intense or dark set and then I ended up playing harder than in Berghain. Although this was not a normal London club, it was like an after party, a bit like the Berlin community with a group of the same people that go there every weekend.

Your first gig at Berghain this May, was one of your biggest dreams. Tell us more about how it came through?I started working with the agency Unbroken in January this year and they pitched me a couple of times to Berghain and they said yes and then I played there. It was super special for me and the morning after they called me again and they guy from my agency said they received an email from Berghain asking if I could play there again in August and I was like come on the day after. It was too much. Now I'm playing again the 4th of January. I'm super excited being honest..

How does the commercial aspect of making music influence the artistic side of it? Do you feel like you have to compromise your work in order to live of your music?At the point that I am its the commercial side of the music that I am really interested in. I mean commercial, as Straight techno. I am not really into experimental music or that kind of stuff. I play the kind of music that I really love and it is the same music that we could say that fits in the "commercial" side of techno. Anyways I always try to play tracks that I haven't hear to other djs.

Techno culture has been viewed as kind of an underground movement up until recent times. What do you think about this change?I want to support it, because I feel a part of it. If it still was so underground I wouldnt be able to play around. For me its not a bad thing, the music isnt a secret, its for sharing, there is nothing wrong about it.

Have you experienced any kind of negative stereotypes directed at the electronic music style?In Madrid for example the government now is against the electronic music. They see it as a problem.

Anyways I think it has more good things than bad things. I really appreciate the capacity of union that it has. You go to Berghain or other proper techno clubs and you see a big variety of people with different backgrounds all partying together. No one cares of who is who, sometimes there is such an atmosphere... Some magical moments that I think that can not be experienced in any other context.Its just about connecting, about sharing.About feeling.

The AirPod. developed by MDI (www.mdi.lu),

sustaining OUR future.

The solution to urban pollution and urban mobility. With its small size, a tiny price (around $10,000), zero pollution, and a fun and futuristic design, AIRPod marks a turning point in the range of urban vehicles. It is a real breath of fresh air in cities and the prelude to travel without pollution.

Using recycled carbon dioxide as the application, this innovative technology completely eliminates the use of water in the textile dyeing process. The fashion industry has finally begun to move towards true sustainability. Many practices developed during the industrial revolu-tion are still being used to today. Saving water and eliminating pollutants from one step in the fabrication process may seem small, but its a start.

Trending Innovation.The tides of creation are changing and growing at a remarkable pace. This technology surge has made what was once a 10 year leap in advance-ment, jump a millennia, within the microcosm of a year. The same is true for the fashion industry, with designers jumping at opportunities to experiment and create huge developments in both clothing produc-tion and textiles. This is nothing new for designers like Husse in Chalayan who shocked the industry with his robotic hi-tech GOWNS which transformed before our eyes.

That collection sparked something within the fash-ion community, and new explorat ions are being made to feed the hunger for new innovations. Gone are the days of your basic silks and cottons; now fab-rics can be made soft as silk from milk proteins or wood cellulose with lower mainte-nance qualities. 3D printers have been around for about 25 years now, the latter of which have exploded with experimental devel-opment. Thanks to Shapeways 3D printing, the LIGHT BULB of ideas has been illuminated with the birth of the first 3D printed gown, designed for Dita Von Teese.

Since then, designers have begun to flock towards these printers to create everything from shoes to biki-nis. Whilst factors like the global CREDIT crisis have tak-en a toll on global industries; it has also encouraged people to become creators themselves using the In-ternet for massive self promotion whilst seeding their own ideas and new born business. As exciting as these possibilities may be, what does this mean for the future of the fashion industry? Like all technology overtime, it

will become cheaper and more accessible. With 3D printers al-ready on sale for home use, and the knowledge required to use the technology so accessible, will indi-viduals gravitate towards creating their own products? The maker movement has resurfaced in re-cent years, with people given easy access to realise and sell the items they have blueprinted them-selves. We still look in awe of de-signers like Iris van Herpen who introduced the 3D printer to the couture runways of Paris 2010. That being said the growth rate shows that no one can really fore

see what fashion will be in the next few years, and rather than competing with each oth-er, fashion houses have now shifted their battles to-wards time and technology.
