2-page spread featuring Buckets! Zoom in to read the full article.
Clare gets 2 pages too.
Following on from my post last week on Ava's Menswear last week, where I mentioned that I have had an article published, well feast you eyes because here it is. The article features in Ava's Fashion Design 08: Styling. Both myself and Clare were asked to take part in a short interview on the subject of blogging, which seems even more relevant now as it did at the time. At a guess it was about a year 1/2 ago.
I have to say it's given me the biggest buzz to see something with my name on it actually published in that is on sale, my mum will be proud!
i love what you wrote and your honesty about fashion blogs where their aim is to become blog famous. With yours i feel that your popularity was a natural occurrence rather than something seeking for rewards.
ReplyDeletei have come across alot of blogs where im feeling talked down to in a sense and the way you write is truly genuine.
also your blog isnt just full of fashion. i like the fact you post stuff that truly interests you and the reader can get a sense of individual character.
more to the point, congrats on getting published!
Ah, I know I said it but I'll say it again- well done and a massive congrats! It's so exciting :)
ReplyDeleteinfamy! aha, this is such an achievement, well done to you (and to clare!)

Congratulations - that's fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteWow, congratulations! If that was me I'd be over the moon!
ReplyDeleteThat's seriously awesome- so proud of you. I love how you wrote about the blog. I've always loved your writing!
ReplyDeleteI went to Glasgow when I was younger and barely remembered anything! But I do just remember one amazing and biiiig church in the town. Oh and it was so so cold up there! Went on April, I think.

Massive congratulations :) Seeing your work in print is so exciting. I've had some short stories published and seeing them in print was the ultimate high point. *two enthusiastic thumbs up*
ReplyDeleteWhat you wrote about the difference between menswear blogs and the standard women's fashion blogs is true and is part of the reason I enjoy menswear blogs so much and always hanker after more. I find the writing itself can often be far more mature and there's more consideration given to the details/colour rhythm/chosen aesthetic for a collection/overall history of the label. I'm not really sure why this is.. *shrug* Seems like women are more susceptible to the addictive nature of trend-led fast fashion than guys.
In response to your request for good fiction, I hope this little shortlist is not too cliché:
Milan Kundera, William Burroughs, Anais Nin, Jack Kerouac, Bret Easton Ellis, Philip K Dick, Kurt Vonnegut, Charles Bukowski, Mary Gaitskill, Anne Enright, Patrick Hamilton, F Scott Fitzgerald, JG Ballard, Graham Greene, Antony Burgess.
Really well done with your article. Yeah I can find some blogs to be a bit in your face which is hard to digest. I have yet to tell anyone I physically know about mine yet, I like how it's sort of tucked away.
ReplyDeleteSame here with the surrealism movement, my work is based on the surreal, kind of bonkers element as I just love creating these sort of weird, collasped like forms. My mum would rather me paint landscapes though bless her!
Had a good nose at those strange photographs and especially found this one (http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/terminal01/2011/3/18/15/enhanced-buzz-32476-1300477632-19.jpg) disturbing! Also enjoy Scotland!
wow this look awesome !

This is fantastic! Well done Mat! I loved what you wrote about blogging integrity, I dunno about the UK but here in America there are sooooo many blogs out there for freebies! Its so disgusting! Where I work I get an email a week asking us to give them something for free for a giveaway. Normally I keep an open mind but not once has it been a blog I'd actually care for...
ReplyDeleteThat's a great said and told. I really like the content on your blog. I also know a quality Brand known as Black Wood for Men which offers great quality skin nourishing products for men. It is trusted by people in the USA and around the world. The skin products on Black Wood for Men are made with natural ingredients and quality paste of herbs. You should really use its skin care products for your skin health.
