Platfform 2012-2013

-
Right guys, I have just come back from my first actual lecture of second year in uni and I am freakishly looking forward to my next big project. For the last two years my course leader has created a magazine called Platfform. It is a fashion focused magazine that allows students in the second year of Fashion Promotion and Design to come together and help to create and publish the magazine show casing some of our work.

Now as part of the first section of our brief our aim is to distribute and promote the current issue of Platfform (Platfform 12) to the right target audience. The magazine is free for everybody and is a great way of networking and introducing yourself to the new generation of Fashion lovers. 

The best thing about Platfform (apart from the obvious) is that it is written in a completely different voice to some famous and loved fashion magazines out there. Focusing on enticing the younger generation the voices behind the magazine are the students living life emerged in fashion. I will post a link to the Platfform website below so you can read the latest issue and see how amazing the work is. 

I just wanted to put some feelers out there to anybody who may run blogs/websites etc that would be interested in receiving the magazine. They can be sent over seas and all around the country and are sent out in packs of 10. They are obviously free of charge as we are using them as a way of self promotion but it would be really great for both us and you if you would pick up a few copies and start to spread the word. Once we have created our issue in a few months time, the Platfform 13 edition will be published ready to be sent out next year. 

Although I am obviously going to be biased towards anybody who was in my position this time last year, working on the current issue, it really is a great magazine. It is unlike any other magazine out there but has an under lying attitude similar to the more funky and edgy prints such as ID or Love. The original writing, photography and illustrations that are created by students of Glamorgan uni are amazing and well and truly deserve their place in what is one day set to be an iconic magazine.

Take a look at the Platfform website to familiarise yourself with what the magazine is all about. here - http://www.platfform.org/Fashion/home.html

And be sure to have a read of the newest edition!

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
