Movember: Shave Off
Fighting prostate cancer by growing a moustache: it sounds funny, but it’s pure reality. Strutter View is joining Movember, the worldwide charity event focusing on prostate cancer research and awareness. Vincent will be decorating his face with a moustache throughout the complete month of November and raise money. He experienced in his own family how ...

Yelp CPH
Last weekend I was in the lovely capital of Denmark, Copenhagen. During my first day there I had the opportunity to get a personal tour of the city by Emilie, she is the community manager of Yelp CPH. She showed me the best shopping streets and some other hotspots. Later that night she invited me ...

The Søren Interview: 1 Year Matterhorn
This Friday is one of this year’s parties I look the most forward to: the first anniversary of Matterhorn. For the occasion I decided to talk to one of the girls of Søren, DJs and co-founders of the party concept. Rosalie De Meyer (right) found a space in her very busy agenda to put off ...

Bal Costumé at MoMu
This month only I already had 3 costume parties, but the best one had to be Bal Costumé at the MoMu during the Antwerp Museum Night. With everybody masked, dressed up and ready to party, there was such an exciting atmosphere. We also had the opportunity to visit the exhibition ‘LIVING FASHION. Women’s Daily Wear ...

Sleep Under the Stars
We didn’t have to think twice when we heard we could sleep on the beach in comfortable beds as a celebration of one of the most iconic visual artists of the past decades, Storm Thorgerson. Fort Napoleon in the Belgian coastal city of Ostend is dedicating an exhibition to the works and life of this ...

A Night Out with Yelp
The event and hotspot review site Yelp.com is extremely popular on the other side of the Atlantic, but in Belgium it’s still taking its first baby steps. Yet, since the launch of Yelp.be, a group of exciting people has embraced the network and tries to spread the word. These people also happen to like to ...

Matterhorn 006
I love going out in my home town Antwerp with my closest friends, but sometimes you have to explore new territories. That’s how I ended up in Ghent last night with a new group of party animals for the sixth edition of Matterhorn. And as you can see in the pics: we went crazy and ...

BIFFF: The Raven
‘The Raven’ of Edgar Allan Poe must certainly be one of my favourite poems ever written. So seduced by that (and a free entrance ticket, I have to admit), I went to the opening of the 30th Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival aka the BIFFF. Opening film: The Raven, directed by James McTeigue. The audience ...

Photo Report: Bal Masqué
As promised in my last post ‘Dress Up Obsession’, here is my look of this year’s Bal Masqué of the Costume Department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. It was made with 150 glow-in-the-dark bracelets. Of course this post isn’t all about me, so here is the complete photo report! The four ...

Dress Up Obsession
Huray, tonight is the annual Bal Masqué of the Costume Department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp! I’m a really big fan of costume parties and I promise you that my outfit for this year’s edition will be completely over the top. Since an image tells more than a thousand words, here ...

Ola Beach Party
A party, summer and ice cream: Julie and I didn’t have to think twice when we received an invitation for the Ola Beach Party. The construction and location next to the river in Antwerp was just perfect. The Magnum Temptation Mini is a great party snack. It went surprisingly well with a glass of cava. ...

Sushi Party
For those who don’t know it yet, the Strutter View team loves to eat sushi! So it’s obvious that we tried to make it ourselves. Our first attempt wasn’t that bad at all so we decided it was time to throw a sushi party. Of course you can’t have a sushi party without karaoke. The ...

From the Royal Ballet to Kissinger
Saturday I went to see Sleeping Beauty with Leila. We both really love to go to the ballet. Of course it wasn’t allowed to take pictures during the show but I took one before it started . We had such great seats. As Leila said , you could smell the hairspray of the dancers. ...

Julie’s Birthday
Last weekend was my 22th Birthday. To celebrate I went with my parents and Vincent to one of my favorite asian restaurants : Ikebana. Unfortunately Britt couldn’t join us due to her exams. I’ll be so happy when I graduate so I won’t have any exams during my birthday. The last 3 years I ...

