Craig Lawrence & Lady Gaga
Craig Lawrence is a British fashion designer that
was born in Ipswich, Suffolk, and moved to London
to complete his fashion design studies at the
prestigious design school Central Saint Martins. He
remains there nowadays.
He is known for his knitwear designs, but he
does not create regular knitwear, but completely
the opposite. He uses the knitting technique to
create voluminous, fluffy and shiny fashion pieces.
Craig’s approach to knitting can only be described
as “extreme, reinventing this ancient craft to
unexpected use of both, material and form”.
Before graduating from Central Saint Martins, Craig
Lawrence worked during six months for also British
designer, Gareth Pugh, producing knitwear pieces
for Pugh’s collections.
His autumn/winter 2009 collection received the
NEWGEN sponsorship for an exhibition and also
caught the attention of the Blow Presents platform,
which seeks for new emerging design talent, with
whom Lawrence got to debut at the London
Fashion Week. Craig’s NEWGEN sponsorship is now
in his 4th season.
His autumn/winter 2010 collection was included
at the London showrooms, which took London’s
emerging talents to New York and collaborated
with the Centre for Fashion Enterprise to increase
their presence and media coverage in USA.
Raw Talents Issue XX
Craig Lawrence CAROUSEL
He has also recently traveled to Tokio to join an exhibition organized by a concept store, always collaborating
with friend and stylist Katie Shilingford.
Among his works, it is included his collaboration with Levi’s and with Alexander McQueen. The most popular
appearances of his designs on the media had been putting one of his dresses at the cover of the limited
edition magazine, Another magazine, worn by actress Tilda Swinton, and the public appearances wearing
his designs of celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Patrick Wolf or Björk.
He gets the inspiration from his childhood memories in Ipswich, the small village where he was born,
where he finds emotions such as nostalgia and decadence, emotions that he would like to transmit with
his creations. Another thing that characterizes his collections is his unique use of that metallic-foil wrapped
yarns that usually appear in every one of his creations. A young designer that will create lots of opinions and
that will, step by step, conquer the fashion scene, for sure.

A day in the life
BY MAX ADAM
Somehow I knew that the time for a change had
come, I had been thinking about it for quite a while
and the answer is... drum roll...; Madrid. It is not
that I don’t like Barcelona anymore, actually I love
the so called “Ciudad Condal”, but I just felt that
I needed something else, new things to explore
and therefore I decided to move to the capital of
Spain. Now, I have been here for a bit more than
two weeks and so far I am very impressed by this
city. Lots of nice people, nice architecture, nice
parties, nice street styles and so on and so forth.
To sum it up, on the whole a very good experience.
Unfortunately the weather has not been the most
16 2beMag
supportive yet but already the forecast for the next
days is looking very positive, smells like new looks
from the streets of Madrid. Until now, I have not
had the chance to take many pictures yet, but at
least some, some street styles, some party pictures
and few sightseeing ones. I have already found my
favourite district, that is for sure and it shouldn’t be
a surprise either, because many people told me:
“You will be hanging out a lot in Malasaña”, and
so it is. Plenty of bars with good music, neat stores
and most of all, interesting people.

PERSONS OF SPECIAL COURTESY RIGO PEX
Rigo Pex
I have already had a couple of visitors and one of them was the
Guatemalan miracle Rigo Pex, better known as Meneo. Malicious
gossip has it that he is the cause of global warming, I don’t know
about that, but he surely knows how to fire it up, he knows basic
and wrote a song with one of my favourite lines ever in it: “Tiger
Woods is gay”. Electropical beats, straight off his gameboy, this is
what I call 8-Bit with soul. Give it up for Rigo Pex!

