SS ’12
My Scottish Talent at
London FASHION WEEK BY: JESS WU
Every season at London Fashion Week, it is ever-more exciting to see designers hailing from Scotland popping up more often. From the more established and now household names such as Christopher Kane and Jonathan Saunders to those like Holly Fulton, who recently caught the attention of the fashion elite and have maintained critical acclaim at London Fashion Week, home-grown talent has gone from strength to strength. Not to say that I am merely getting patriotic, of course, but from the SS12 London catwalks and the excitingly large collection of Scottish designers on show at the exhibition, now is a perfect time to stop and take notice of what they have to offer. The selection of designers shows that there is no overarching “Scottishness” which defines them (there is no excessive use of tartan or highland imagery) and their influences are suitably varied, which means their main similarities are great innovation and design.

Bebaroque & PPQ The design duo’s unique leg and body wear has been gaining recognition since the label started in 2007. The collaboration with PPQ for their SS12 collection resulted in an excitingly bold array of colourful and intricate prints. The combination of the two distinctive styles was not too overpowering and surprisingly cohesive. The embroidery details from Bebaroque on some of the garments show the depth of the collaborative effort for the capsule collection, and that it was not just PPQ garments couple with Bebaroque tights.The light, pastel palette is an obvious one for the Spring season, but the interesting patterns and pops of brighter colours keep this collection fresh and fun. No matter how fun it looks on the catwalk, though, I would still keep double denim at arms length - even with pretty embroidery.
Holly Fulton Strong collections and a distinctive style means that Holly Fulton is one of the hottest tickets at London Fashion Week, showing at the main BFC show space. With whispers of Gianni Versace as an inspiration for the collection before the show began, it was clear that Fulton would not be changing her bold aesthetic any time soon. Working out the influences behind Fulton’s collections has never been particularly difficult. Although she creates beautifully abstract and geometric patterns as her most recognisable trait, the rest is much more literal. For SS12, Fulton takes us to the beach - bright, sunny yellows, seashell embellishments and jazzy swimwear means no one had to read the show notes. The splashes of aquamarine blue was just sporadic enough to keep it on the right side of chic and wrong side of garish, while the abundance of loose trousers, flirty skirts and dresses make this a very desirable Spring collection indeed.
Christopher Kane The ethereal and luminescent quality of Kane’s SS12 offering is extraordinary to say the least, the lightest watercolour shades with the slightest slashes and origami shapes make the dresses look as though they’ve been made by paper folded into shape. The colour palette then moves into bolder, floral prints onto skirt suits. The patterns are reminiscent of young girls in sun dresses and hot summers, with the “ghost fabric” he uses on some garments adding to the nostalgic effect. The look is further emphasised by the flat, comfortable sandals worn by the models in matching shades and patterns of the outfits. So it should come as no surprise that part of the inspiration for the collection comes from the innocence of youth, although the rest is perhaps not so obvious. Despite the otherwordly and serene quality of the materials and the garments themselves, the young girls Kane found inspiration from were those photographed in council estates, with peeling wallpaper behind them. Just imagine what he could do if he ever found inspiration from a floating plastic bag...
Jonathan Saunders
The use of interesting colour combinations came to the fore for designers’ SS12 collections, and Saunders was no exception. Another designer taking us to the water, with the yellow tones of sand and bright green and blues to reflect the sea. Unlike Fulton, whose seaside girl is firmly rooted in the UK (after apparently spending all her money on clothes, hence the staycation), Saunders takes us to sunny South Beach in Miami. The sixties silhouette and patterns are updated by modern, minimalist cuts which ensures that the garments never look frumpy. A feminine look is created with knee-length dresses and high necklines, which shows that you can look good covered up - a great look for Scottish summers.The colours used, whilst almost clashing, never do, and the designer invites you to combine them in ways you may not have tried otherwise. Hopefully this heralds the end of ‘safe’ colour blocking options like pink and orange. Try pastel blue with red, green, pink and orange instead.
