DIESEL U:MUSIC RADIO

What is it about the summer that sparks off a love affair between fashion and music?

Diesel have now taken to the airwaves with Diesel:U:Music Radio. D-U-M radio now broadcasting on 87.7 FM from The Amersham Arms in New Cross, was launched this week. The big boys of fashion are hoping to support the work of cutting edge musicians across the British Isles. Some people say that starting your own radio station is as bold as hanging your balls over a balcony. But D-U-M radio seems to be a sweet investment as bands like The Klaxons sign up to play live gigs to attract listeners to the stations headquarters.

Andy Griffiths, Diesel's head of communications, said: “Diesel-U-Music Radio covers everything we really value - music, community, DIY spirit and new ideas. It's about smart, creative people, whether they're established artists or bedroom DJs, and it's going to make amazing radio."
Well I have to admit Andy it is pretty good so far. Amazing takes time though.

The New Young Pony Club will be Dancing in France with Fornarina on May 12th. The electronic wizards will DJ in Paris’ Carrousel Du Louvre for the latest edition of the Fornarina Urban Beauty Show 6.0 – The Call of Dreams. It seems the sleek designers are flying the British New Wave/Electronic flag with Simian Mobile Disco adding beats of their own during the launch.

The evening is set to be a mixture of Art, Fashion and Noise. For the New Young Pony Club, this venue highlights the versatility of the five-piece band who have recently supported the charitable project Crisis Consequence. The Ponies along with Paul Weller, Supergrass, The Enemy, Graham Coxon, and Dirty Pretty Things, compiled a single to help the homeless get off the streets. If anyone deserves a night out in Paris, The New Young Ponies do.

MERC MUSIC FESTIVAL

It seems the music world has latched onto the Merc movement, and I’m not talking cars here. The British Retro brand have recently confirmed that the ‘Plain White T’s’ will be launching the Merc Music Fest on May 9th, at their store in Carnaby Street.

The Grammy nominated Plain White T’s from across the Atlantic, renown for their #1 single ‘Hey There Delilah’, have done no bad thing making friends with the London fashion boys.

Slapping a Merc jacket across your chest is becoming a healthy habit for bands including The Hoosiers, Kaiser Chiefs, The Enemy, Razorlight and even Greenday. (But we won’t go on about that.)

The 2008 Merc Music Series is set be a sequence of fortnightly gigs that will cost the spectator absolutely nothing. Bands such The Troubadours, The Sigma and The Foxes have all signed up for the late May and June slots.

It looks like London’s about to get Louder.

NEW ARRIVAL - PAIGE PREMIUM DENIM

Paige Adams-Geller has been the designer jeans industry’s secret weapon for almost a decade, being the ‘fit model’ for almost every A-list premium denim jeans label. Her long and successful reign as the celebrity jeans industry’s most sought after fit model was, perhaps surprisingly, due to her curvy, not-too-thin figure, which it appeared; more accurately represented that of normal female consumers.

Far from being a ‘dumb blonde’, Paige was an A-grade student, raised in rural Alaska, who graduated from school two years early. She puts her demand as a model for womens designer jeans as much down to her brains as to her body and in particular, her ability to communicate well. “I think the reason I had a lot of success is because I wasn’t just a person that stood there as a hanger while other people made suggestions” says Paige “I like people to know I have a brain, so I became very vocal as a fit model for designer jeans. I learnt the technical as well as the creative side of the premium denim jeans business… to see how I could make my hips look smaller, my legs longer, butt higher if I place pockets in certain places”. The difference between fit modelling and catwalking, she says is simple “It’s about having an eye for detail and design and not being afraid to speak out about it.”

Paige now channels all her knowledge and experience of fabric and fit into her own label Paige jeans, based in Los Angeles, the home of premium denim jeans with her Paige Premium Denim styles named after the streets of LA.

NEW ARRIVAL - PAUL & JOE SISTER SHOES

A fresh shoe line from the darling of the left bank, Paul and Joe Sister has been a runaway success for the brand. Continuing the design characteristic of the mainline, Paul & Joe Sister have just added their simple Art Nouveau influenced summer footwear.

PETE'S RELEASED EARLY OR ARE THERE JUST LESS DRUGS OUTSIDE PRISON?

The world kicked back a lot flipping softer.

With a packet of fags, and a cheeky smile, Peter’s been released before time. How does he do it? Mr Doherty is to be let off his 14-week sentence after serving just 29 days of his stretch. That’s not even a month. (Unless it’s February in a leap year smart arse.)

Since going inside Doherty has had to cancel numerous gigs but as things stand, Glastonbury is very much on the cards for the lead singer.

Found guilty of continuously breaching his probation, Doherty was sent to Wormwood Scrubs to clean his act up. Despite rumours of heroine reaching the artist whilst behind bars, it has to be now or never for the troubled Doherty to kick his habit. Let’s hope he repays the lenient justice system with some more epic tunes and a shot at redemption.

Best of Luck Pete.

The ethos of Emily and Fin combines simplicity with individuality.
