Culture Cocktail w/ Valérie Marijke

I want to go to studio 54...

Happy to have you back! In this episode I share with you a super nice experience that happened to me some time ago and how I got to meet 2 of my biggest idols!! What is life?! That experience also got me thinking about culture today and yearning for the past where like minded people met up in cafes in Paris or Studio 54, and ask I ask myself where is culture happening today? and where are those places now? So this convo is definitely a daiquiri which is classic and chill but can be as strong as you want it to be. That's why I do need to let you know that the rum might have spilled a bit at the end... My co-host was just not having it! Little Lumi (my dog) was pure chaos so if you see the video you are in for a treat! I hope you enjoy this more relaxed and even more chaotic episode. -XO VM

Shallow-Depths: Jonathan Anderson's debut at Dior

I am back!!! After almost a one year hiatus I am sitting again with you for some much needed catch up and with a new cohost!!!! This week's episode is a spicy margarita: basic, fresh but chaotic with a twist! I share with you my analysis and thoughts about THE fashion debutant of the season: Jonathan Anderson at Dior. I have some very controversial takes on his first collections, none very favorable. Is he the best fit at Dior? Only time will tell, but for now I was underwhelmed and confused. JWA's debut at Dior for me should be titled Shallow Depths... Let me know what you are siping on this time and your hot takes at Dior. Because maybe I just don't get it... Until next time.

March favourites

Here is a small bonus episode! The vibes very much scream lazy Sunday yet still a stimulating conversation. I talk about my march favourites, Culture Cocktail style. Hope you enjoy this little rambles, as a break from the sometimes too deep talks. Love, -Rijke

Cultural Shifts of the New Age: Let them eat smoke! Part 1.

This week's episode is part of a new series on the podcast called: Cultural Shifts of the New Age. And you can bet it's truly a negroni (or two) level of conversation. With all the crazy things that are going on in the world, who can blame me for thinking deeper (maybe too deep) into them? This week's victim of said mental pursuits is the Glorification of Democratisation, and how it has promoted some of the biggest lies we have believed as society... Or at least that's my take on it. I hope you enjoy the first part of this interesting topic and that you don't get a knowledge hangover! XO- Rijke

From old spies and arcane technologies... my fav shows at the moment

This week we have a nice kiki where I share with you why I have been absent and my favourite shows at the moment, in case you don't know what to watch. l'm a great sales woman ;) This episode is like a feel good Bellini, sweet, light and bubbly. See you next time! -XO Rijke