Louise Gray One of my favourite elements of Spring collections is the experimental use of colour that most designers are tempted to engage in one way or another. Whether it’s light pastels or bold primary colours, the Spring palette can definitely be more exciting than the autumnal, dark hues. Louise Gray is unlike most designers. Her creations are an array of technicolour wonder, regardless of the season. While most people may not be completely eager to wear a pink flower suit jacket with matching shorts, the pieces on their own are very wearable indeed, and anyone can get away with a boldly coloured or brightly coloured dress in high summer. It’s more than just colour that’s interesting with Gray’s garments. Her creative use of cuts and asymmetry in her designs means if you are wearing one of pieces in an ensemble, it will definitely be the standout piece.
About Candleriggs Market, Vivienne Westwood experience, Sex and the City label, and…

Marc with
ROSS BY: KASIA MROCZKOWSKA
PHOTOGRAPHY: ANIA MROCZKOWSKA
If you consider yourselves to be “fashion fanatics”, or you think you know everything about Sex and the City, or you simply like discovering new and interesting talents, but for some reason, you haven’t heard about Marc Ross extremely talented, young fashion designer from Scotland ; it is high time to find out more about the man behind amazing dresses…
All Garments by: Marc Ross www.marc-ross.co.uk Model: Bo @Colours Make up & Hair: Judith Soltesz @ Facebook
When trying to find out what your “fashion-related, handson experiences” were, before you became Marc Ross label, I often came across these two “key-facts”: First: as a schoolboy you helped your mum with selling clothes at Candleriggs Market in Glasgow, at that time you also got your first experience in pattern cutting. Second: many years later you trained as pattern cutter at Vivienne Westwood. If you were to compare these two, totally different types of your “fashion related experience”, and the impact they had on you as a fashion designer, what would you say? Both have had an equal impact on my life, if I am honest. Growing up I was always encouraged by my parents to work hard, and if I wanted to achieve something then I could achieve it through hard work, therefore working at Candleriggs market really instilled in me a way from the age of 11 that things in life don’t come easy. If you want it, you need to push for it yourself. I was working weekends on the market getting up early in the morning, and finishing late at night selling clothes. This went on for as long as I can remember, but at that time I was so determined about making money than anything else. Not only that, this experience allowed me to meet so many different people from various walks of life, that really opened my eyes to the broad spectrum of people that you can surround yourself with. This experience really made my mind up that I wanted to work with clothes, however I am sure that when I was getting up at 6 in the morning and standing in a freezing cold market selling 3 T-shirts for £10,
I probably wasn’t thinking that I would be making my own in years to come. It is an experience that I never wish to forget, as it put me in the right direction, and instilled in me, that hard work does pay off. Westwood was a completely different experience for sure. Don’t be kidded, it is not as glam as people may be led to believe. It is hard work, long hours, and at times thankless; but when you are so passionate about a brand and its innovative ideas, then you are glad to be a part of it, and to have experiences like this in your life… The wealth of knowledge and experience received at Westwood has set me up for life. It has instilled a strict way of working in me when it comes to my own label that I am sure will stick with me when my brand grows. This experience was the first time, when I actually sat up, and thought, that maybe I did have some talent that people believed in. The industry is so cut- throat, and it is as simple as this: if you can’t cut it, then you are out; so it has made me aware that you cannot get complacent in this career. “Sex and the City fashion designer” is the label that people tend to attach to your name, how do you feel about it? Yeah, I know that seems to be something that is attached to my name... Well, what can I say really? I think it speaks for itself, to be honest. And it is probably one of the biggest things to be a part of. It is a movie that we all loved and watched a million times, therefore to have a hand in creating something so amazing, makes me proud.
