Mash-up style-stories
Since the founding of Fashionoffice in 1995, the magazine makers are following the newest developments of creative heads constantly: cloud computing, videos in TV quality, statistics from third parties, etc. are keywords that describe editorial publications online - the technical side of them. On the other side, essentials for the professional production of editorial online-content are the use (YouTube, Vimeo) and research of opinion (Facebook, Twitter, Blogs) in social media as well as the fulfilment of the grown demands in journalism. The last mentioned is a consequence of the fact that everybody who makes content on the web public, is a 'publisher'.
In the last 15 years, Fashionoffice studies without interruption the reception and presentation of fashion online: from the "FashionAvigator”-study in 1995 (released in 1996) to the ‘Memorized-Data’-hypothesis in 2009 and the monthly collection of data from the user statistics. The Memorized Data-hypothesis was proved by statistical data which verified the assumption that publishers and advertisers have to calculate the impact of editorial content as well as online-campaigns with a new factor: un-progressive data. To make the hypothesis 'waterproofed', Fashionoffice has tested it again. The results are published in the media information with the title 'The influence of advertising on user awareness'.
Albeit, high ranking editorials like a trend analysis about Make Up For Ever from the year 2008 or the historical survey on a Chanel hand bag (written in 2008) can not be overhauled by new articles in the monthly statistics, Fashionoffice has developed a new editorial strategy that does not follow data results from third parties (or, with other words: the statistical recorded needs of the users), but is created from Fashionoffice's contemporary taste for fashion, beauty and art, which is not measureable by technicians.
We hope you enjoy the merged information of beauty, fashion, lifestyle, art, music, film... in Fashionoffice's mash-up style-stories made of text, large images and videos:

Short Message 1/4/2010 - Fashion video about London Pirate Radios 'The platforms change again with the internet, but the spirit of pirate radio lives on with the DJs and artists!' is the conclusio of the video, produced by the French boots label Palladium. It leads you to secret radio stations in London, you can learn why the transmitter and the studio shouldn't be on one place, and what makes the radio makers in the 60s moving into the rusting anti-aircraft towers in the Thames. When the authorities shut them down, pirate sounds went underground. Today, the London 'pirates' reach people across the world. |
