The Little Black Jacket – Magenta 8

Magenta8 08 The Little Black Jacket   Magenta 8

I hate being cold and the cardigan is just a bit too boring for me. Magnet 8 designs tailored evening and day jackets. The jackets are made from Alpaca wool, which is exceptionally soft, warm and very lightweight. Perfect for London weather, where one seems to be constantly layering clothes.

Ada Zanditon Lookbook Shoot

Posted by Rebekah Roy on February 4th, 2009

Ada Zanditon AW09 Ada Zanditon Lookbook ShootThe Incantation of Amergin A/W 09 by Ada Zanditon

Ada Zanditon exhibited in Paris last week at Pret a Porter and it was a success! In previous seasons Ada has done amazing sculptural pieces that are ethically made. I love her dresses and wore one to the Nokia Tube Party. Ada also does illustrations and has designed her very own fabrics for her new collections.

This season she has designed two collections – a ready to wear and a couture collection. She’ll be exhibiting at Estethica at London Fashion Week and her work is amazing!!!

Ada won an award for creativity for her first collection, Emergence, at the Ethical Fashion Show in Paris in October 2008, and has shown the collection at Fashioning the Future Event at London College of Fashion. She’s also showcased in Hangzhou in China.

Ada graduated from the London College of Fashion in 2007 with a first class degree in Womenswear design. Her graduate collection was selected for the Royal Academy press show.

We shot the lookbook for her ready-to-wear collection just a few days ago – it was a great shoot!

The model is L’atesha at IMG and that’s Lan doing the make-up.

Last week we shot William’s pre A/W 09 collection. I was surprised he did a mid season collection as he’s so busy working on his A/W 2009 collection, which he plans to show at London Fashion Week!

Why did you do a pre-collection?

WT – Pre-collection is becoming much more of a focus for buyers, my pre- fall 09 collection will give me an added opportunity to present my label and to find further stockists.  It’s about placing my label more competitively, if I can offer a selection of new styles mid-season then this is great for my customer.

Will you be doing a show at London Fashion Week?
 
WT – Yes, I’ll be showing my Autumn/Winter 09 collection in London next February. I’ll also be going over to Paris Fashion Week at the start of March to sell the collection, dates and locations are all still to be confirmed.


Have you dresses any one famous? Do you do commissions?

WT – I recently dressed Emma Watson for the premier of her new film ‘The Tale of Despereaux’. She heard about me as she came to my show last September. It was a really fantastic opportunity making some pieces for her and she looked absolutely stunning in the outfit she wore, she has the confidence to pull it off!

 
And yes I do take private orders and commissions. I’ve been having quite a lot of interest since I collaborated with Diesel last year and exhibited my work throughout their Kings Road flagship store.
 
Do you have any advice for someone who wants to study fashion?
 
WT – I think you need to really think about what you want in terms of a career before enrolling on a fashion course. There are so many different areas to fashion which is great, but not every position is right for everyone. You shouldn’t enrol on a design course just because you like the idea of it, because what will you do afterwards?
 
Fashion is very competitive and is often extremely hard work for little results. For designers in particular you have to be confident in knowing that this is what you want to do, and be confident in knowing what you are about. You have to be prepared to fight for it and if you’re not hungry you wont go anywhere
