BLOGS VS MAGAZINES

With the increasing use of technology what does the future hold for print?

By Stephanie Aboagye & Nadia Shaikh

Fashion magazines have been in the pub-lic eye since before time, blogs on the oth-er hand have recently become extremely popular; especially amongst the young and fashionable. So why has blogging suddenly become such a craze? Here we look at the advantages and disadvantages of blogs and fashion magazines, an their similarities. Fashion magazines have been celebrated, collected and cherished by devoted readers and fashion lovers for years. They are seen to be special to many; the majority of the public find a hard copy of the magazine appealing and find it makes it more enjoyable to read. In today’s society, there has been an increas-ing trend in blogging. As fashion blogs are digital they have a very different effect.First and foremost, it’s important to note that blogs are accessible to virtually anyone; they can be created by anyone in the

matter of minutes. Fashion blogs are essen-tially your personal thoughts on what you do or don’t like within any particular topic. Fashion blogs have a number of influenc-es, but key contributors are well established fashion magazines such as Bazar and Vogue. Magazines such as these have also invested much time, effort and financeinto their own websites to create fun, infor-mative fashion blogs.Although deadlines are given to high-end fashion magazines, it takes a long process for the content to be brought together; before it is published to the world. Alexandra Shul-man, stated that photo-shoots were a ‘night-mare’ and that they had to begin preparing, organizing and completing the magazines content in May, for the issue that’s due out in August. She has further said that it is a nev-er-ending process and that the industry

BLOGS VS MAGAZINES

never sleeps. Bloggers on the other hand are able to update their blogs quickly and efficiently, anywhere and at anytime. For example, when a blogger attends fashion week, they can take as many photos as they want and then put them onto their blogs immediately. On the other hand, when an editor of a magazine or a team mem-ber attends, they would take around 1000 photos and then an then images could be se-lected for their magazine. It would be a much longer process in comparison to bloggers. The majority of people begin their blogs as hobbies, and so the pieces are often more opinionated; they lack the detail that maga-zines provide.Blogs have to be nurtured until they flourish and become more established. In order for blogs to gain recognition however, they must be promoted and name checked, similar to

magazines. The educated professionals work-ing for the industry have much knowledge and information about their line of work, thus providing thorough, detailed articles. Although there is a strong competition be-tween the two, its difficult to say whether or not fashion blogs can really compete with well established fashion magazines. The magazines are ultimately a business, not only providing a team of professionals with jobs but also generating a financial income. Al-though some blogs generate an income, not all do. The cost of putting a magazine together fur-ther adds to the costs, which differs depend-ing on the style and fashion the magazine chooses to create. Photo-shoots, are known to be very expensive however, exception-al imagery is produced as a result. Whereas blogs are inexpensive, as they only require

one person to add to it, as oppose to a team. In fashion magazines it is often noted that mod-els have to be particular for different pho-to-shoots, whereas in fashion blogs the mod-el doesn’t have any particular requirements. Another notable element within magazines, are the extravagant clothing and settings that are used in the photo-shoots. Fashion blog-gers on the other hand predominantly take pictures of people that are uniquely dressed; projecting their own sense of individuality and self-identity. With the ever expanding growth of technol-ogy, electronic platforms such as the Ipads, Ipods and smartphones all allow you to buy magazines as a subscription and access it on-line. Blogs are similar in this respect; they are available to all via the internet; which is easy and accessible to virtually everyone in todays society. Another advantage of a blog is that the con-tent doesn’t have to be planned as such. Most fashion blogs are filled with displays of street style photography, which are backed up with an opinionated report of some kind. The in-sightful content within the magazines on the other hand are planned extensively. Not only are they detailed but they are informative; giving the reader a peek in to the industry,

depending on the topic of discussion. Mag-azines often invite you into the lives of in-spiring people we find fascinating. We learn about their work in the industry, about what they do and how they do it, what drives them and what they find inspiring etc. This can give the reader much inspiration and drive, amongst other things, to pursue what they enjoy doing for example. Fashion blogs are a good source of informa-tion, in terms of finding street style. Street photography is key for most successful fash-ion blogs. For example, Vogue have a section on their online website dedicated to street photography, which gives viewers the op-portunity to view a range of different styles. Fashion designers, amongst other things, are occasionally influenced by street style pho-tography, which becomes evident through particular collections. Many bloggers are approached for their street photography by fashion magazines, as a result of their unique street style. With the on going evolution of technology, it is thought by many, that fashion magazines will eventually die out, within the next 20 years. It is thought by others that these mag-azines will rather evolve and become more futuristic.

THE WHITE SHIRT

The white shirt has remained a promoinate item of clothing for centuries we take a look back at

how it’s progressed.

