The Growing Appeal of Longboarding
Traditional skateboarders have graduated to bigger boards, which make them feel more like they are surfing on waves than riding on concrete. Longboards measure between 70 and 150 cm. On them, riders can reach speeds of up to 100 km/hour.

Portrait Photographer Christian Tagliavini
Swiss Photographer Christian Tagliavini's pictures seem to be from another era. He sets his models in scenes as if they were in paintings, and designs the not-so-ready-to wear clothing himself.

Futuristic Dutch Architecture
The Netherlands has always been at the forefront of experimental and modern architecture. For those who like sleek lines and innovative design, a visit to Groningen is a must.

Parties, Premieres and More
The 65th annunal Cannes film festival is in full swing on the French Riviera. Euromaxx brings you the latest in movie news and star sightings.
