RETOUCHED STUDIOS : #BeMyAlly is the title of the STILNEST x KLARNA campaign, GQ UK, Porsche Design X Patrick Dempsey, Anke Engelke on the cover of DEUTSCH VOGUE, and WRIGLEY’S EXTRA

“With my necklace, I would like to draw attention to the injustices that queer people still suffer from all over the world. Which is why I am committed to making sure queer members of the BIPoC community receive more attention in society.” dancer Antony Franz says about the design of his necklace.

“I wanted this to be a bold bracelet that would occupy space, just like queers historically have repeatedly occupied space in a heteronormative world. ‘Bye, Bye’ stands for: ‘Bye, Bye Normality’ and “Hello and look at you: LGBTQIA+!” Tarik Tesfu says about the design of his bracelet.

“With my ring, I want to make it clear that modern, self-chosen families – like my own queer family – can give an enormous amount of love and support. To me, the ring means trust, a promise that we give our queer communities and queer families every day.” Ebru Düzgün says about the design of her ring.

“My earrings reflect the diversity of being trans. Everyone should listen and observe attentively and respectfully. It’s important to accept all genders.” Phenix Kühner says about the design of her earrings.

As part of #BeMyAlly, Klarna and Stilnest gave four queer personalities a platform to communicate important issues of the community to a broader audience. They designed four individual pieces of jewelry, the designs of which are based on personal experiences, emotional stories and doctrines. The focus is on the topics sexuality, rascism, stereotypes and gender roles.

By purchasing a piece of jewelry from the #BeMyAlly collection, you take a stand against discrimination, stigmatization and exclusion of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC community as well as in favor of unlearning and re-evaluating behavior patterns and paradigms. 10 % of the proceeds from each piece of jewelry sold from the #BeMyAlly collection goes to the three charitable organizations named by the talents : GLADT e.V., Voices4Berlin and Checkpoint BLN. Klarna is supporting them additionally with a five-figure contribution.

The campaign was photographed by Kapturing c/o Stoever photographers for Studio O Agency of founder Oliver Jopke. Post production by RETOUCHED STUDIOS.

Klarna is a Swedish payment provider headquartered in Stockholm. The company offers payment solutions in the e-commerce sector. Its core service is to take merchants’ payment claims and process their customer payments from that point on.

Stilnest is an online jewelry company based in Berlin. Stilnest is known for working with social media stars and celebrities, such as British YouTube star Anna Saccone, German YouTube star and actress Nilam Farooq and German model Stefanie Giesinger. The company currently ships to 65 countries worldwide.

Brian Bowen Smith photographed Hollywood actor and accomplished race car driver Patrick Dempsey for PORSCHE DESIGN Eyewear in the always sunny state of California. What better place to sport a pair of understated sunglasses from the new PORSCHE DESIGN collection.

Post production of the motifs was in the hands of RETOUCHED STUDIOS, and the executive agency was thjnk.

Fans of Patrick ‘Ex-Mc Dream’ Dempsey can now look forward to the sequel of the rom-com ‘Enchanted’. The Disney story from 2007 is about to enter its second round – and yes, once again with Patrick Dempsey (56) and collegue Amy Adams (47) in the lead roles. The actor is expected to make his singing debut in the sequel titled ‘Disenchanted’. Yet another talent of the avid juggler, magician, puppeteer and heartbreaker we are dying to see! Appearing exclusively on Disney+.

Camila Armbrust c/o Shotview photographed Germany’s beloved Anke Engelke for the long overdue cover spread in Deutsch VOGUE.

Post production of the spread was in the hands of RETOUCHED STUDIOS with offices in Munich and Hamburg, ‘specialized in high-end retouching for fashion and beauty pictures.’

The avowed vegan lives in Cologne and has enjoyed an uber-successful career since the beginning of time. There’s hardly anything she can’t do : hosting shows, singing, stand-up, lecturing, hosting the Eurovision Song Contest, and filling entire Netflix series with charisma – all no problem for Super-Anke.

Missed it? – okay, the NETFLIX series with Anke Engelke – named the ‘The Last Word’, shows Anke unvarnished – and is an absolute must see. The link is as always below the article.

‘Find Your Fresh Look’, Mars Wrigley’s first global campaign for Extra chewing gum, was developed to grow the brand’s market penetration among the coveted target group below the age of 25. It supports rebranding measures for Extra and included UK partnerships with online shop for women’s clothing I Saw It First and sunglasses retailer BadHero.

The campaign was photographed and filmed by Tom VAN SCHELVEN c/o MAKING PICTURES, with post production in the hands of RETOUCHED STUDIOS.
