Girl With
One Eye (Live) by Florence and The Machine on www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5Zoxf3G6u8.
The video is from the time before Florence Walch was discovered by the
fashion world such as Vogue or UK designer Paul Smith. Her new track
‘Drumming Song’ will be released on 13 Sept www.florenceandthemachine.net
Received
following letter to the editor: “As a teacher of (business) English at
a fashion college in Vienna (Michelbeuern) I really appreciate your website
as a useful source of information for state-of-the-art teaching. It's a pity
that the texts which are high standard contentswise are full of mistakes as
regards correct use of vocab and grammar. To be more professional I would
strongly advise you to have some proof reading by a competent native
speaker.” (The text is not translated by Fashionoffice; the teacher’s letter
was originally written in English.)
The
video-interview with the UK designers of Harriet’s Muse is
about FW9/10 inspired by the environmental and economic situation. Just
received an invitation to the private viewing of Spring/Summer 2010 ‘Come Fly
With Me’ on 20 Sept in London. They will present key pieces like the
‘handkerchief skirt/dress’, the cheeky ‘finback corset’ and the irresistible
‘tutu bag’.
Win a
full-tuition scholarship to study fashion at one of The Art Institutes schools,
