WELCOME TO THE FIRST ISSUE OF OLIVE.
I COULD GO ON ABOUT HOW GREAT THIS MAGAZINE IS AND HOW IT WILL INSPIRE YOU.
BUT YOU CAN JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
EDITOR &FASHION DIRECTOROlivia Anderson
Replace Fear Of The Unknown
With Curiousity.
You may think its crazy that we're still in 2011 and
looking at next years trends, but before you know
it.
It will be 2012 and you'll be moaning that you have
nothing to wear. Fear not! Help is here, we're re-
creating 2012 trends with clothes we have already
now, so you can be in the know, with what clothes
to keep and what to throw out!
Spring/Summer 2012 is all about the woman. Think
1950's but with washed out pastel colours, two
piece clothing, floaty skirts and bra tops.

IF THERE WAS EVER A SPACETO WATCH,THIS WOULD BE IT.
Peace are new band from a great city of musical
background, Birmingham. Having formed in just autumn
of last year from the ashes of previous incarnation
November And The Criminal, the quartet have already
supported the likes of The Vaccines, Tame Impala and
Magic Kids around the UK. The band consists of Harry
Koisser (Lead singer and guitar), Doug Castle (Guitar and
keyboard), Sam Koisser (Bass) and Dom Boyce (Drums).
Their sound, much like these bands they’ve opened for,
is alternative and guitar based: obvious points of refer-
ence are the jerky, stop-start math-rock of Foals and the
pop sensibilities of Mystery Jets, with lead singer Harry
Koisser’s vocals actually bearing much resemblance
to those of Yannis Philippakis’ or Blaine Harrison’s
(potentially a double-edged sword, at least before they
establish themselves).
Peace seems to take everything in they’re stride and
having just supported O.Children’s club night at The
Macbeth in London, they seemed to have settled
themselves in quite nicely within the music scene.
Although they’re still plenty of room for improvement and
for more songs, you can tell that they aim to please each
time they play. After meeting and watching the band play
at Birmingham’s Adam and Eve pub supporting another
up and coming band Troumaca, it’s very obvious to see
that Harry (lead singer) takes it very seriously, after all
he writes, sings and play’s guitar and probably at the
same time, whilst juggling a party life in Birmingham’s
Digbeth Scene.
Peace’s first demo Bblood was released only a few
weeks ago on their Facebook fan page, which has left
fans begging for downloadable material and even
merchandise. I suppose you could say Peace are
waiting for the right moment, and for now
concentrating on playing show’s around the U.K and
writing new material. They have very few songs, enough
to fill an EP which doesn’t sound amazing but great
songs can’t be rushed and each song is one that will
get you wanting more this band. As i said at the start
watch this space.
Peace’s next show will be at The Lock Tavern in London
on the 12th of June for Club The Mammoth’s Sunday
Session. See Facebook for more details