Kissinger : more than an afterparty
I don’t believe in only one birthday party, so that’s why my lovely friend Sammy-Jo and I went to the singer Daan’s afterparty at Kissinger. I made this funny picture of her during our ‘pre-drink’. There were a lot of crazy people at Kissinger and we gladly joined them in their party madness. We met ...

Analogue Celebrations
My last analogue pictures are finally developed! I dedicated this disposable camera to parties and celebrations with people that are close to my heart. The first two girls are both called Eline. The first did her ‘goodbye party’ to the USA, the second one celebrated her birthday. Of course I had to take pictures of ...

Vincent’s Saturbirthday
I celebrated my birthday last Saturday night and me and my friends wanted more than just a slice of birthday cake. My first stop was Julie’s place, where Britt and Maxime were too, so it was a complete Strutter View gathering. They made delicious asian food and chocolate fondue. After the chocolate fondue we went ...

Barcelona: a night experience
Barcelona, one of my favourite cities by far. My good friend Magali is doing an exchange programme over there, so it was the perfect occasion to step on a plane with direction ‘BCN’. It was my third time in the capital of Catalonia, but only the first time as an adult. Conclusion: no Gaudí for ...

Une Parisienne à Anvers
I was so surprised when my Parisian friend Marion sent me a message to tell that she would arrive in Antwerp four hours later. Luckily I hadn’t made plans, so we had an amazing day together. One of her French friends Hugo came along and he was really a nice dude. We had lunch at ...

Another dimension to satirical horror
I’ve got a little confession to make: I like satirical horror movies. That’s why I just had to go to Final Destination 5 in 3D. It’s simply disgusting, predictable and so entertaining. Final Destination 5 is staying true to its format with semi-hot twenty-something people who escaped from a disaster just to be killed later ...

Any Way the Wind Blows
Julie and I went to see Any Way the Wind Blows at Cinema Urbana the same day we got our free Maes beer keg. We were intrigued by the opening scene of the movie where Windman is dancing in a very epileptic yet cool way. That’s why we tried to pay tribute to this motion ...

Sin City in Antwerp
I was completely blown away by Sin City from the first time I’ve seen it. The stories, the cast, the special effects… everything is so impressive. That’s why I was so delighted when I heard that Sin City was on the menu of Cinema Urbana. The free open-air movie theatre at the Schelde river always ...

Linkerwoofer: singing in the rain
Each year I’m going to the free Antwerp ‘Left Bank’ festival, called Linkerwoofer and I’m always having a blast. This time even the rain couldn’t stop me from enjoying the concerts from The Van Jets and Absynthe Minded. Linkerwoofer is the ideal place to meet all of your friends from different groups and try to ...

Randomness at its best
Julie and I always have the best random stuff happening around us. This time there was a promo guy from Maes beer who came out of the blue and asked us if we wanted to have a free beer keg. We could instantly enjoy a fresh glass of beer with the two super friendly Maes ...

As you probably all know, we had the pleasure to go to the Replay fashion show of the Spring Summer 2012 collection yesterday! It was our first invitation as a team but sadly Vincent couldn’t join us because he is enjoying a pleasant holiday in Turkey. Fortunately, the collection was better than expected! Denim was ...

Video: Catching up by candle light
Catching up by candle light from Strutter View on Vimeo. Going out for dinner is the easiest and most enjoyable way to catch up with each other when time and distance separate us. Last weekend we all gathered down in Zurenborg, Antwerp. This is where restaurant Galliano is located. We were literally spoiled with delicious ...

Bibi: Capital at the castle
I would normally refuse if someone invited me into a castle’s dungeon, but for the Café Capital party ‘Bibi’ in ‘t Steen castle I had to make an exception. Wet by the rain, but full of excitement Julie and I arrived at the party and got in for free and without having to queue. We ...

Meet the Strutter View team
Getting our Spritz on from Strutter View on Vimeo. Last night we had a drink at one of our favourite bars in Antwerp. Vitrin’s atmosphere was perfect for our first vlog. The interior design has a modern feel to it with a touch of cosiness. Britt’s boyfriend Maxime Heirbaut made some great footage of our ...
