Top Shop Takes in Local Designers

Fashion students from Barking & Dagenham are competing for the chance to have their clothes sold at Topshop.

Fifty students from Barking College and Barking Abbey School have been challenged to design and make T-shirts for the store.They’ll then have be judged be judged by the store’s bosses, and a panel of senior industry professionals.

The winner will have their garment sold in the flagship shop on Oxford Street as part of the Spring/Summer collection next year.

It’s the first competition of its kind in the country, and is part of an initiative called “Fashion Enter”, which aims to teach youngsters about the industry.

Fashion Enter director Jenny Holloway told me it’s about getting them to understand the business side of things, not just the creative:

“There’s a lot of costs that are involved with fashion. It’s a fantastic, exciting, fast moving and glamorous industry.

But what I think a lot of young designers don’t realise is that it is a business- it’s not a hobby. Fabric’s expensive, [so are] the patterns…

If they get it wrong then very often many designers may fail in their first year of business because they just don’t have the cash flow and the resources to go into the next level.

By starting with education and working with these really talented designers … it’s a way of educating them in a positive way”.

18 year old Rachel Maclaine from Barking College says it’s the opportunity of a life-time:

“I feel very excited about this. I’ve wanted to be a fashion designer since the age of 7…

[now] I feel like I’m on my way to getting what I really want in life”.

the world is ending

Yes. Thats right.. Zubaz Pants are BACK!!! Please dont buy them, not even to sleep in. They are not retro. They are a sick sad reminded of how LAME the 90’s WERE! The pants were first made popular by weightlifters and overweight sports fans and it should stay that way.. in the past. I understand that everyone wants a piece of the “retro fads” that are overwhelming the world today, but this was a bad fad even when it was in its own time. Take a look at the photo below. There it no forgiving that. I plead with all of you, dont do it.

New girl in town

Theres a new designer in Portland and she needs some damn attention. Shesho Designs provides fashionable and affordable apparel for hip young adults. Sheshocomes from a place you can feel good about,The Great Northwest, but more specifically, Portland (Oregon). Krista Kelly, founder of Shesho Designs, was inspired to explore fashion design after spending three months in Buenos Aires Argentina the winter of 2006. Her work is heavily influenced by South American fashion and the graffiti art that she documented in Argentina. After returning to her home town of Bellingham Washington, she soon moved to Portland. Portland proved to be an inspiration to her as well, with a rich local fashion scene and graffiti culture. As a perk, she places a heavy emphasis on recycled clothing and redesigned vintage material, using recycled products in approximately 60% of her designs. Shesho offers colorful and original items such as necklaces, t-shirts, knit fanny-packs, and hot pants, with more items planned for the future. Her current line includes necklaces, t-shirts, knit fanny-packs, and hot pants. You can find her products at Portland Saturday Market and at Frock boutique at 1439 NE Alberta, Portland Oregon.
