Map point - The Fashionoffice Map
The map shows some interesting places where people are creating fashion. Follow the points on the map:

Fashion and music in punk-Afro style Map
Paris based fashion recycler Xuly Bet costumes the punk-Congolese pop music opera 'more more more... future' by the Congolese choreographer, director and dancer Faustin Linyekula who says about the Congolese pop music, called 'Ndombolo': “Ndombolo sings of beautiful women, fine clothes, expensive cars”, Linyekula says, “as if it just grew on trees, in a country where in fact you have to start all over again every day.”

Taking a journey to and from the Caribbean Map
Trinidad born artist Marlon Griffith has powdered the sign of Louis Vuitton on the skin of the school girl. The fashion label is renown for its long tradition in making travel bags.

A cocktail party and the Vienna Secessionists Map
In January 2010, Austrian tailor Peter Weisz has invited to his cocktail party into the 4th district of Vienna nearby the Karlsplatz where the two prominent railway station buildings are standing, once designed by the Vienna Secessionist and Jugendstil architect Otto Wagner in 1899. Why the urban history is so important for this Vienna Insight becomes obvious when you read further until the note by the editor. It's a nice coincidence that Peter Weisz works on such an art historical interesting place in Vienna


SHORT MESSAGES:

Sport - Footballer Zinedine Zidane in a new video for the Yohji Yamamoto collection Y-3 for adidas In 2002, adidas and Yohji Yamamoto have launched Y-3 for men and women; Y stands for Yohji, 3 for the three stripes of adidas. On 11th February 2010, Y-3 released a video for the new collection on occasion of the FIFA 2010 World Cup (11 June - 11 July). The SS2010 pieces are inspired by soccer and the movement of the net after a goal. In the leading role of the video you can see French footballer Zinedine Zidane starring above the roofs with models which are representing the eight soccer federations sponsored by adidas: South Africa, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Argentina, France, and Russia.

Yahoo News, 12 Feb 2010: Article about Alexander McQueen by Gregory Katz Associated Press writers Raphael G. Satter, Danica Kirka and Sylvia Hui in London, Jenny Barchfield in Paris, and Samantha Critchell and Anne D'Innocenzio in New York contributed to the report "British fashion designer McQueen found dead at 40".

Map point - RAW City Guide New York Fashionoffice received the invitation to the G-Star fashion show FW2010/11 on 16 Feb during the New York Fashion Week at the Hammerstein Ballroom. In December 2009, the denim label has invited 2.0 reporters from the social media scene (Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube) under the title ‘RAW 2.0’. The winners of the competition will report from the New York Fashion Week (11th to 18th February), from the After Show Party, from behind the scenes, from everywhere around the G-Star Raw Show. Additionally, G-Star handed out a couple of golden tickets to young bloggers Bryan Boy and Jessie Thorpe. G-Star also announced a free iPhone app: the ’RAW City Guide New York’, which will be updated throughout NYFW by RAW Reporters and the app's users.

Map point - Interactive map at fashion exhibition Fashionoffice received an invitation from the Canadian born, in London based designer Andrew Majtenyi who presents his early 1940s inspired collection with defined shoulders and nipped in waists from 14 to 16 Feb at the next fashion exhibition ‚Pure London’. On the website of Pure London, an interactive floor plan navigates you through the booths.

MUSIC:

User video for the music track 'Never There' by the Sacramento, California, based band Cake. Lead singer John McCrea has directed an original video for the song, but it seems as if he has encouraged some users to publish their own version of the song about long distance and love. Cake's song 'I will survive' is legendary; even the band's original video with John McCrea in the role of a park sheriff hasn't encouraged young directors as much as the 'Never There' one. On last.fm one song leads the ranking above all other: 'The Distance' from the album 'Fashion Nugget' from 1996; www.cakemusic.com.

Documentary from a music tour: by searching a music video for the track in the rocking style of Jimmy Hendrix/Led Zeppelin 'Robbing Banks (Doin' Time)' by 'The Slew' (Canadian turntablist Kid Koala and guitarist Dynomite D with the rhythm makers Chris Ross and Myles Heskett, both from the Australian band Wolfmother), the 'Go Boom for Los Angeles' video showing the band members Adira, Jessi, and Maresa performing on stage has convinced with its humour! The band has posted several videos from the US/Canada tour from fall 2009. The band continues its tour in May 2010 in Australia.

‘My Name is Lion’ by the folk-country-soul Brooklyn band ‘The Morning Pages’ is the first single from the debut album ‘Rising Rain’ which comes out in May 2010. Grant Maxwell’s voice on 'My Name is Lion' makes you think of Neil Young, melodious Antony (from Antony and the Johnsons), and, yes, Zachary Francis Condon from Beirut Band.