Emerging Raw Talents
Gareth Pugh was born on august 31 1981 and is a
British fashion designer that has known he wanted
to be a fashion designer during his whole life. At the
age of 14, he started working as a costume designer
for the National Youth Theatre, and when it came the
moment to decide what to study; he started his career
at the prestigious Central Saint Martins in London,
which finished in 2003. It is interesting to know, that
while studying, he interned with Rick Owens in Paris.
XX 2beMag
His final collection at Central Saint Martins was made
with balloons that accentuated model’s joints and
limbs, which has been his trademark forever and which
also attracted the fashion editor of the magazine
Dazed and Confused and placed one of his designs on
the cover of the magazine. This, and the fact that he
showed his creations at the Alternative Fashion Week
in London, caught the attention of the group Fashion
East, who invited Pugh to participate in its autumn
2005 group show. The collection he presented really
got the critic’s attention and had very good reviews.
Pugh solo premier was in London’s 2006 fall shows
and, since then, his collections keep being very well
received. Anna Wintour had declared to be a notable
supporter of Pugh’s designs, as well as the singer Kylie
Minogue, who was the first person to buy a piece from
him and, since then, she has never stoped wearing his
creation in her shows and public appearances.
In terms of style, he could be considered among
those designers that understand fashion as an art
performance, such as Alexander McQueen or Vivienne
Westwood. More than taking references, Pugh says that
his collections are, somehow, autobiographical and are
really inspired, too, from Britain’s extreme club scene.
Pugh’s designs are known for the experimentation
he does of forms and volumes, frequently creating
“nonsensically shaped, wearable sculptures” which
distort the human body.

Among the materials he uses, we can find PVC, latex,
parachute silk and foam, among many others. He is
known for revitalizing British and European fashion
and by his exuberant imagination and his theatrical
conception of fashion, transmitting an unreal feeling.
Until 2007, his clothes were only made to be shown
at the catwalks but were unavailable to purchase.
Now it is time to see if he is just an amazing fashion
artist or if he can also give a good result in terms of
commerce. By now, we are starting to see how he is
slowly introducing more wearable creations within his
collections, and we know he has partnered with major
manufacturers to produce some of his pieces, which
can be understood as a way of starting to be a designer
for people, and not only for the show.

Balmain replaces Emanuelle Alt
Alexandra Kotur, vogue style director for the past
15 years, is leaving the brand to join the magazine
Town&country as creative director. This has been
the first big change that Jay Fielden’s, the new
Town&country’s EIC has lead in the magazine,
but it is for sure that this is just the start. Fielden
and Kotur had work many times together in the
past, when he was an editor contributor at Vogue
and prior, the EIC for men’s Vogue.
“She’s somebody I worked with on various
projects for years and I think she matches perfectly
with the brand,” “I want somebody that can be
here on a daily basis and we haven’t had that in
David,” said Fielden referring to David Lipman,
the current creative and design director at the
magazine. “We’ll continue to work with him on
bigger ideas and long view design questions. I
can pick up the phone and talk about some grand
idea or he can help land a big photographer.”
Cédric Charlier Will Leave Cacharel
next October
Cacharel won’t renew Cédric Charlier’s contract when it ends on the
next October 7, announced recently the brand.
The Belgian designer, who had spent previously six years at Lanvin being
Alber Elbaz’s assistant, finally joined Cacharel in April 2009 and, during
this time, he has done a really good and hard work. During this time
at the brand he has relaunched the women’s ready-to-wear line and
convinced the brand to return to join the Paris Fashion Week. But despite
all of this, the brand has decided not to keep him for some reasons they
haven’t shared yet.

