We are who we are
“And that is what we have to work with.”
“We just cool guys that do cool stuff”
(V)L$D has its roots in the union of two collectives: VILAINS MOB from Paris and LIVE $HINE DIE from Saarbrücken Germany. Both collectives were born out of a shared motivation and also frustration: to create a network that could help people change, not just in their actions but in how they see themselves and others. At their core, they believed in the power of helping individuals value themselves and appreciate those around them. By fostering this sense of self-worth and mutual respect, their vision grew into a larger goal: to unlock true potential, both individually and collectively, and to build a network where creativity serves as a bridge for transformation and connection. Together, these two collectives became (V)L$D, a movement that sees creativity not just as a tool, but as a way of life.
In addition to the collective goals, each member contributes their individual aspirations, spanning fields such as music, fashion, consulting, photography, acting, modeling, architecture, DJing and more.
“lets make everyday a bit of sense with what we doing”
(V)L$D is a work in progress, and a vision for a better future. Spanning across the world, we are a network of individuals who share the same goals: to grow, create, and help each other succeed. At our core, we know that no one can achieve greatness alone. True progress comes from connection, collaboration, and the courage to embrace new possibilities.
(V)L$D is built on the belief that everyone has potential, even if it’s not always clear how to unlock it. Sometimes all it takes is a nudge in the right direction, the right contact, or an honest conversation to spark a transformation.
