EDITORS NOTES
B
ringing my final year fashion collection to the market with the use of a traditional media.
Over the past months whilst writing, editing and designing this magazine. There has been a lot of ups and downs, but that’s what pushes me to do my best work. I’ve really enjoyed creating this magazine, it pushes me out of my comfort zone on many occassions, but overall i’m extremely proud of the wokr i’ve achieved. Process of elimination was a huge step i had to take as i needed the title of this magazine ‘Culture Clash’ to reflect what was featured inside. ‘Culture Clash’ issue to include, Spanish Culture, Spotlights on Murcia, Interviews, Spanish designer brand advertisements, ‘Detoxing – A Social Media Overdose’.

Por Que España? Why Spain?
S
pain has a freedom and natural beauty in every aspect of the country that I crave for. I’ve been visiting Spain with my family since I was one years old, over the years it’s shown me the different layers of Spain. Whether that’s the charismatic culture, their powerful religion, historical architecture or the tranquil people and atmosphere. One of my favourite things about Spain is the architecture, it’s very raw and undisturbed. Even when it has been disturbed by graffiti, it adds an artistic flare added by the younger generation and a burst of colour, that lays over faded but beautiful buildings. In the photo on the left, I visited an amphitheatre located in Cartagena, Murcia - which was built by the Romans between 5 and 1bc. During the Punic War, a lot of Spanish land was taken over by the Romans and their architecture the built over hundreds of thousands of years still remains.

ostada has a lot of diffferent meanings and comes in different varieties. ‘Tostada’ means toast in Spanish. Possibly one of the most simple dish in Spain, consists of fresh toasted bread with puree tomatoes and olive oil, seasoned with salt and garlic. Very easy to make and my favourite spanish breakfast.

Creative director of Spanish luxury house, LOEWEAnderson was born in the town of Magherafelt in Northern Ireland in 1984. Since 2013, under Loewe’s creative director, Jonathan Anderson, the brand has started a new chapter, presenting itself to the world as a house focused on craft and culture; evidenced through an intellectual approach to fashion, bold and vibrant Spanish lifestyle, and special attention to leather. Loewe who are very Spanish and traditional, all about craftsmanship and reflecting Spanish culture within their work, for them to hire an Irish designer as their creative director is a huge clash. Jonathan Anderson is a contraversial designer, who owns his own fashion brand called jwanderson. Many brands have done this and it makes for a very successful brand and their future. Having an international audience for Loewe is extremely important as their core consumers was a very orthadox spanish audience. Many brands do this, for example Tom Ford helped Gucci, Virgil Abloh helped Louis Vuitton and Karl Lagerfeld helped Chanel - ‘helping’ these brands by gaining a much larger audience and new consumers. Relationships between the brand and creative director are extremely important and can either make or break a brand’s image.

INTERVIEW
“What’s your story? How did it get you where you are today?” “Its an honour to be recognised and asked, thank you. Wow ok what a first question i could probably answer this one question and have the whole interview over in one answer. Born in Bristol in a time where my fathers generation were dealing with a Britian that still allowed ‘NO BLACKs, NO IRISH and NO DOGs’ signs on their bed and breakfast/hostels and hotels. I was very fortunate to have followed that generation being the new Britans that now integrate with the power of music. Growing up listening to a collective of both white and black music. Being mixed race i would get to listen to David Bowies/Dolly Parton/Dire Straights of my mother and the Bob Marley/James Brown/ Jimmy Cliff of my father. Growing up in the UK in the 70s there were national front groups/skin heads punks and rockers. We actually all went to school together and it would only be inevitable and a question of time when instead of being in groups, through music we all became one. New forms of fashions styles and attitudes were emerging, MODs punk or Rude boys seem to be the tomorrow of yesterday’s limited mind set. Progression would always break through! I remember fashion being a mix of all these styles above and we would wear our clothes mix matching, which took away the stereo type powers it might have meant to have your doc martin boots with black or yellow laces
For me music is exactly the same. My influences at this time were The Specials, The Who, Madness, ub40, Inni Komoze, Gregory Iisaks and James Brown. From a poor but proud family, we moved from Bristol when i was around 10 years old, did my last school years in Oxford and when i was old enough i moved back to Bristol as for me, Bristol had so much more going on than oxford and it allowed me to be more expressive. Finishing school with dance qualifications i use to be heavy in to hiphop graffiti and break dance. I joined a group of guys and we use to watch grandmaster flash scratch two turn tables and that quickly became the next progression for me. Learning to master my skills on record turntables is was soon evident that the next natural step would be to produce. At the same time i was still trailing back and forth from Oxford to Bristol and playing for various reggae sound systems as their DJ as they normally didn’t mix so they would ask me to come and spin their tunes for them. Musical influences by this time were things like Public enemy, 80s pop, Chicago house music, dance hall, King Tubby, Michael Jackson, Def Jam, Electro albums, Ultimate Breaks and Beats albums.” In the same years along with Judge, Krust and brother, Flynn and with the help of me one of the most important reasons i am where i am today ‘SMITH N MIGHTY’.
24 (DJ SUV INTERVIEW)
V
(DJ SUV INTERVIEW) SMITH N MIGHTY were and maybe still are the hub and central part of many groups to have come out of Bristol. They helps us produce our first music and we hit top of the pops in 1989 the group name was the ‘FRESH FOUR’ and the track was the first known TRIP HOP track called ‘IM WISHING ON A STAR’. Having this success in Bristol was a big thing and a flood of groups of followed us were: Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky and many others. These were amazing days for me having my picture taken by Herb Britz, modelling for Gap, having my face on the side of double decker buses in London.This was massive for four ghetto kids. Not having any experience at that time in the monster of a record industry that it was,we were ripped off by managers and sharks that came down from London to sign the UK’s next best thing .
25
This music originally came from a RAVE generation of kids that wanted to be free and in a way unleashed from their systematic shackles of rules. I used to hang with my mates, go to raves, listen to the music and imagine what i would do with that track if i were to make it and so did exactly that. Being a DJ and having some knowledge of how to move a crowd,knowing when and how long you want your intros and outros was a massive advantage. It was now 1994 and another group was being formed the name of the group was ‘RONISIZE REPRAZENT’.This was the group name and maybe one of the reasons the group no longer exists but this new project became the biggest drum n bass group to today to walk this planet. We released an album called ‘NEW FORMS’ and then a second album called ‘IN THE MODE’. Which won the mercury prize in 1997, we went on to tour the world until around 2006 where we all went our separate ways . Now i am currently running my own labels/ events/festivals/writing for TV whilst living in Spain and showing others what i can when i can and helping up and coming artist giving the next generation a platform to expose their talents. 26
BRISTOL DJ LIVING IN SPAIN.
We all had a roller coaster of a ride and at the ages of 19, i had experienced and traveled to places my father had not in his whole life time. Eventually due to the lack of knowledge of how business was best ran, the group came to an end. None of this success was planned and we all continued to use our skills, when times were changing and new technologies were being invented. The ages of the sampler took the music studio to another place, chopping out bits and pieces from other music to make your own, was a new form of music was being born - Jungle/Drum n bass.

