meeting at an interview

 

 

The future partners met in the late 90s when Gert interviewed Jop about Re-Magazine. By that time, Gert had worked for Nieuwe Revu magazine, had been a culture critic for left-leaning Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant and eventually became the editor-in-chief of Dutch cultural and lifestyle magazine Blvd. Jonkers ended up hiring van Bennekom as an art director for Blvd.

 

 

 

one of the things that jop and i don’t like is this concept of lifestyle. from the beginning, we’ve tried to do the opposite and be mesmerized by people, not by things. —gert jonkers
