Matt Ford Interview for www.sevenstreets.com

I'll just lift the first bit from the website if you want to read on just click the link at the bottom...

A SINGLE MAN 

One Liverpool photographer is doing more to get our city ready for its close up than anyone. With his edgy and singular style, it’s just possible Matt Ford might even kill off those stereotypes once and for all, too.

MATT FORD BY HANNAH ELLEN.

W

hat do we look like? Well, if you grabbed the chance to watch the VBS hour long documentary ‘Beautiful Liverpool’ on our site last week, we look a little, um, sad.

Who knew our lads were even more orange than our lasses? Who knew everyone in town knows Amanda Moss? Who recognised the city they call home?

Well, in part maybe. But mostly we saw cynicism, desperation and the same, lame targets being coerced into reinforcing the same old stereotypes.

Cheap shots.

So we thought it only fair to redress the balance – and talk to someone who knows the true story. Someone whose refreshing and playful eye focuses in on a city that’s far more interesting, surprising and, yes, stylish than any tired and lazy documentary could ever show.

Because, let’s face it, if you want to know how beautiful we really are, you’ve got to do more than just scratch the surface.......

KIKI. Kirsty Doyle's exciting new daywear range.

Kirsty Doyle portait by Matt Ford.

With the likes of Machino with their Cheap and Chic range or Alice by Alice Temperley, it was only a matter of time before Liverpool's much loved bespoke fashion designer came up with her own range with a more accessible price point.  

Kirsty tells me she named the range KIKI, after the childhood nickname given to her by her younger sister. The new brand echoes some of Kirsty's famous designs such as the Lenore dress (strapless bustier) and the satin tuxe jacket.

The debut collection for KIKI tones down on the usual luxury silks and opts for breathable spring cottons, perfect for day wear. KIKI S/S11 promises to be affordable luxury....I'll let Kirsty tell you about the rest and show you her favourite pieces...(video includes prices)

The Global Summit for Human Trafficking. (Ethical fashion blog continued)

To see the full fashion shoot and info that was featured in this mag click here.

Well firstly I've got to say how proud I am of the editor, Sophie Welsh, for taking what stated off as a news letter and turning it into a glossy microzine with an initial run of 10'000. Sophie then managed to get an audience with key organisers at the Global Summit for Human Trafficking to discus her plight and publication. Even the Chief of police for the cause now owns a copy.

The microzine, that will be stocked in Liverpool soon, features an ethical fashion shoot with clothes made under humane working conditions and with environmentally friendly resources and more importantly some hard hitting information on human trafficking. With over 800'000 women, children and even men being smuggled across boarders each year for slavery and the sex trade, Sophie hopes to raise awareness and also raise money for the charity with the profits from the microzine.
