Uniform dating Edinburgh: PR

PRESS RELEASE

As Edinburgh Based bloggers we love seeing images and videos of Edinburgh! We love this city Interviews about dating in Edinburgh. Tell us what you think?

The Uniform Dating team have interviewed Edinburgh residents on the street to find out how they feel about online dating, whether they'd used it before, and other questions about dating in general. As you can imagine, there's some weird and wonderful people in the city (and we didn't even film it during the Fringe!) and I think the results would be fun to share!

Kewpie Collection‏ - PR

PRESS RELEASE

We were invited to the Abandon Ship Apparel first look for their new collection! Unfortunately we had a prior event on in Edinburgh that evening.

How cute is this collection!

ARE YOU LOVESTRUCK BY ABANDON SHIP’S KEWPIE COLLECTION?

With their big eyes, chubby bellies and ickle squishy cheeky-weekies you want to pinch all day, kewpie dolls are a mainstay of popular culture and have been for over a century. Conceived by awesome illustrator and badass women’s rights activist Rose O’Neill, these angelic little chubsters graduated from comic books to collectibles in 1912, and now you can find them on a special range of Abandon Ship products designed by Barbie Lowenberg of long-time ASA collaborators and all-round wonderful human beings Longfox. In addition to their usual cheeky hijinks, we’ve introduced our little army of kewpies to tacos, watermelons and upside down crosses!

The image of kewpie was based on the child-god Cupid, god of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection, so it’s fitting that we are launching a whole range of cute-as-a-button Kewpie products right in time for Valentines Day! The collection includes a skater skirt, pencil skirt, crop top, iPhone case, iron-on patches and if you’re in the mood for romance we have something special — an intimate two piece consisting of a crop vest and high-waisted knickers. You won’t need to be shot with any of Cupid’s arrows to be smitten with these cutie-kewpies.

The lovely Amanda from HoneyPop modelling! http://www.honeypopkisses.com/2015/02/kewpie-love-from-abandon-ship-apparel.html

The kewpie range is launched in-store this week!

#Loveyourclothes

We went along to the Zero Waste Scotland love your clothes event on the 22nd January at the Scotland Redesign limited Edition store, Ocean Terminal

. 

Our blog sisters from Glasgow Sherri and Claire hosted the event via their PR/Marketing company Betty&Bee.

I felt the event was really educational as it was all about environmental sustainability and maintain sustainable fashion. Who else better to host than our favorite bargain hunters Betty&bee.

The girls gave us style tips, showed us a rail of their favorite garments, and even taught us ways to recycle/renew outfits. For example your favorite jeans that have became baggy in the knees use a cheese grator and a back comb brush to give rip detailing and authentic trim look.

Love Your Clothes aims to raise awareness of the value of clothes and help us make the most of the clothes we already have. We focus on encouraging people to think about way they purchase, use and dispose of clothes. We provide easy and practical tips and advice on how to:

• make your clothes last longer

• reduce the environmental impact of laundering your clothes

• deal with unwanted clothes

• make the most of your wardrobe.

#STANDFORSOMETHING - PR

PRESS RELEASE 

DR. MARTENS TEAMS UP WITH TALENTED YOUNG DESIGNERS IN EDINBURGH

EDINBURGH College of Art students have been given the chance to have their work seen and judged by an international footwear and clothing brand, in a live design brief.

Dr. Martens has tasked second year Fashion students to design an outfit that reflects the brand’s current #STANDFORSOMETHING campaign, and Edinburgh’s musical and cultural history.

Throughout Dr. Martens legacy, the brand has been adopted and subverted by countless rebellious characters, subcultures and tribes. These are the people who stand out from the crowd in their own unique way and for many, their journey of self-expression has always been accompanied by a pair of Docs.

Dr. Martens celebrates these free-thinking individuals; from first-time wearers to those who have been with the brand forever.

Dr. Martens UK retail marketing manager Amy Nelson said: “Our #STANDFORSOMETHING campaign features authentic characters of different ages, backgrounds, occupations and personalities. They all have one thing in common – they wear Dr. Martens boots and shoes with pride and passion, an empowering mark of something worth standing for.

“We are looking for the Edinburgh College of Art students to interpret this on a local level, taking inspiration from the historic city around them – Scotland's festival capital. We’re really looking forward to seeing the results.”

Drawing on local music, sub-culture and the brand ethos, the design can be for a male or female. Students will present their work to Dr. Martensin February and the winning student prize will be an outfit from Dr. Martens and their own design on display in its popular Princes Street store.

Edinburgh College of Art’s Coline Henault said: “It’s been fantastic to offer this opportunity to our students as Dr. Martens is a brand they can really connect with, accessible on the high street but a global choice of footwear.

“At Edinburgh College of Art we created the 'Diversity Network', which underpins a teaching structure where students are asked to consider who they are designing for – not to solely focus on the industry standard of a catwalk model, but to look at a broader range of age, shape, race and character.

“This project will require them to source their own 'muses' to design for and Dr. Martens is the perfect fit to do this. It’s giving them license to experiment with a brand that is rich in history, yet remains at the forefront of style.”

Mad Hatters Tea Party at White Stuff UK

I just wanted to send a wee e-mail out to you to say thank you so much for the time and effort you put into helping us organising our 'tea party' event last night. We were a little worried that the weather might have been a damaging determinant and, I'm sure, without your constant posting and promoting it wouldn't have been anywhere near as fun!

As I mentioned last night, we would love to support you guys with any up and coming events that you think we might be able to help you with...
