What is fashion? What can we do with fashion?
Fashion designer Yoshikazu Yamagata, works to emotionally expand the concept of fashion and tackling big questions like those above. He stirred controversy with his collections at Japan Fashion Week, including “The Everyone’s New Clothes” which questioned what fashion was about, ”Graduate Fashion Show 0′ Point”, which showcased the strength of starting from zero in fashion and “The Fashion Show of The Gods”, his Spring/Summer 2010 collection, which examined the origins of creation, presented in October 2009.

Shoreditch Sisters W.I - London

January 29th, 2010 - jessicah - 0 Comments

By Jessica Hazel.

The Women’s Institute (W.I) was first established in 1897 and now has over 205,000 members in the UK alone. The W.I carries a somewhat frumpy reputation and most people imagine a gaggle of old ladies, who meet each week in the village hall to discuss jam making techniques and various health complaints. This is indeed the case, except for a pocket of women from East London who go by the name of the Shoreditch Sisters, who have been tipped as the most glamourous W.I group in the country. I tagged along one Tuesday evening for the first meeting of 2010.

Selfridges has teamed up with Rellik in their first ever retail collaboration to present a selection of original nineties and nineties-inspired products, all up for sale in one neon-coloured corner of the Oxford Street store. Grunge, Britpop, Nearly-There Technology, YBA’s. Grrrl and Girl Power, Supermodels and the rise of the Super-band are the main themes of the collection, which come together in eclectic and authentic harmony.

Those of you who find yourselves in the big smoke this January should take a trip to the National Portrait Gallery before the months out for the last chance to check out over 150 photographs of England’s finest rock ‘n’ roll treasures, from Beatles to Bowie and Hendrix to the Stones, it’s well worth a look as at least 100 of the images have never been seen before.

Jarvis Cocker Makes An Exhibiton Of Himself

The king of Brit-pop, Jarvis Cocker, spent the majority of this week performing at the Village Underground Gallery in Shoreditch. It’s here that Cocker and his motley band, provided the backing track to a variety of bizarre workshops, including, pole dancing, hula-hooping and yoga classes. Open to all, and intended to break down the barriers between performer and audience, musician and artist and of course Cocker and fans.

Snoopy Badge

East End graffiti artist Cyclops, has become an ubiquitous part of London’s trendy East. It’s hard to turn a corner without being presented with his trademark one-eyed Charlie-Brown or toothy grin. But, judging by his latest exhibition of fine art light-boxes and political badges, London’s favourite graffiti artist has grown up.