Lily Allen and sister Sarah Owen are launching
their own collection
Six months ago, LILY Allen and her sister Sarah Owen already
surprised us by opening their vintage shop Lucy in Disguise.
When all of that happened, Allen told Elle UK that they had
decided to open the shop because they loved vintage and also
because they were not fashion designers.
Well, it seems that the sisters forgot that last part of their statement
because now they will be launching an 18 piece ready-to.wear
collection of dresss inspired in their favorite vintage pieces.
Nadia Jones, the LVMH menswear style director’s sister, will be
helping Lily and Sarah to create their styles from the vintage
pieces they have chosen. The collection will be launched next
June and will be offered at Harvey Nichols in the UK and at
shopbop.com in the US, as well, of course, as at Lucy and Disguise
store and onlinestore. The collection will mix pieces inspired In
the 70’s, which are Sarah’s favourites, and pieces inspired in the
30’s and 40’s, which is what Lily loves the most.
Alexander Wang To Debut
Collection Menswear
It seems that Alexander Wang doesn’t have enough by opening his first flagship
store in NY; reorganize his entire online presence and running two labels, Alexander
Wang and T. So, to keep his full agenda even fuller he has decided to launch, next
fall, his new men’s ready-to-wear collection too.
“It’s about the right timing, the right opportunity, then one thing leads to another”,
he said. His first contact with menswear design came via his casual T collection
that he started three years ago, which began small and simple and gradually grew
to include leathers and outwear pieces. He recently has won the CFDA and GQ’S
Best Menswear Designer Award because of this collection, T. Wang explains that
menswear in among the most requested category at his new store in NY so, for
fall he will debut his first completed Alexander Wang menswear full collection. He
says that his first collection will be small enough to be considered a capsule and
it will be available at Wang’s own Soho store, Barneys New York and other stores
such as Dover Street Market, Colette and Joyce Internationally. The prices will go
from $375 climbing to $1150 depending on fabrics and design.

With a name as memorable as Fei Fei Sun, this newcomer is currently on the tip of every major casting
director’s tongue. The 21-year-old got her start in the industry in 2008, when she represented China for
the worldwide Elite Model Look competition. Though she lost, Fei Fei booked the cover of Chinese Elle the
following year, and became an all-around editorial superstar in her native country. Naturally, Karl Lagerfeld
handpicked her for his Chanel Paris-Shanghai show. Her ascent only continued during the fall 2010 shows,
closing for Vivienne Westwood in London and walking for Jil Sander, Miu Miu, and Hermès in Milan and Paris.
And having recently signed with Women Management in New York, which represents modeling stalwarts
Carmen Kass and Agyness Deyn, this girl’s getting groomed for the long haul.

HERVÉ LÉGER THINKS MODELS ARE “TOO SKINNY, TOO SAD”
Designer Hervé Léger lost control over his brand in 1999, which
has been designed by Max Azria since then. On 2000, one year
after losing his initial brand, Léger set up his new label, Hervé L.
Leroux, which he still designs but doesn’t show on the runways.
He says he prefers it like this because he doesn’t want to choose
among all the models offered nowdays, too skinny and sad, in
his opinion.
“If I had to go back to catwalk presentations I would be in a
panic...Already the models I find are too skinny, too sad. And I
knew the age of the super top models, Linda Evangelista and
Cindy Crawford, who were always lively and smiling,” Léger
said. “Today you go between several défilés and you will see
the exact same type of girl - it just doesn’t inspire me. Of course
I do presentations, I do three presentations a year: spring, fall
and cruise, that I show at my showroom and what I like is to
have the buyers come to me. They buy, things sell well, and that
really gives me the feeling of existing for something because I
know that somewhere out there in the world I have clients that
adore what I’m doing and that’s really reward enough.”
Jimmy Choo Wants to Buy Back His

Dumas, in collaboration with some of the top international industrial
designers such as Enzo Mari, Antonio Citterio, Denis Montel and Enric
Benqué.
In addition, the brand will be also providing a collection of home fabrics,
wallpapers and carpets which will be produced by Dedar, one of the