By Gemma ElliotIllustration byMayang Putri

The white shirt, a timeless classic, an item that is necessary in both men and female’s wardrobes. Although it was previously worn by women primarily for work, it has now become a fashion staple and can be dressed up or down for work, casual or eve-ning wear; the possibilities are endless. The white shirt first made an appearance in 1793 causing a scandal when worn in Paris by a queen in a portrait, which couldn’t be further than the royal etiquette. By the 19th century the white shirt became somewhat a sign of wealth and power, and was mostly worn by those didn’t work.Forties icon Katharine Hepburn donned a white shirt on Holiday, shortly after ev-erybody was wearing it. The white shirt continued well into the 50s when beauty Audrey Hepburn changed the look slightly as she lifted her collar and rolled her sleeves for the effortless look in Roman Holidays.For years femininity was running high and the white shirt was tied to emphasize a woman’s shape and enhance the figure, but during the 60s it all changed. Androgynous, powerful women were taking over which was when Twiggy was photographed wear-ing a white shirt and tie. Boyfriend style was around well in to the 70s with icons

such as Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn still rocking the crisp white shirt androgynous style. In the 80s the shirt was paired with Ray Bans and a leather jacket, giving it the rock and roll edge, whilst the 90s was the relaunch of the tied up shirt featured in Dirty Dancing. The white shirt is truly a classic piece that is a staple in any woman’s wardrobe and will forever remain stylish. One of the first white shirt moments in fashion history was when Coco Chanel introduced a new mas-culine world upon the women of fashion and ruled out all those corsets everyone was so used too, all thanks to her women started wearing trousers and shirt’s which were previously only deemed acceptable for men.Whether its feminine, as shown by Nina Ricci and Saint Laurent, or delicately dressed as seen by Alberta Ferretti or even the simplistic chicness of Carolina Herrera the white shirt is enhanced by the persons individuality.The white shirt will remain in the fashion industry as a timeless classic for years to come. Its simplicity is refreshingly unique. It can be dressed up or down and is an es-sential item of clothing.

The fashion industry has evolved enormously over the past few cen-turies and is now at it’s peak; stron-ger then ever before, all thanks to the media, the work of skilled designers, dressmakers and their teams, fashion is a form of art. The designers and dressmakers are praise worthy; their eye for detail is immaculate and their ability to create and put together a range of looks and styles is extraordinary. The work they create is not only a piece of art, but a source of inspi-ration to not only people in the in-dustry, but the general public. Aside from the immense talent shown through the form of cloth-ing, the media have played a mas-sive part in helping the fashion industry gain the success and rec-ognition it holds today. As time has passed, the media has grown exten-sively and has now become a part of everyone’s daily lifestyle; inter-locking everyone together from all around the world like never before, through the use of social

networking sites such as facebook and twitter, to name a few. With a range of social networking sites and the unlimited access to the internet it has become almost impossible to be unaware of what’s going on in the world of news, whether it be fashion or political; news spreads like a virus in the matter of seconds across the web enabling everyone to access anything from fashion to politics around the world. The fashion industry has therefore been nurtured by the media and has flourished as a result of much at-tention; whether it be good or bad.One of the main sources of where the media paint their approval or disapproval of fashion among oth-er things, are in magazines. Apart from magazines, the internet and television is another media based source that links the world. Mag-azines hold a large amount of for-mal and informal information on a various number of things. This is a source, which is also key for fash-ions advertisers; their brand por-

trayal i.e of clothing, accessories and cosmetics is crucial. It is also important that the brand is shown is in the right magazine. Brands further advertise their products in photo-shoots; the products are shown in a way that makes them highly desirable. The process in which it takes in or-der to create the ultimate picture is not only expensive but take much time. The images ultimately pro-mote the clothing and the brand. Apart from the photo-shoots, mag-azines are filled with adverts of var-ious products includingclothing, cosmetics and accessories promote brand awareness. Pho-to-shoots contain a narrative and a distinct message behind each picture, which is carefully thought threw by an army of people before the ultimate image appears behind the polished covers and in front of the reader. There are a count-less number of fashion magazines available to the public, some of which are global and others that are

