Our very last newsletter for the year: we examine how stories shape/manipulate our view of objects, Droog launches new Dutch fashion labels in New York, we take a look at two striking cathedral-inspired spaces - one dedicated to fashion and the other, a guesthouse - and Viktor & Rolf add an enchanting sparkle to de Bijenkorf's Christmas collection. Even though this is our last newsletter, do keep an eye out for new stories over the next few weeks. So as snow falls throughout The Netherlands, we'd like to wish you all a very festive holiday season and New Year, and see you in January 2010.
