XAVEWORLD: Around the World vol.1
Today marks an exciting new chapter with the official launch of XAVEWORLD, an online magazine redefining cultural connections through creativity. In collaboration with BRUUT, a distinguished Dutch brand, XAVEWORLD proudly presents its inaugural feature, "Around the World." This initiative, curated by the founder Xaviër Lieveld, aims to bridge brands with cultures that enhance their global narratives.
XAVEWORLD is a bold response to the silent period following the legacy of All The Names Magazine. It sets a new tone through innovative projects that celebrate diverse cultural tapestries. This launch symbolizes a creative renaissance and a promise to explore global stories through the lens of fashion, music, art/design, and culture.
“Especially when it comes to culture, everything is intertwined, and I love it.” - Xaviër Lieveld
Xaviër’s journey from Paramaribo, Suriname, to the bustling cultural hub of the Netherlands has deeply influenced his unique perspective on cultural integration, sparking his creative mind day in and day out.
Around the World Vol. 1 takes readers to the heart of Paramaribo, showcasing a visual narrative that reflects Lieveld’s connection with his hometown and the brands he connects it with. This edition features a collaboration with BRUUT, a brand whose journey from a humble sneaker store to expanding with its own garments mirrors the transformative ethos of XAVEWORLD. You might’ve seen some of their creations sported by Mochakk, Alireza Ghadiri, Kybba, Sunnery James, and Ryan Marciano, cementing their influence in the sports and music industry.
As I’m writing this very piece I’m munching on a Javanese-Surinamese snack called “bron bron” (crispy rice snacks), making me think of a Persian delicacy called Tahdig (crispy Persian rice). A connection comes in many ways, visually, through senses, taste, and most importantly, feeling.