This youthful designer jewellery brand is the creation of Patricia Nicolás who, steeped in the world of fashion and design from a young age (her parents run their own jewellery brand Nicol’s), launched her eponymous label in 2006 after finishing her studies at Central St Martin’s in London. Her designs are bold and playful, suggestive of pop-culture, not afraid to draw attention… and, by and large, affordable thanks to her collaboration with high-street giant Topshop.

Louise Brassington INTERVIEW
Interview So how long have you been going to Spain Louise? So I moved there when I was 4 and then moved back to derby when I was 18 for university. Now I go for the holidays so Christmas, Easter and summer. Oh awesome! So you actually grew up there! Can you speak Spanish? Have you visited a lot of different cities in Spain? Yes i do. Yes, I’ve been to the main ones so Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia then I’ve been to murcia and Cadiz. I live in Torrevieja. What made you/your family move to Torrevieja? My dad has a farming business with his brother who sadly passed away so the brothers son took over and wanted to sell the farm so instead of just looking for a house and a job in England my parents decided to go to Spain. They went on one of those holidays where you go and look at houses abroad not thinking about putting a deposit down or anything and then whilst they were there they really liked it and put a deposit down on a house Have you ever had a job in Spain? What was that like? Was it mainly spanish customers or english? There was a mixture of both. We had regular Spanish customers who had purchase an annual pass then people from Madrid who came to torrevieja for the summer and then English people that came for holidays. We also had quite a lot of French. I worked 2 summers so 3 months one year and another 3 the next Awesome! Did you have any Spanish friends growing up? Did they identify as Catholic’s? 35
Louise Brassington INTERVIEW
Louise Bra 36
Yes I did. And yes they were catholic. They have their first communion which is very important and they invited me to some of their first communions And do you feel a strong catholic presence where you live in spain? Yeah I did. Yes, especially in the town centre, a lot of the Spanish were catholic and I did religious studies at school which included catholicism. During Easter they have Semana Santa which I participated in for 3 years. Although I am Church of England and attended an English church I was still allowed to carry out that practice with the catholic’s The only thing I found very different to my religion was how they heavily praise the Virgin Mary rather than god. In Church of England the praise is very much to Jesus and god and not so much Virgin Mary so I found that difficult to understand. But as I mentioned before in the Semana Santa we carry big thrones which biblical characters on.

DETOXING A Social Media Overdose

Although social media can connect people from all over the world to provide a strong sense of community, rates of anxiety and depression in young people have increased by 70% over the last 25 years.
CULT
URE! CLASH CLA! Generation z is a demographic cohort that have used digital technology since a young age and are advanced when using the internet and social media. This is a problem, as ‘a full third of generation z seems to be emotionally impacted in some way by the thousands of posts they are viewing online.’ Mental health is a very serious issue and is increasing, due to the digital age and new technologies becoming overwhelming. Studies show that people are becoming more and more isolated due to social media as social networking is having a reverse effect, as people are no longer socially involved. Companies like Pretty Little Thing, Boohoo and others who are mainly online, use psychology to try and rush and put online shoppers under pressure to buy items, using promotions that are set for a limited time, this is another way stress is integrated into our everyday lives.