After having been in the spotlight for centu-ries and despite the increasing use in tech-

nology, magazines are still highly anticipated and desirable by the majority of the public. Here we look at the industry and how it has

available and exclusive to a particu-lar country. The magazines such as Vogue, Bazar and Schön, are flam-boyant, vibrant and the photogra-phy within the magazines have a clean and polished finish. The fashion magazine industry is one that has been running for a lengthy period of time and has be-come one of the worlds most pre-dominant industries. As mentioned briefly before, there are a countless number of magazines targeted to-wards fashion, some of which have gained a worldwide recognition simply due to the magazines sheer excellence. Editors of the magazines play a great role off course; it is they who essentially choose the content of the magazine and put it together. One magazine that has an interest-ing content of photography, illus-trations and art is Schön magazine. Raoul Keil launched the fashion and lifestyle magazine, in June 2009, the editor in chief, which is based London. Although the title is in German, and means ‘beauti-ful’, the magazine itself is written in the English language its website states that “it is the ultimate in cre-ative collaborations, showcasing a dynamic and diverse array of ideas and talent”. There is no doubt about that, it does indeed reveal some phenomenal images, in fact the magazine is filled with eye opening imageries, although some of the content is provocative to say the least, it is inspirational.As we get nearer and nearer to our digital future, Schön was initially an online magazine, however, as the online community grew, so did the scope of the magazine, which is now available in print. Considering the magazine is still relatively new, it has done exceptionally well over the past 4 years and has featured some big names such as models Andrej Pejic, Tony Ward and Vic-toria Secrets model Alexandra Am-brosio. The magazine has gained

much recognition from both, peo-ple in the industry and the public; it is now read worldwide and is avail-able in over 197 countries, and as well asbeing available online and in print, it is also accessible to iphone and ipad users. Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication held an event to celebrate the 20th issue of Schön Magazine. The launch of the Mag-azine was organised by Raoul Kiel, editor and chief of Schön Magazine, went hand in hand with the collage, which was an ideal location for the event; with dim coloured light’s, minimalistic settings and a bar, a relaxed and warm atmosphere was set and complimented the theme of the issue ‘Future is Now’. Among other things, the issue showcased some of most talented young de-signers, extraordinary photogra-phy and a refreshing introduction to our upcoming season; Spring.

“I think one of the best things from the last 5 years was the Jean Paul Gaultier show, because all the mod-els on the catwalk where

laughing”

The event was a huge success and whilst some mingled, other guests took advantage of the 3D films, 3D printing that was on show/avail-able. Amongst this, guests indulged in delicious canapés and drinks served by waiters all dressed in black. The room was filled with var-ious people; some of whom worked for Schön Magazine, other people within the creative industry and Ravensbourne stuff and students. This was a wonderful oppor

This was a wonderful oppor tu-nity for the students in particular, as they were able to converse with people from the industry; which gave them an insight to the indus-try and the opportunity to network and gain potential contacts for the future. At the end of the successful eve-ning, when guests went to pick up their coats and bags from the cloak-room, delightful goodie bags where handed out containing the latest is-sue of Schön Magazine, cosmetics and skin care appliances as well as beauty samplers and products. The event marked a spectacular end to London Fashion Week and further introduced us to the new futuristic issue of Schön Magazine. As well as being the editor and chief of Schön Magazine, Keil is also the creative director of Nine-teen74.com; a professional fashion networking website, which links people from the fashion industry around the world. It is the first ever online fashion network that allows people to meet online, form partnerships, start projects and ad-vertise job vacancies for free. Keil invented, created and set up Nine-teen.com in 2008 and since then it has done remarkably well. An ex-ceptionally hardworking man, Kiel has single handily worked wonders on both Schon and Ninteen74.com, giving them much recognition and ultimately making them highly successful.Aside from being highly inspira-tional, Kiel’s humbling nature is invigorating. His upbeat person-ality makes it an absolute pleasure to be around and regardless of his success he is very down to earth. His ability to remain so modest is refreshing. During my phone interview with Keil, I found him to be, calm, friendly and precise. We spoke about his academic background, what he studied and how he ulti-mately got to his position today.

56

What is your fashion background?I studied fashion marketing a long time ago, back in Germany, and it was more economy focused in terms of wholesale and retail rather than magazine editing.

I worked several years for H&M as a visual merchandiser, then I changed companies and went into furniture and created furniture for a shop chain in Germany, France and the rest of Europe, and then I moved to London. When I moved there, I worked in wholesale, then I started as a creative director for a fashion label. I then worked as a scout and bought in emerging markets such as South Ameri-can, South African and Australian brands into the UK. I then saw that there was a gap in the market for young creators, so I created a fash-ion network site called Nineteen74. This then lead to creating Schön as an online magazine.

Schön magazine was originally an online mag, so why did you decide to go in to print?I think the market of online maga-zines instead of print is over satu-rated everyone has an online mag-azine now. The quality of print and the quality of models is different and you can only get that for print. People still very much appreciate print magazines. We started the print and offered the magazine on the print and demand website, and we had many orders, then we realized that people actual-ly like print.