Balenciaga Alum Alistair Carr Takes
The Reins At Pringle Of Scotland
Alistair Carr, who was alum at Balenciaga under Nicolas
Ghesquière’s command during four years and who had before
joined periods at Marni, Cacharel and Chloe after finishing the M.A
course at Central Saint Martins, is now joining Pringle of Scotland.
He will be replacing Waight Keller as design director.
“I am a perfectionist about finish,” says Carr, “but I also want ease
of movement in clothes.”
Carr will be finally applying his principles to Pringle of Scotland by
designing the men’s collection which will be launched in June. The
collection will be influenced by the re-contextualizing of tradition
he learned so well at Balenciaga and will be a bit more streamlined
and less archive-oriented that it used to be under Keller’s. He also
says he will continue with Waight Keller’s practice of collaborating
with contemporary artists.
Designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac
Is Producing A Rock Musical
The fashion designer and artist Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, who,
apart from his collections, had already a line called Jesus Jeans and
produced a series of logoed paintings, has surprised all of us with his
next project: running a rock musical.
“We are at the end of a cycle, and we don’t give a damn [about] fashion
shows. It’s not at all what makes the world move forward. I’m bored.
The stylists are the ones who make magazine covers. When I do a
fashion show, I do it like an installation. I was always closer to music
and art than to fashion. I was never crazy about fashion for fashion.
Until now I made clothes to tell stories.” Anyways, the creative plans
to continue designing apart of bringing his talents to the stage.
The musical will be called Ceremony and will have the music of
the French group Nouvelle Vague, who will star in the show. The
multitasker Catlebajac has selected the songs, designed the costumes
and choreographed the performance. Can’t wait to see the result!

American Apparel CEO Uses Secret Contracts
to Silence Models Who Pose Nude for Him
Dov Charney, American Apparel’s CEO who is also in charge
of the brand’s photoshoots, uses really long and restrictive
contracts to silence models who pose nude for him. The
contract bans models from suing him in court, saying anything
bad about AA to the media and forces models to take their
disputes to secret. The contracts are unusually long considering
the models are paid $50 an hour and usually get only$300 a
session. These contracts have seen the light in a recent lawsuit
in which he has been accused of unfairly preventing a model
from bringing a lawsuit against him.
The model Tesa Lubens-Dehaven and her co-plaintiff Kimbra
Lo finally decided to accuse him and bring the case to court. Lo,
who used to work at a AA store, says that Charney suggested
her to become one of his models before attempting to have sex
with her. Chanrney defends himself by saying that his accusers
sent him sexy photos and emails to provoke him.
Jimmy Choo Wants to Buy Back His
Namesake Brand for £500 Million
Shoe designer Jimmy Choo doesn’t actually own his namesake brand.
In fact, since 2000 he sold it to the UK private equity firm, TowerBrook,
which owns the majority of the brand. The only 15% not owned by
them is property of the Jimmy Choo’s co-founder, Tamara Mellon.
We’ve heard that TowerBrook is keen on selling and that some private
equities such as LVMH or Valentino have been whispered as potential
buyers. But Choo is decided to recover it and has hired adviser Daniel
Stewart to help him raise 500 million pounds to buy the company and
find the right investors for it.
“It’s feasible that an Asian investor would be interested”, said Lauren
Goldstein Crowe, author of The Towering World of Jimmy Choo: A
Glamorous Story of Power, Profits and the Pursuit of the Perfect Shoe.

UNDERWATER DISCO LIGHTSHOW
Forget standing for hours in long, pretentious club lines
only to fork over your week’s pay for an unadulterated
moment of debauchery. Instead, bring a piece of
Studio 54 home with you and upgrade yourself to VIP
status by putting on your own spectacular Underwater
Disco Lightshow.
The red, green and blue LED lights mix together to form
an array of rainbow colors and patterns that span the
tub. The setting can be kicked up to groovy (fast and
fun) or to mellow (slow-mo and serene); because too
much partying could lead to brain damage or worse.
Just think about the aftermath of the 70′
s, otherwise
known as the 80′
s.

covers sure are a more fun way to protect
your iPhone compared to traditional cases.
Japanese Food iPhone 4 Cases are
available in four versions: rice, yakisoba
noodles, bacon and egg, and fried shrimp.
Imagine the fun reactions you’ll get when
people see you talking into a clump of

it on a dining table, it’s likely to end up in
the trash with the other leftovers.

