Fashion East put on quite the installation during the LCM schedule. I always find these presentation things a bit awks, in all honesty, as you blatantly stare at the models as they desperately avoid the 'I know I look like a twat eyes'. All the name of fashion though innit. <span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">After mincing around I implemented my innate journo initiative and grabbed Tom of <a href="http://www.tlipop.com/">t.lipop</a>, while I could, for an interview.</span></div>

I spent my evenings at the headliner shows of Graduate Fashion Week, last week. UCA Rochester was my first real taste of this year's alumni talent. After a FROW upgrade (SCORE) I watched intently as all variety of shape, design, print, cut and colour were paraded before me. The below were my faves.</div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Last
month I was as flattered as I was honoured to be approached by the PR people at
<a href="http://www.cinderelab.com/">Cinderela B</a> – cool name right – to feature the brand on these here very pages.
It is one of the few times I have said yes as I refuse to sell out to brands
that do not fit the interests of the ayduodd readership. Alas, Cinderela B was
not one of these – a scouting of their site and a social media stalking left me
intrigued to discover more. <span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rachel Jackson chanced the designer dream on
what transpired as an epiphanial meeting in South America during a round the
world trip come self-discovery journey. Bourne out of a beginning in east-end
market stalls, Cinderela B has stacked up stockists across the UK, after taking
the leap of faith two years ago. Rachel invited me to her beautiful behind the
scenes.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;">Nestled in the achingly cool, creative confines of a Brick Lane side street, Cinderela B’s hub is perched over Hanover Street, with a convenient or unfortunate (depending how you view it) birds-eye-look-in of YMC which sits opposite.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I was travelling in South America and I met Cinderela and her entire family,” she tells me as we sip breakfast tea from appropriately vintage, china cups. “She had a huge amount of energy and quite randomly she taught me how make to jewellery.” Random it may have been, Rachel never knew jewellery designing was something she had such a burgeoning and innate passion for, although having always considered herself as a follower of fashion.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rachel spent two months with Cinderela’s family, who happened to be the inspiring entrepreneurial sort, honing her new found hobby whilst being bombarded with confidence boosts. Rachel says it made sense to name the brand after this inspirational woman and praises Cinderela’s continued support, insisting she still has input into the brand.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rachel returned to the UK brimming with inspiring ideas and arguably the key concept of the Cinderela B signature: the insect. “Because my initial inspiration was South America –bright colours exotic birds, butterflies – it’s been there right from the start. They remind me of when I was travelling, I felt very free so birds, bees, butterflies remind me of those feelings,” she explains.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As we chat and sip some more it unfolds that
Rachel’s route into the sought-after lifestyle of stocked designer is a long
and winding one: “You’re going to laugh when I tell you this but I actually
did a degree in Sports Science.” Rachel then sided with the business heads and
eventually ended up in various creative media roles.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">It’s an enchanting tale and a refreshingly positive story to hear, especially in these economic climes whereby double-dip recessions have placed creative capabilities in a tenuous position. “Believe in yourself and don’t ever take no for an answer. Talk to people, find out everything you need to know about what it is you want to do and keep going. You just have to go and do it and follow your dreams,” are her precious words of wisdom: duly noted.</span><br />

Rachel says the round-the-clock buzz of Spitalfields attracted her to the East and was where she first tested the waters with the brand. Her five years as a market traded here proved a real test of trial and error: “Often the collections I thought people would love it wasn’t that collection it was something else,” she tells me.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">She
is as much as a sucker for vintage as I am telling me that that strand of the
brand is her favourite to design as she thrives on the buzz of shopping for the
vintage components. Although Rachel proudly says she “loves every single piece
of our jewellery” she does admit to fickle tendancies saying: “<span style="color: #2a2a2a;">I go through phases
of wearing all be a bee one week and then next week I’m onto the pom pom.</span>”
But she is adamant the current collections: classic and vintage are the ones
she’s most pleased with, to date. And rightly so.</span></div>

