Before anything start, I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone
who contributed and enjoyed the magazine. Your support is the biggest
motivation for me and the team to make sure WestFASHION
MAGAZINE continues.
Many of you may know how much it costs to produce each copy, but
for those of you who just joined us this issue, it costs more than £9 per copy.
That does sound like a huge amount of money but I have paid all of this
because I understand that at the end of the day the result would gives me
far greater rewards other than money, also maybe investors or even more.
To make our life (mine especially) easier, we have decided to release this
issue (odds) in PDF format instead of the ACTUAL.
This issue has been named as mini-mag but I think you could kinda
guessed that it won’t have as many pages as the last issue, but still I can
promise you even though it is thiner but the quality has stayed the same. I
am sure after you have read this, you will look fabulous and will have saved
money by not buying non-essentials.
Summer – Beach, Sunglasses, Shorts, Bikinis, N*ked, Tan,
Bodybuilders, Skinnies, Sun, Brownies, Holiday, Hot, Sweat, See-Through,
Blinky, Yello, Red, Light, Soft, Easy, White, and Grey.
That’s the key. What is it mean? Figure it out yourself!

high-standard entertainment self-made shows, such as soaps and talks.
We were there! Graduate Fashion Week! We are delighted to tell you that we were invited to attend one of the fashion shows within

weren’t able to take photos of the fashion show, but we have found photos released for the press, as
scheduled, the show will feature within WFemme section and for more, go to our MYSPACE Blog.
H Collection SS08 Runway Show Success
Our editor-in-chief has constructed a
Spring/Summer 2008 fashion show at Oriental Evening in St
Bede’s School during March. It has a huge success. More
photos and information will be featured within these issues.
.
Work as a team!
We are very glad that WestFASHION MAGAZINE is able to set up our very own office in one
of the building within St Bede’s School. The headquarter will approximately run right until end of
summer. After summer, everything is gonna change, so be surprise!
WestFASHION South-East TOUR!
Since we have our own little office, our
own bus is also available. In these 7 weeks we
have been to Brighton, Glynde, Eastbourne, and
London. Like you never thought about it! So next
time when you go around, check out a green bus
with “WestFASHION | MAGAZINE” on it!
MEDIA
<P.04444> WFMag.
If you have read the previous page, we have a new partner: Red Bubble Media. Starting
from this issue, RBM Page will be featured as for them to promote their new programmes, but also
introduce themselves. Here it is:-
Red Bubble Media was founded by Charlotte Phillips
and Joe Irwin (Shown in picture) in September 2007. After internal
staff problems at Malarkey, Charlotte and Joe set out to make a new media
company called Red Bubble Media.
Ok, so what is Red Bubble Media? Well, Red Bubble Media is
basically a film production company ran completely by teenagers, we make
films and show them free of charge on the internet. We mainly focus on
comedy films such as our new sketch show basically called 'Sketch it' but
like any other production company we are capable of creating more films of
different genres.
In coming future, we will have a new weekly radio show called
J-Squared starring our very own Jess Wilkinson and Joe Irwin .The show is a
comedy show where based on a topic and discuss for an hour (with music
half way through which is under negotiation) but the twist is that in each
show, six quotes are hidden within the show, who could remember the
most and at the end of each month, we will announce the winner.
We don't have many staff but are growing with more people wanting to join Red Bubble, all of our staff act in
the shows, even the technical guys. Our main initiative of the company is to show people that teenagers can do
something fun and practical with their time instead of being cooped up indoors or hanging out on street corners which is
the usual stereotype.
We also just like to show people that fun comes in many different shapes and sizes, such as making and
acting in films. We do have a lot of fun producing the films we make right the way through from planning to presenting.
Our staffs include:
Charlotte Phillips, Joe Irwin, Carmen Sole, Jess Wilkinson, Elliott Gledhill, Lee Jarratt, Alex Hurren
All of our staff with their unique sense of humour, from witty remarks to full on comical jokes accompanied
with the list of staff growing, there's no awkwardness for sure to the comedy we can produce as well as serious material.
We have also gained another company as a partner called WestFASHION Magazine, this should hopefully
mean that both companies gain the same amount of attention from the nations. With both companies working around
the clock, a fantastic media range sure fulfils your entertainment pleasure.
The latest developments from Red Bubble Media are the Red Bubble Golden Area which users can sign up to
and gain exclusives from Red Bubble. Also the Red Bubble Games which is a new games website where people can play
games online for free as well as write your own reviews and rate the games.

We want to make sure that the amount of money you paid is worth it and as
we always says, UNIQUE & PERSONALITY.
So no matter what pictures (either our team or else), you WILL NOT be able to find it
on Google Image Search*.
That’s how WestFASHION works.
*= Except pictures within used articles. This been proofed by our research team.
How Do We Do It? Interest in the procedure that we need to go through to plan a photography trip, and how
do our E-I-C make it happen? Here is a section of photos that taken from our Fashion Editor while
Harry is taking photoshoot with the models in Brighton.
As we run the magazine with the lowest cost conditions, we used lots of different
environments to produce our photos instead of studios (even though we understand using a studio
could be better than a real environment).
Our first photography trip is to Brighton, as one of us suggests the walls (above) create a
unique environment for summer’s colourful and fun feelings. We were all very glad that it all went
very well as it was on a Sunday and it was quite near town which meant that lots of people were
walking past the streets that we took the photos on. Somehow embarrassing but somehow not.
<P.07777> WFMag.
Other than still pictures, E-I-C took the inspiration of action pictures, and told the models to
walk up and down the streets. It’s hard as all 5 of them have different outfits and different walking
speed.
But still, a few outstanding action photos taken on the day.
Want more embarrassing pictures of us?
Make your way to our MYSPACE albums
section, you will find more than few dozen
of outtakes photos and lots of other
photoshoot.