A lot of people get confused as to what an actual editor does, so could you explain about more about your role?

As an editor in chief you surround yourself with great people who have an idea of every part that a magazine might have. For example

a creative director will oversea the layouts, the fashion editors will oversea the shoots, and then have any other people that are necessary for magazine, and you put them to-gether and then manage them. As the editor in chief you have the op-tion of what goes in and what goes out of the final issue; but I believe that it is a team job.

What do you think the hardest part of organizing all this is?

Pleasing the advertisers! The mar-ket of the magazines is very saturat-ed so you have to find your niche and therefor you have to convince people to finance a magazine, which are mostly advertisers.

Schon! event held at Ravensbourne

What do you think the biggest shift in fashion has been since working for the magazine?

The only thing I see in the different markets such as Italy or Spain, have their own trend and people dress of their trend. Nowadays there ar-en’t any trends anymore, so you can wear what you wore 10 years ago. You can buy more product rather than looking at the branding, and mix high fashion with high street.People are allowed to wear what they like rather than be dictated by trends of their society, which is a nice shift.

Do you think there is a big fashion moment that stands out for you in the last 5 years or so?

I think one of the best things from the last 5 years was the Jean Paul Gaultier show, because all the mod-els on the catwalk where laughing and smiling as they where walking down the runway and that was very refreshing. The designer walked through with his whole team and applauded so it was a team effort.

What advice would you give to any-one wanting to get into the fashion industry, preferably the magazine world?

What I advice everyone first of all is specialize, depending on which course you choose, whether you want to become a writer, a graphic designer just specialize on one thing that your really good at because the competition is really high. But also with the many courses that are on offer you sometimes don’t learn as much of one thing, so you have an overview of it. So I advice people to take as many work placements as possible to really figure out what they want to do.

Is there anything in particular you look for when recruiting for interns? What do you look for in a good port-folio?

In terms of their portfolio, spelling mistakes and grammar is the key thing I look for at the beginning. Also that there inertial email is personalized, and they look at the background of the person they’re applying for. Also have knowledge of the person or product you ap-plying for. For example if you are a graphic designer applying for a graphic design role, make sure that the portfolio is tailor made for the job you go for, so if somebody is going for magazine role, they shouldn’t go with hand drawings, they should always go with a portf

olio which is essentially relevant for that role.

What’s your biggest highlight so far?

Every issue has a completely new highlight because I have the chance to work with different people who are photographers, models and fashion designers who I’ve never worked with before and it gives me the opportunity to meet the most fascinating personalities out there! I believe that that is my highlight and there’s one in five years a dif-ferent issue.

As time has passed the technolo-gy within the industry has evolved massively, giving the industry access to the best possible facilities enabling them to create phenomenal photog-raphy, images and graphics. The in-dustry is one which is consistently is on going and therefore ever chang-ing. With regards to fashion maga-zines, the industry has accomplished so much so far, it is intriguing to see what the industry will have changed 20 years from now.

What/where is your hometown? Do the people back at home support you?Before moving to London I lived in a small seaside town called West Kirby near Liver-pool. We haven’t had the chance to play up there yet but hopefully when the time comes people will show their support!

How long have you guys been in a band to-gether?The bands been together for about 5 years now but I’ve only been a part of it for 4. My brother started it when he was at university and began by adding electronic beats to sam-ples of classical music. When I got an elec-tronic kit for my 17th birthday I was intro-duced as the drummer and started playing the beats live!

What’s the hardest thing about being in a band?Hmm good question. I guess the transition from acoustic kit to electronic was pretty hard. Also having to play to a click had its difficulties. I wasn’t used to having to play in such a regimented way with no freedom to change tempo.

Who are your idols and why?Geoff Rowley. He’s just a cool, down to earth scouser with radical moves.

Who/ What are your guilty pleasures?I’m a bit of a sucker for The Vengaboys. We supported them once at a may ball in Cam-bridge and It blew my mind. Syrup waffles are pretty good too.

If you guys were to describe yourself in one word, what would you say?Innovative.

Do you guys have any other hobbies besides, obviously, making music?Well I’ve been riding a skateboard ever since I learnt to push. And as a band we make all our own music videos so I guess that counts as a hobby. Aside from that I’m into art and sailing whenever I get the chance.

What’s your most embarrassing experience?Dropping a stick on stage is always bad but I haven’t done that in a while. I guess the worst was having the power cut out on my kit during a gig as then I was completely help-less. Yeah, that was pretty bad.

Are you touring at the moment or in the near future?We’ve recently come off supporting Disclo-sure on their UK tour but right now we’re just doing the festival circuit. Once our al-bum’s out I’m sure we’ll be back on the road again!