DJ PLAY ME A RECORD
As well as DJ’ing you produce your own stuff, how
long have you done this for and how did it start?
i’ve been producing since i was 16 years old, i used to
produce grime artists, as i had access to a studio at my
college but even though i enjoyed it i was never really my
thing. Now i’ve got my own gear, i concentrate on my
own productions and remixes.
You say you listen to other genre’s of music, what do
you mean by this?
I listen to music from all grenre’s including pop,
Hip-hop, Garage, Indie, hardcore. If you look in my Itunes
you’ll see that theres everything from pretentious minimal
to 90’s pop punk such as Blink-182 or moody hip hop
like Pharcyde. But being an ignorant child born in the
90’s my music knowledge before 1990 is
almost non-existent.
Who have been your favourite guess Dj’s at Face
so far?
This is a hard one, i would have to say Jamie jones
because he always smashes it and Edu Imbernon went
down so well, he became a resident at Face. And
another favourite Claude Von Stroke, his 11 o’clock
was the most energetic 11 o’clock set i’ve ever seen.
Where do you hope to be this time next year?
i’d like to have a vinyl release under my belt and the
opportunity to produce to some of my hero’s as appose
to just performing with them.
Birmingham is well known for producing some of
the hottest Dj's and The Rainbow Pub on Digbeth
is home to plenty of talent. Face has now been voted
number 1 of places to go on a night out, so i sat
down with Resident Dj Bunny myself to get an insight
on being a House Dj for one of the hottest clubs
in Birmingham.
Can you start by saying a little bit about yourself?
My name is Bunny, I’m a Dj/Producer and i’m the
youngest resident at the Birmingham based house
night called Face!
What’s your proudest moment as a DJ to date?
There’s being loads of highlights and i enjoy all of my
sets, my proudest moment was having my first warm up
gig at Face and having it turned into a 3 hour set which
then i was offered my resident place. But i’m sure Ibiza
will top that this summer!
You’re a resident at one of the UK’s most successful
clubnight’s, has being around other successful DJ’s
allowed you to improve?
i wouldn’t say i’ve been directly taught by anyone but
watching, imitating and developing their techniques, i’ve
defiantly learn a lot. I also try and listen to music outside
of dance genres as well as other dance genres to those
that i perform. I suppose this helps me keep an open
mind on music and helps me to experiment with music
i play on my sets.
Apart from Face, what’s your favourite clubnight
in the UK?
Trailer Trash, in London, because when i was an
underage teenager it’s where i had my first experience
with house and techno and all the people there are really
quirky and everyones out for a good time, just an
amazing night.
Breaking into the fashion industry is hard enough
as it is, but running your own online boutique and
selecting the best clothes for customers is even
trickier. Laurie Prescott owner of Bell and smokey
takes some time out to answer a few questions
and give advice on style tips for this season.
Can you tell us a bit more about Bell and Smokey,
where did it all start?
Before moving back to Birmingham a couple of years
ago, I worked in fashion in London and Paris. I was
happy to move back, but when I got here I missed being
able to buy interesting, high quality clothes, the only
choice was just the same as every other high street up
and down the country. It didn’t seem fair that people
outside of the capital couldn’t get access to lovely
clothes, so I decided to do something about it!
Where does your style inspiration come from,
and how would you describe it?
I’m definitely inspired by the European style of
dressing. For me, what you wear should be comfortable
and casual but still look chic and individual. Our blog
showcases our daily inspiration; it includes fashion but
also ranges from architecture to art. I’m also partial to
looks that have a bit of an edge; in my eyes music and
fashion are inextricably linked so the way I dress reflects
the music I love.
Who are favourite designers, style icons?
My favourite designers at the moment are Haider
Ackermann and Damir Dona; both are reinterpreting
classic shapes, proportions and tailoring. Personal style
icons: anyone with lots of hair, big eyebrows and wearing
lots of black.
What does working for Bell and Smokey Involve?
Day to day?
Each day is different; one day I might be researching
new designers, networking to find the latest talent and
organising photoshoots. The next day I’ll be doing the
accounts and chasing suppliers; it’s not all glamorous!
But every day I will be blogging and on twitter without
fail to make sure Bell & Smokey is in touch with our
customers and in touch with the industry.
WHO'S THAT GIRL?
Do you have any style tips?
Never follow trends too dutifully. Be aware of looking like
you’ve just walked into Topshop and bought the entire
shop. Instead show a hint of the look ‘du jour’ but mix
it with your signature pieces so it is still personal to you.
How would you like Bell and Smokey to progress?
I would love the opportunity to invest in more young
designers that don’t have any other outlet to distribute
their clothes. I don’t envisage Bell & Smokey ever
getting too big; the whole ethos of our store is to only
stock a handful of each item to make sure our
collections maintain their individuality. If we are one
day considered to be a platform for unique, wearable
clothes and synonymous with individuality I’ll be happy.
What's the hottest item right now from your store?
Personally I really like The Battalion Black Hoodie with
shoulder pads. It’s made from organic cotton and really
luxurious to the touch but isn’t like your average fairtrade
jacket; it’s a real statement piece. It’s one of the items
that people always comment on!
As we are heading into summer what is your
must have?
Showing your midriff is back in vogue, so it has to be
crop tops. We have some lovely LaMixx crop tops in
store at the moment and if you’re brave enough to work
this trend, they are perfect! Wear them with something
loose fitting and flowing on your bottom half; maybe a
full length mesh skirt. I’m doing my stomach crunches in
preparation already.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
Ideally we’ll have expanded, and I’ll be able to take
holidays. An in-house design team and photographer
would be wonderful too!
One piece of advice you'd give as a part of your
fashion ethos? (meaning one of your rules of style,
e.g never wear flares with cowboy boots haha)
Never wear ugg boots.

NEW YORK 90'S
Here's a sneak preview of what we will be focusing more
on in the next issue of Olive. Autumn/Winter 2012 is
taking the fashion world back to new york city 1990's
style but with a grunge glamour twist. Baggy jumpers
mixed with sheer maxi skirts and baggy band t shirts
and beanie hats for winter. Think of the hit t.v series
Friends the clothes are something to be inspired by.
Doc martens also making a come back but with more
grunge glamour vibe rather than the typical skinhead
style. We also see the tones and colours from Spring/
Summer 2012 turn to a more burnt contrast. The dusty
pastel pinks and blues, turn to to a darker shade, mixed
with plum tones. Taking inspiration from band Nirvana,
Kurt Cobain's effortless "i didn't even comb my hair this
morning" look, mixed with a polished face and baggy
clothes. I think with this trend you wouldn't even have
to buy new clothes, just take any shirts or t shirts your
boyfriend has!