At some point you decided to move out from the big city, London, the undeniable fashion capital, and to come back to your home town in Scotland. It seems quite uncommon move for young and fast developing fashion designer; what exactly made you come back to Scotland? Do you consider this move to be the right decision? Designers and creatives within Scotland have this impression that as soon as they finish college or university, they need to move down south. This is exactly what I did, and yeah, I am glad I did it, and the wealth of experience I gained through various studies, jobs and projects will stay with me for life. Living in any big city is not always easy at times, never mind living in the fashion capital. I needed to move back to Scotland to focus on my own brand and this was a decision that I did not make lightly; yet at the same time have no regrets doing. I was at a stage in my life where I was partying way too much, and as a result I lost a bit of direction. I never intended to stay this length of time in Scotland. I wanted to move back, recharge my batteries and move again, but it amazed me how much the fashion scene in Scotland had grown since I moved away, and it really got me thinking that I could base myself in Scotland, and have a presence in London; and that’s what I set out to do and have achieved. I also wanted to put Scotland on the map as the place where creative talent can live, work and develop, and most importantly be recognized for its wealth of creative talent that just gets overlooked. My intentions are to create a platform for designers to get their names out there, and I will be doing so by holding design and pattern cutting courses from my studio. And not only this, I have, with three other designers in Scotland – Emily Lamb, Di Gilpin and Iona Crawford, formed Design Collective Scotland. This acts as a platform for creatives like myself to be able to show at events such as London Fashion Week and events on an international level. As I mentioned, there is a wealth of talent within Scotland, and it is refreshing to see that some of the best designers at the moment are coming from Scotland, and I am sure that this will continue to be the case.
What is definition of fashion by Marc Ross? Fashion is a way for one to express oneself. It allows your personality to come to the surface. I don’t think you can define fashion really, as it comes in so many different forms, and people’s opinions of fashion will never be the same, but that is the beauty of it. Who wants everyone to be the same? Who wants everyone to have the same opinion. Fashion is an expression of an individual What is so special about leather that makes you love this very fabric? Well, I can just say that I am not into anything kinky. I get asked this so many times, but trust me, I am not. For me, leather is the closest thing to your own skin, the only thing is you can’t dye or add a patent look to your own skin... I think it is such a great fabric to work with, and the garments, that one can create using it, are amazing. My latest thing is laser cutting, and leather is perfect for this. The outcome is just “wow”. What was your favourite part of London Fashion Week 2011? Favourite part of London Fashion Week was living with three other designers in the Designers House. The laughs we had over the week was so much fun... On a personal level being able to see my garments on show, and the feedback that I received, really gave me the confidence that I needed to take my brand to the next level. Being able to connect with press, buyers and editors in order to build up business relations was so beneficial. I also can’t miss out my party in London; the great response that it has received still gives me goose bumps.

Lust
FOR WORDS BY: DANIEL H. TAYLOR
Revenge has cast fire in London tonight, Remorse is burning. For there is no remorse in these actions, Committed by those who Like sinister snakes in the grass of deceit Hide behind a veil of good intention, Only to spit their venom Like rocks, bottles and fire Against the buildings and beings, Institutions and their hands. As punishment for the crime Of doing what is right against what is wrong, For fighting for good against bad.
Revenge has painted London tonight, Blood is the paint. For there was blood spilt in the course of these actions, That sought to restore the order of chaos. Red is the splattering’s on the floor Next to bottle, rock and broken glass. Red is the blazing fire against the black sky, Raging into the night amidst the rubble. Red is in the name, the banner and the eyes, Of the ideals that crusade for ‘justice.’ Red is the colour of the tape, That will dress this destruction like a scar. Red was the colour of the bus, Now a grey charcoal remain that catches flight in the wind.
