Below is a link to a survey for the purpose of collecting important data for a new website.If you are a fashion design student (any discipline) or know people who are - please read this blog post and send it to the target audience mentioned so the survey can be filled.
Fashion Design Students - It’s hard for many creative, talented
and fashion savvy student designers to get their work noticed in the fashion
industry. All their hard work of studying fashion design (any
discipline) seems to be quite slim after completing their Further and Higher Education to aspire to be designers. The fashion industry to me seems to be
a very ‘clicky’ or in other words a “who you know” industry and well if you don’t
know anyone – it can be a tricky business to get into.
I have studied journalism (other side of the coin) at West London University and went on to intern at fashion magazines and PR companies which
later on lead me to completing a journalism training course based in Tottenham
– which was fabulous.
However, I still found it difficult to get into the fashion media
industry and now that I am almost 30 years old I have started my own venture as I realised that I can’t wait on something that may or may not happen. I've learnt from entrepreneurs such as Oprah Winfrey, Ozwald Boateng – African Fashion Designer and Jacqueline Gold - Ann Summers Chief Exec that “you have to
make things happen for yourself” and make sure that you “love what you do”.
Back to Fashion Design Students - I had noticed there is a lack of
diversity in the fashion design industry as a whole when it comes to BAME groups (Black,
Asian and Minority Ethnic Groups) in regards to their own unique designs being showcased.
To my knowledge the high-fashion and high-street fashion industry
have captured a lot of inspired designs that originate from other parts of the
world i.e. Asia and Africa. Yet, the BAME groups
are an untapped market considering they make up a good percentage of the
population in the UK and are influential cultures when it comes to music and
food but yet there is a lack of representation when its comes to BAME groups breaking into the world of fashion after education.
The only representation I am aware of is at
specified events such as Africa Fashion Week (London) which is marginalized – set aside
from mainstream fashion events i.e. London Fashion Week, London Fashion Weekend and etc.
After all, didn't the London 2012 Olympics showcase how DiverseBritain has become? Yes - therefore this should be showcased in the fashion designer
industry too. Furthermore, it is the fashion students to me that are the future
designers who are also consumers and like everyone else are dictated to by the
fashion industry as passive purchasers in regards to what the seasonal trends are which subconsciously is telling us what to buy.
It is time for us to think about how we can make
things happen for ourselves i.e. setting up your own business and for you
Fashion Design Students to show and let the industry know who the real trendsetters are.
If you are a fashionista like me who shops at high-street stores
for example Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Forever21 and New Look; then you’ll be pleased
to know that H&M showcased a great collection during Paris Fashion Week - Fall
2013.
H&M ethos was modern drama with a touch of feminine tailoring
juxtaposed with a tomboy effect – ready and waiting for you to grab. In the video
you will be fashionably educated by top A-list celebrities, fashion journo’s
and drop-dead-gorgeous models who talk on camera about the new collection and their
favourite key pieces for Fall 2013. Press Play!
I had a bit of a writers block this afternoon and was
thinking of what to talk about and then it hit me to go onto the Cityblis website
and source some fashion treats for you to shop or at least look at.
Pressing on, I am sure you might be aware that my
favourite colour is pink due to my blog text which tells you I am a feminista (feminine-fashionista) yes, I made that up.
This short post will show you some of the coolest fashion,shoes, accessories and a beauty product that I think you will like that are available in pink and hopefully it
will entice those of you that may not be much of a feminista to give girly pink a try.

The Leather Satchel Co is an infamous British heritage brand
and the oldest existing Satchel maker that was established in 1966. The Leather
Satchel Co was founded by Stephen Hanshaw who travelled around the world to enhance
his creativity in bag designing.
In the summer of 1966 he was approached to design his first Satchel
based from the era of the 1920s and since then he has successfully continued to
do so. Stephen Hanshaw designed his first two colours in Charcoal and Chestnut Brown which is what you see today.
During the latter part of the year, Stephen was approached
again by a headmaster of a private school and was asked to design Leather Satchels
for the pupils that attended - which gracefully launched his business in Liverpool.
Now, fast-forward and press-play to 2013 The Leather Satchel Co has over 30
colours to choose from - just think of it like a bag of Skittles “shop the
rainbow”.
Yes, Satchels are a bit pricey but think about the craftsmanship,
uniqueness and the real leatherness (my own word) for a fashion accessory that
will last a lifetime. However, if you don’t think your purse strings can stretch
that far write it on your “wish list” for someone to buy for you.

Butch Diva Summer 2013 collection is unique and chic and what I love about this label is that it pushes the boundaries within the fashion world with exquisite graphic prints, strips, miss-matched ensembles and bold designs.
I have fallen hard for this label as I am a fashionista whom at times plays it safe when it boils down to trends. However, this label expresses many personalities for their clientele and I know that I am noun number (5) 'boss lady' mixed with being feminine and that is what I love about the designs.
