A once in a life time opportunity

Athif Dean and Emily Gough

Athif who graduated in June this year (2011) had a placement last year at McQueen (brilliant in itself and demonstrates the level of professional recognition that our students have within the fashion industry) this led to him being asked back to work on the dress which adorns the front cover of American Vogue this month....


We would also like to recognise Emily Gough, graduate 2011 who also worked on this garment during her placement at McQueen

Ugandan fashion September 2011

I was at a very interesting conference in London a couple of weeks ago, where I was invited to attend a fashion show of contemporary Ugandan fashion.
It was a very different fashion ethic and had a strong historic influence of Victorian Clothing
Enjoy !!!

Theme:
Located in the less polished end of the city was the empty ware house that grew old and frail, close to expiration. But it was salvaged by a group of young, fresh vagabonds with a vision. They revived the crumbling structure and established a modern space that would unite and inspire. It was reborn as the Modern Art Gallery. The opening night was stylish and opulent; music playing, renowned artists speaking, art lovers babbling. However, the walls were bare and the frames were empty. The young vagabonds called on the city’s creatives to get to work and display their work in this new space. What would you design for this space? 
Submission Package

Colour
Here are some seasonal colours to inspire and delight.

In the unlikely event that we cannot produce your pattern the way you designed it we will communicate with you about alterations. However, we will do everything we can to ensure that the winning design is accurately produced. Designs must be original and not have been entered in other competitions. Front Row Society will select a winner from the ten designs that receive the highest score.
FRONT ROW SOCIETY
About us
When sitting in the front row, you are given that extra dose of comfort: more leg room; a better view. You are in the decision-making seat. Our bags reflect the qualities of front row living. With high-quality material, original design and efficient delivery we are certain that our bags will be completely, and utterly, delightful.
The concept of Front Row Society came to life through our understanding of fashion tête-à-tête. Fresh ideas can come from anywhere and from anyone. It shouldn’t matter who created them; instead, the idea itself ought to be valued. Front Row Society is an interactive platform that gives designers from all backgrounds a chance to showcase their work to the fashion-world. This unique opportunity allows people to develop their personal style and nurture their ideas...
And if the fashion-world likes it, Front Row Society will produce it.
Front Row Society’s home city is Berlin. Continuously shaped by the freedom and dynamism that plunders the streets of Berlin from morning to night, Front Row Society is very much a consequence of Berlin living. Like the city itself, Front Row Society is a work unfinished. It is constantly added to and improved by the ideas and talent of the fashion community. This is what Front Row Society is and how it will evolve – it will nurtured by you.
We have laid the foundations for something great – we need fresh ideas to build it.
Born in Berlin, created worldwide.
Deadline for submissions 31st August

Inflatable fashion

Gareth Pugh




The black and white images are unknown designers from the 1950's
and the Lady in green is the only time that I will use a "celebrity" photograph
(a little guilty pleasure on the occasion of getting 10,000 hits)
This is an early sneak peek of some of the out of this world fashion that I will be referencing next month at the Fashion Colloquia at the London college of Fashion.