Five years and counting, has she reached that point
of ‘making it’ every designer longs for? I can gladly say yes she has and it
was not actually that long ago. “I sat in this room just
a couple of weeks ago. It was just an amazing feeling to think ‘wow I can’t
believe this is actually happening’ as a team of people who I love sharing the
dream.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">But
wait I did and that initial pain was soon exchanged for anger, similarly to ‘The
Exclusives’ hash tagged tweets I was reading a few hours previous. Suffice to
say 140 character reviews leave a lot to the imagination so I am (blissfully)
unaware of the consensual response to the show.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The
30 second trailer was enough to garner hate for every single one of them which can confidently be alluded to the poor casting choices exhibited by the explicit stereotypes of the
chosen six– bolshie girls, posh boy, sob-story, he thinks he’s a bit cool older
man etc etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The
first episode shows the stereotyped youths thrown into the deep end (or fashion
cupboard in the case of Felix and Ellie) at More! magazine. Watching a straight
boy get tangled up in a dress (“or is it a sarong?”) in the magazine’s fashion
cupboard was the probable highlight and illustrated exactly why you don’t come
across many male fashion interns – they are clueless. Meanwhile, glamour model (iknowright)
Hayley, lathers Johnson’s onto the torso of some non-list seleb as Stuart (last
chance saloon older man) struggles to understand why said so-called selebz are
worthy of a photo shoot he’s at to steam clothes (“ball ache”) and tie laces,
in the first place. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Granted it’s far
from his ideal job but faaaacking hell I swear the brief featured a requirement
of expertise somewhere. Oh there it is sat comfortably alongside: t<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">enacity, initiative and

the while the other two - sob story (foster kid) and ghetto gal - lament over
transcribing interviews: “I mean I wasn’t expecting to be interviewing

<span style="font-family: inherit;">They
were then told they were going to the Brits, that is, hang around outside the
after parties screaming like banshees to physically grab the attention of
aforementioned non-list celeb’s friends. It transpires Felix cannot use a
dictaphone - major school boy error but it’s fine ‘cos Hayley’s “just happy to
be here.” While Ellie reckons her battle with the paparazzi for a (probably
blurry) photo of Caroline Flack’s legs puts her a cut above the rest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

SO with no time to pap outfit photos and a can't-be-arsed-to-even-get-out-of-bed 'tude that rudely awakens me at 7am, five times a week, I'll let you read something decent I wrote - a introductory profile on <a href="http://www.somamagazine.com/fyodor-golan/">Fyodor Golan</a> for <a href="http://www.somamagazine.com/">SOMA Magazine</a>.<br />

</i></div><div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">With their hearts firmly placed in the British fashion capital, this designer duo from Latvia (Fyodor Podgorny) and Israel (Golan Frydman) were the proud and well deserved winners of the UK’s prestige Fashion Fringe title. One of the highlights of their career, the exposure has garnered this married couple worldwide recognition.</div><div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Their Spring/Summer 2012 collection muses on an oxymoron that reads “flowers of evil.” A notion that is evident instantaneously, then throughout in equal measures, the journey began with Charles Baudelaire’s “Les Fleurs du Mal.” There is more to their decadent designs than a simple strapline however; the undertones of Erdem (namely, flowers and femininity) fused with the overtones of the established Fyodor Golan house style reveal “a purity of shape and form combined with integrity of texture and detail.”</div><div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Golan invites us to follow the remainder of the journey. “We looked at the nature and presentation of Frida Kahlo and Vincent van Gogh and this story was about a nymph-like woman who goes through a painful metamorphosis, like Frida Kahlo did. The collection shows this figure grasping for support, going through a metamorphosis so she actually becomes one with nature, developing her own textures, and she almost develops scales.”</div><div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Having cemented their sought-after place in the luxury arena, their dresses and corsets can only be described as otherworldly, which poses the question, “Who and What is the Fyodor Golan woman?” Apparently, “she is unafraid of showing both her sensitive and strong sides,” dichotomies such as these seemingly sewn into the fabric of Fyodor Golan’s every creation and inspiration. Conflicts—both creative and personal—provide the designers with their work ethic. “We love to explore opposites rather than similarities, it’s just something that is a part of our brand. We’re like Jekyll and Hyde.” These contrasting ideas are at the heart of a brand philosophy that is summed up in just three words: “expressive, emotional and sexual.”</div><div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Expect to see their take on ‘Russian peasants’ in every stitch of their Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, with inspiration derived from the most unexpected of places, from aristocracy to insects.

