We put the current 3rd year class to the task of creating their looks in groups of 2. We then contacted Tony Budden from Hemporium to see if they would be interested in getting involved and sponsoring DAF hemp fabrics for the project, which they very graciously agreed to. The students all worked extremely well together and managed to create 6 cohesive, thoughtful and Eco Friendly looks. DAF could not be more pleased with the outcome - the shoot was a great success, both DAF and Hemporium got fantastic exposure and most importantly - this project helped create awareness of Eco friendly design, exposed the many advantages of the (often misunderstood) hemp plant and proved that Eco friendly fashion need not be dull or uninteresting! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thanks to everyone who took part.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The July issue of Top Billing magazine out now!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

R.J. Cutler spent eight months (January to August of 2007) filming Anna Wintour and the team at Vogue as they created the legendary September Issue of the magazine. The September edition is known throughout the industry as “The Bible” and the 2007 edition ended up at 840 pages being the single largest issue of a magazine that has ever been published!<br />
<br />
Shortly after he began filming, he made the following observation to a friend who asked what it was like to watch Anna work, "Well, you can make a film in Hollywood without Steven Spielberg's blessing, and you can publish software in Silicon Valley without Bill Gates' blessing, but it's pretty clear to me that you can't succeed in the fashion industry without Anna Wintour's blessing." She seems to single handedly command the $300-billion global fashion industry. Her daily schedules include meetings with editors, stylists, designers, writers, models, art directors, photographers, retailers, filmmakers, actresses, socialites, moguls and even politicians. As Vogue's then-publisher Tom Florio says in the film while discussing her legendary inaccessibility, "She's busy." <br />
<br />
What struck R.J. Cutler the most though was that regardless of how busy she was (very!!), she always kept her team moving forward and that every month, like clockwork, another issue of Vogue hit the newsstands. What is her secret? How does she do it? I think the answer to that lies in the documentary- in the meantime though, here are 4 important lessons J.R. Cutler learned from Anna Wintour while filming The September Issue.<br />
<br />
1. KEEP MEETINGS SHORT<br />
In an industry where 3-4hour long meetings are the usual, Vogue goes against the grain by keeping meetings short and sweet, a meeting that goes on for longer than 7 minutes at Vogue, is considered long. Everyone comes on time (in fact usually a couple of minutes early), prepared and ready to go for it! If you arrive 5 minutes late, chances are you've missed the meeting. <br />
<br />
2. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS<br />
In one short scene early on, Anna is reviewing some boards with Fashion Market/Accessories Director Virginia Smith. Anna rifles thorough the boards, saying "yes" and "no" as she goes. It's quintessential Anna Wintour: knowing what she wants, making clear decisions and moving on. <br />
<br />
3. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GREAT TALENT<br />
Anna Wintour understands that your only as good as the people that work for you, that bad leaders are threatened by strong team members and that success comes from surrounding yourself with the most talented people you can find. <br />
<br />
4. DONT LOOK BACK<br />
A statement that summarizes Anna's management style, comes from her own comment at the end of The September Issue, when she says, "Fashion's not about looking back. It's always about looking forward." Or it might come from Karl Lagerfeld whose favorite expression is "On to the next." In other words -always move forward. Don't dwell on the past. Life is short and there's lots to get done.<br />

<br />
Project Runway has been turned into a game for Nintendo Wii and will be hitting shelves in the U.S.A on the 2nd March 2010.<br />
Variety reports that the game will follow the same format as the show, with players competing as fashion designers. Each level will consists of various challenges in which you will design clothes and accessories for models, style their hair and makeup, and then strut your stuff on the catwalk yourself using the Wii balance board. It also features the voices of Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn, Michael Kors, and Nina Garcia as well as the cast of season six giving helpful hints throughout the game. <br />
<br />
It will be interesting to see how this concept actually sells, will it appeal to the more fashion conscious teenagers and youth? Will it appeal to serious gamers?<br />
Would you play Project Runway?<br />

<br />
<br />
Found dead from an apparent suicide on Thursday the 11th of February 2010 the fashion industry mourns the loss of a great talent.<br />
<br />
McQueen was born in the East end of London the youngest of 6 children and left school at the tender age of 16. He was already making dresses for his sisters at a young age , but was given his first break when he joined Savile Row tailors as an apprentice. His next steps on the ladder to success found him working at Gieves & Hawkes , theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans and Koji Tatsuno.<br />
<br />
In 1994 he was accepted at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, his final collection for his Masters Degree was bought in its entirety by famous stylist Isabella Blow.<br />
<br />
In 1996 he was named head designer for Givenchy in Paris and was dubbed the ''hooligan of English fashion'' and ''enfant terrible'' by the French press-although this was thought to be more of a reference to his close cropped hair and doc martens than his fashion style and he soon silenced his critics. His 1998 show caused controversy which included car robots spray painting models wearing white cotton dresses and a double amputee model walking down the catwalk with wooden legs. His shows became known for their lavish, unconventional theatrics and his fall 2006 show, "Widows of Culloden" included a life sized hologram of Kate Moss draped in rippling fabric.<br />
<br />
In 2000 he started in new partnership with the Gucci group acquiring 51% of his company and McQueen serving as Creative Director.<br />
<br />
His accomplishments include the following-<br />
-Being named "British Designer of the Year", which he won four times between 1996 and 2003 <br />
-International Designer of the Year at the Council of Fashion Designer Awards 2003 <br />
-CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) 2003<br />
