EDUN was founded by Ali Hewson and her husband Bono, but it is not just a fashion brand. Not just a spectacle every few months for people to look at and marvel. Not just a company making money. They are actually making a difference. People can give money to Africa (I am not saying it’s a bad thing) but like people say “give a man a fish he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime”. The majority of EDUN apparel clothing is made in Africa, not just giving money to the continent but encouraging trade back into it, and then giving them the means to make money by their own ability and skills.
If you have Doctor in front of your name people assume you are very clever and you must know a lot, especially in the subject you are doctor in. This would be no different for Dr Denim. Ok it’s not actually a person more a family company, but boy do they know a lot about denim and jeans. Hailing from Sweden and having a mixed heritage of fishing and fashion they dedicate their lives to making the perfect pair of jeans. Starting from the design and choice of supplier, and going through to different weights and washes. They have taken apart the very idea of “a pair of jeans” played and tweaked with it then put it back together with great effect. If you are a denim lover like me then find your nearest supplier they have them world wide and get yourself a pair of Dr Denim jeans.

Well Nonomuaks new project Kickeyes has done exactly that. Trying to change the way people see the world, not only by changing up the material used for making the glasses, but also with the shapes used where the lens should be.

In this day and age of pay cuts and lay offs, we need a way of expression but with simplicity and honesty. Something that is non-definable yet easily categorized. Voila . . . LONG
LONG is the brain child of Gareth Emmet and Rhys Dawney. Born in 2008, LONG focuses on oversized, unisex clothing with bold and graphic prints.
Recently bringing out a new collection, they stay true to the LONG ethos but head towards darker and gloomier terrain. Religious and spiritual iconography was stripped down, making them more meaningful significant to the modern age.
I would challenge anybody to say that when they have been alone listening to some rock music and the guitar solo kicks in, they have never got up and got the old air guitar out. Nearly everybody wants to play guitar, and I know lots of people who can. If you are one of ...
What do you really get when you download music? You have some files on your computer, there is nothing you can really touch and feel!
Warmest Chord is a record label trying to change that. For £20 you get 3 or 4 downloadable tracks, a mix tape by the respective artist and a limited edition screen print or piece of art.
Run by 3 music lovers, unlike some other record labels that are known for a certain type or genre of music, Warmest Chords policy is if it’s good and they think people need to hear it then they will try and get it out there.