Revenge has spoken in London tonight. Violence is the orator. For all other voices were, in these actions, Drowned out and crushed by the fist of rage. The avenged think they have had the last word, And now they sit and laugh at the news roll, Congratulatory, content but complacent. Counting their stolen money, wearing their stolen clothes, Sitting on stolen carpets and eating stolen food. And it will fall to the brave and the honest To mend the tattered communities and reputations, That were wounds torn open by hyhenas of the night. And it will be the battered, the bruised the bloodied and the robbed, The safe, the innocent, the unaware and the general all That will clean up this mess and pay for this vengeance. And so, They will think they have won. That they have taught a good lesson. That they have a right and their rights will protect them. And maybe so. But with their sticks of anger, They have merely poked out the eye Of the good, honest and innocent people. For that is their wish, That they may continue their wickedness Out of sight but in front of our eyes. Hope now That the justice they receive does not poke out theirs Nor the justice they don’t receive ours So that we all end up blind. Because in the end, There is a lesson for us all to learn. And it will take all of us, With all our eyes, Working together, To fix this.

Regrets ?
THEY DON’T MEAN A THING BY: GM CASEY
I used to think that things can’t all be good at the same time. If you have a nice home and nice job you will be single. If you have a nice boyfriend and job you will have a rubbish flat etc. The idea that something always has to go wrong, that there is a catch, has stayed with me all through my twenties. Call me pessisistic. I am. Now on the brink of 30 I am beginning to realise that what I first thought I appreciated I have really been taking for granted. I’m not going to harp on about ‘the little things’ everyone knows what they should think about that, but I want to concentrate on the crap stuff. The microwave meals for one. The damp ridden flat. The cheating boyfriend. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, clichéd but entirely true. There is positivity in every bad situation as much as it doesn’t seem like it sometimes. And it’s because the lessons they teach you are more help in life than just coasting along. I have been through ( put myself through?) my fair share of crap these past ten years. And somethings I have learned, and somethings I will probably do again- though hopefully not many.
I’d rather not, for example be told what to wear or who to be friends with by anyone -Bit standard that one. I’d be happy never having to throw a junkie out of my close again, and being held responsible for the general public’s monetary disasters on the end of a phone I will do without. But I know that each of these situations has helped me in some way to become the person I am. That’s why I’m of the opinion that there’s no time for regrets. Apart from that hip hop phase, that we can wipe. I am now confident in finding somewhere to live that is; secure – no locks drawn on in sharpie, dry – the weather in Glasgow does not make a drenched tenement an acceptable living space, and generally free from unpleasant things. Although there is something in the attic I can hear at night... I won’t stay in a job I hate, and if find myself in one and feel the need to rant about it I will look for another, hopefully better for my mental health. I have learned that being THAT one who points out blatant wrongs in company policy while in their employment does not get you ahead. And that, unfortunately, the customer is always right. Even when they’re clearly not. In that murky field of choosing a man however I am still as clueless. The goalposts in that game move all the time. Maybe they should all wear badges that descriptively state who they are ; • • • • • •

My Sub Th articles
CULTURE BY: MIKE LEBOWSKI
This is part 2 of Part 2, whilst part 1 of Part 2 never existed.
This event occurs after part 1 of Bad Science, whose part 2 was destroyed. Yet part 2 of Part 2 currently exists as a prequel to part 1 of Part 2. So as I wash the little viscous mixture of Plasma, Platelets and white blood cells into a hot bath filled with Lavender scented bubbles, you need to know that part 2 of Part 2 occurs somewhere after part 1 of Bad Science and before part 1 of Part 2. Its romance, you see. Watching the cool, brisk arterial effluence spin with the hot liquidity surrounding my skin, fills the soul with a quiet whimpering pride. Like dancers on a cool northern sea breeze. As the heat further exudes the exsanguination whilst intensifying the partisan of weeping lacerations, I take it as an excuse for self-admonishment. I take it as an excuse that, I did the right thing. ‘Right’ is an odd term, as opposed to wrong? I guess it all depends on your viewpoint. From the Gentleman’s point of view, I’m in the wrong. To him, I’m simply the guy he never met before, who popped by to visit and who drove their thumbs into both his eye sockets.