This Leak
The influence of video in the world of film and video art is a constant reality that once again expands the
horizons of these artistic expressions. Juanma Carrillo and FélixFernández demonstrate the impossibility of
drawing such limits with their new work “This Leak”, the promotional video for the single Rubeck musician
and composer of his LP “The incident”. A proposal defined by their own marketing strategies for their dual
character between music and video art piece.
Juanma Carrillo renowned photographer and filmaker of short films like “The flowers also produce thorns” or
“say” and Félix Fernández great performer and artist, returns to work together in this production along with
musician Rubeck. The video treats the theme of the trilogy “Cover Me “, a draft video creation yet to finish by
the three artists about the individual’s solitude and the search for loved ones.
“This Leak” who participated last month in Region 0. The Latino Video Art Festival of New York, shows the
cathartic process of a businessman from Wall Street to a new perspective for the future. The rigid attitude
of the character contained in the geometry and the stress of New York is released by a dance under the
open sky in the same city. Finally, shining in the evening light releases its hidden look to new horizons and
discovers the extent of the surrounding space.

Olivier Theyskens was borne don January the 4th of 1977, in
Brussels, Belgium. Son of a chemical engineer and a homemaker,
he dreamed, when he was a child, to be a girl and be able to wear
skirts and look like a princess. So it wasn’t surprising when, at the
age of 7, he claimed that he wanted to do Haute Couture.
In October 1995, at the age of 18, he finally got to starts the
studies of fashion design at the École Nationale Superieure des
Arts Visuels de la Cambre, but within a year he felt that he was
losing time so he dropped out to start his own label. He was
only 19 years old. His first collections were defined as gothic
extravaganzas and were made out of bed sheets his grandmother
had given him. He created an amount of 25 designs which were
shown at a showroom in Paris. There, one of Barney’s stylist saw
the collection and fell in love with it, wanting to buy it all, which
Theyskens refused. Even so, the collection was shown at Barney’s
shop windows during a few weeks, where Madonna saw them
and fell in love with the creations. She finally wore one of his
dresses in 1998 to the Academy awards, and since then, the name
of Olivier Theyskens has been known by all the fashion industry.
He finally had to close his label because he didn’t have enough
money to create it. So he started working as a costume designer
at the Théâtre de la Monnaie even though he never stopped
creating dresses as a pastime.

Theyskens @ NY 2011
In 2002, the French brand Rochas, well known for
its perfumes and not so much for its fashion lines,
selected Olivier as the new creative director. His
first collection, presented in 2003, was amazingly
claimed by the critics and, since then, he created
a completely new silhouette for the brand very
elegant and French influenced.
In 2006, Theyskens was rewarded by the Council of
Fashion Designers of America with the International
award. However, Theyskens designs, really magical,
special and fantastic-world-belonging, didn’t really
fit within the ready-to-wear market and either
within the idea of Haute Couture and its rules, so
it wasn’t being really profitable for the brand. The
designer’s refusal to create a marketable accessories
line and the fact that he didn’t give importance to
advertising ended up with Rocha’s demise.
In 2007 he was named artistic director at Nina
134 2beMag
Ricci, where he presented a more commercial line.
After presenting three collections in the house, his
contract, which was expiring on 2009, was never
renewed and his position was taken by Peter
Copping, from Louis Vuitton.
Nowadays, Andrew Rosen, Theory’s CEO, has hired
Theyskens to design a capsule collection that has
already been presented and that will be sold this
summer. Theysken’s style is a perfect mix of old,
gothic and romantic time’s nostalgia with the actual
figure of the modern woman, very strong and active,
and, overall, really feminine.