</span></i></div><em><span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Less street style snippet, more street style show. Roberto Piqueras invited to us a Bethnal Green estate, Friday afternoon to scout some serious street, street wear, styled by our very own Queen of fabulousness, <a href="http://www.alexisknox.com/">Alexis Knox</a>. In true Planet Notion style, we stuck around afterwards to speak to the man himself about loving the east as much as us. And the show ofc.</span></em> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>Planet Notion: There’s a good crowd here, props for a first show. How d’you feel it went?</strong>Robert Piqueras: Thank you! Yeah, really excited. I’m feeling really well, yeah it was a good show.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>PN: You should be! What initially attracted you to London?</strong><br />
RP: Well, I was attracted to London a long time ago when I was seventeen, I think. I was obsessed with London but I had also been here at different times as I was travelling around. Not the world because I was living in Mexico, Madrid and Barcelona. So I was thinking ‘OK before I go to London, I need to see the rest of the world’.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>PN: And here you are today. What, in particular, is it about East London that you like?</strong>RP: I think the most important is the people. People’s style but not just the styling. When you are walking through Bethnal Green Road, you know, you can feel everyone’s particularity with himself and they are not looking at you or they don’t really gossip about what you are doing. Its very personal and independent. So that’s what I was doing with the street show – to show that kindof East London freedom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>PN: What elements of London do you incorporate into your designs?</strong>RP: For example, in the last collection I used the Barcelona Olympics, that you probably wont remember, from 1992. So for example, talking about London I was using the face of the queen with diamonds in the eyes and Big Ben but because I know London is something different for me than the rest of the world – its more about the queen and Big Ben. So its like OK, I want to use that but do it in my own way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>PN: On the subject of Barcelona, how do your designs identify with the city?</strong><br />
RP: Its more not in the actual prints but you can see it in the shapes. I’m feeling more comfy because usually I’m talking about clothes to go to the beach, just walking or sportswear so that’s kind of my identity with Barcelona.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>PN: What made you make the transition from menswear to unisex to womenswear?</strong><br />
RP: Well, for example, in this show I think I separated the womenswear and menswear more so but usually I’m talking in unisex because when I’m designing I’ve got those kind of patterns – its very similar but it depends. If you’re putting a woman in it works in a way and if you’re putting a man in it, it works in a different way. So that’s what I’m talking about when I say unisex – it depends who’s wearing the clothes, not like, I’m not working with the silhouette of women or men.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>PN: With that in mind, when designing do you not envisage a particular type of person?</strong><br />
RP: Well, yeah and no. Usually, I’m thinking about what kind of clothes am I wearing, my friends or what’s around me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>PN: And who would you most like to see wearing your clothes?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">RP: Do you know the blogspot, studioboyo? Its a blogspot about menswear – very East London style. So, because in wonderland magazine they asked me the same and I said the guys in this blogspot. That would be amazing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong>PN: Fingers crossed for you, one day!</strong><br />
RP: <em>Laughs</em>. Yeah that would be amazing.</span><br />

In conjunction with the fashion goings-on of central LDN, Bourjois have set up camp in an east London bar to offer you 65% off all products, freebie hair styling, manicures and make-overs. If you're in the area, it's worth a gandz. You might even see a cee-leb - Jameela Jamil was filming for T4 t'other day so if you're into the whole celeb-spotting thing, scout it out.<br />