From my point of view, he was the nuisance and the cause of what was fully versed upon in part 2 of Bad Sciences, which was destroyed- and later described, eloquently, in part 1 of Part 2, which doesn’t exist. Many find the term ‘nuisance’ unfitting towards what was a callas and macabre act of murder, however the ‘Many’ haven’t had to scrap another Gentleman’s blood from their own skin nor have they had to pick Eyelashes out, like splinters, which have embedded themselves underneath my Thumb nails. Nuisance is a fitting word. I don’t mind the Eyelashes, a bit of pain never bothered me, I’ve always been a bit of a closet masochist, for example: People always say there’s nothing worse than losing a sneeze, well, I’m the guy who loses them on purpose. Because I deserve to be punished. But the blood... You can’t wash blood off, you only dilute it. Underneath the secret apparatus of the skin lies a biological fluid more troublesome than any Oil based paint. And after what I was driven to do towards our mysterious Gentleman, I guess this makes me an artist. The banging on the front door intensifies with pulsating ferocity, I guess if I’m the artist in this truthful novella, then the individuals on the other side of the door are simply the critics. Critics who don’t see the beauty in discovering a terrifying database of experiments leading up to something big, that has taken those involved over 20 years to research and putting an end to the project through the artful gouging of a very forgetful human being. This article is what’s known in the writing business as the bridge.This article leads you coherently from a laboratory in part 2 of Bad Sciences, which was destroyed, to part 1 of Part 2, which never existed, that opened up in a jail cell. This is a true story, in its entirety- Apart from one specific little detail; In part 1 of Bad Sciences, I never did receive any envelope.

The Peripatetic School: Itinerant drawing from Latin America Brigida Baltar, Jose Tony Cruz, Andre Komatsu, Mateo Lopez, Jorge Macchi, Gilda Mantilla and Raimond Chaves, Nicolas Paris, Ishmael Randall Weeks Curated by Tanya Barson, Curator of International Art, Tate Modern Drawing Room, London: 22 September-13 Nov 2011 Private view 21 September 6-8pm
This group of artists from across Latin America share an engagement with the landscape, whether urban or rural. More specifically, they are concerned with travelling or moving through the landscape, and frequently with walking, which is combined in their work with diverse approaches to drawing. Images that are the result of itinerancy or nomadism, places, scenes and things observed along the way, abound. They journey out of the studio, into the neighbourhood, the city, the territory or entire continent beyond, in a manner that evokes by turns Surrealist, Borgesian or Situationist metropolitan perambulation, or exploration in wilderness spaces. The individual bodies of work de-stabilise assumptions about the continent. They present instead individual testaments to the extraordinary heterogeneity of its people, culture, languages, cities and landscape. These artists address the actions taken by man in the world, his passage through the landscape and impact upon it. Often, they themselves conduct journeys or undertake residencies as a form of aesthetic nomadism. Symptomatic of this itinerant tendency is their frequent recourse to drawing. Drawing has always been the most portable medium, the fundamental exploratory tool to which the artist returns time and again. However, for these artists, drawing has become a focus of expanded practices that engage with the landscape and culture as a subject and source for exploration, as well as philosophical speculation. Not only do they explore the world at large, but simultaneously the parameters of drawing itself, often using unconventional materials or strategies. These artists seek to blur the traditional boundaries between media categorisations; work on paper becomes sculptural object and simple line drawing becomes video animation. Drawing travels off the page and into the environment itself.
Andy Julia
VERSAILLES Secret Exhibition October, 13th - November, 26th 2011 Andy Julia has won the heart of Versailles and succeeded in reveal its privacy. Far from the sophistication and magnificence of Versailles, we discover in these pictures the breath of a late nineteenth century athmosphere. Beyond the codes and rules of the Royal Court, Andy Julia sneaked in the private apartments of Marie Antoinette. He achieved an exceptional tribute to Rose Bertin, Queen’s Minister of Fashion, creator of “Haute Couture”. Art photography or Fashion photography ? The categories fade and reborn, through the black and white palett of Cecil Beaton and Pre-Raphaelite’s sense of beauty, revealing a photographic approach firmly contemporary of one of the most beautiful monuments in the world.
