Fairy Tales

N.22 of November 12th, 2015

Editorial by

Fairytales are metaphors for life. The protagonists represent the personification of our dreams and our fears. They are often cruel, with witches and ogres that eat children, evil step-mothers that order their step-children to be killed, but almost always, they have a happy ending. Toads that transform into princes, and princes, with their kiss, awake sleeping beauties from their eternal sleep. They tell tales where good overcomes evil, and beauty over ugliness. Aesthetically speaking, fairytales symbolize the drawing out of beauty and wonder from the banality of everyday living. The classic iconography is filled with heraldic symbols, winged creatures, lush flora and humanized animals.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