As if you forgot, here is a reminder of all the trends in this season.
Summer 2008Summer 2008Summer 2008Summer 2008
BLOCKED BLINK:
It’s time to choose the colour of the day.
Match a set of accessories with your clothes
or anything.
TRY THIS:
Get a polo-shirt with a collar in different colour to
the shirt. Match the collar’s colour to a belt. Pair it
up with light trousers or shorts (or dark as long as it
contrasts with the colour of your shirt).*Remember
that the colour should not match with your main
top or bottoms*
FORMAL DINNING:
Fancy getting out of uniform straight-after
school? Stock some leisure elements like
flip-flops, scarves and blink belt.
TRY THIS:
Go and look for those trousers that have specific
cuttings (straight fit/slim fit/skinny fit) and get
yourself a pair sharp shoes (formal/leisure) to make
up the look *Remember to stock yourself a belt as
well, and try avoid black if possible*
<P.09999> WFMag.
LIGHT & SOFTEN:
If block blink stuff doesn’t suit you, try light
& soften. By wearing lighter fabrics with
lighter colours, it allows you to create you
own unique look. Match with other
accessories as well, such as bags or
sunglasses. Suitable for the beach.
TRY THIS:
Try to stock some lighter coloured clothing and
maybe a suitable size (not too big, not too skinny)
within your wardrobe. Match it with its original
blocked colour; Add similar colour cardigan, or
darker colour shorts.
EDGE + ZIPPERS:
Zippers are frequently used within this
season’s jacket. Unusual cuttings make the
outfit more energetic but also very
slim-fitting and accompanied with shirt and
striped tie, and skinny silver belts. Sure
Burberry don’t quite like matching colour
this season, waist belt is firstly introduce
within menswear industry, but still the
outfit look stunning.
TRY THIS:
Clash Colours instead of matching them (even
though one of the trends is matching then but still…)
or bright up the outfit by adding bright clothing or
accessories such as sunglasses or bags.
<P.010101010> WFMag.
So……… What else?!
Need some more looks or suggestions? Here you go. Whole page. Trends that are still amazing but
not mainstream.

Alexander McQueenAlexander McQueenAlexander McQueenAlexander McQueen His collection always works with everything making it perfect for the summer wardrobe: part
freewheeling hippy, part surfer and part rebel – albeit with a cause to effortlessly dress up or down
as the wave takes him.
<P.013131313> WFMag.
Bottega VenetBottega VenetBottega VenetBottega Venetaaaa After a little grey-ish collection, more azure and other interesting colours, such pink, are
in for the summer. Golden Suit is also another favourite of the show. Formally Sexy seems like the
dress-code for the summer.
<P.014141414> WFMag.
Calvin KleinCalvin KleinCalvin KleinCalvin Klein What can we say about Calvin Klein SS2008 in summer? Trading from its autumn seasonal
palette like yellow and brown to a softer colour; Sheer fabrics used more often accompanied with
lighter colours to create soft layers but also edgy. All designs reduced to their purest form, but still
keep its elegance and the one everyone wants.
<P.015151515> WFMag.
Dolce & GabbanaDolce & GabbanaDolce & GabbanaDolce & Gabbana Although it’s summer, but scarf-fever is still on, and more and more block colour
combination appears to be more seductive. While the trouser designs loosen up bit, the upper part
has never gone tighter accompanied with scarf, surely summer-breeze is the inspiration. But still,
how can we miss out the underwear models? Ready for the beach?
<P.016161616> WFMag.
DSquared2DSquared2DSquared2DSquared2 As you can see, more and more bright colours added with less and less layers of clothing.
It’s just a very stand-out design with a normal summer design guideline. Compare to its spring
designs, it went more similar and pure (other than less layers) but it show a simple soft contrast
which makes an attractive look as well as banging colours together like Black/white. How brilliant,
so girls, are you looking at the clothes or the pecks?
<P.017171717> WFMag.
GucciGucciGucciGucci WHERE GOOD BOY GONE BAD
With sharper cutting, and more chopped edge, better sex-appeal actually could be
expected from the brand. Motorcycle pants in traditional fabrics and leather, or brightly coloured
jeans, were youthful and chic at the same time.
<P.018181818> WFMag.
Roberto CavalliRoberto CavalliRoberto CavalliRoberto Cavalli This season, Roberto carries the leather hit to the spring collection, as more skinny
leather trousers, and more intelligent design. By adding little bit of clashing accessories make the
whole outfit look rather better than matching colour.
<P.011119999> WFMag.
VersaceVersaceVersaceVersace An occasional (but judicious) stab of red; different colour transformation through
clothing; see-through black knit; while silk sleeveless shirt have made this collection more
glamorous than ever.

H Collections SS08 – From the beginning… While our Editor-In-Chief invest his
best in the magazine, he also invest a lot of
time, work, and money to make his dream
come true – having his own fashion show.
Luckily, the chance came around
December, when the news of the Oriental
Evening scheduled in March, Harry (our E-I-C)
and two other WFemme members put on an
audition for those who were interested to
model his own collection.
In the first audition, 60 people came
along with confidence and fight to have this
experience and join the show. Harry saw
there might be some more people around
wanting to join as well, so 2nd
audition was
scheduled 5 days later.
40 more came, which means 100 in
total wanted to get into the show. After
discussions with other staff, less than 15
made through.
Then 2008 came around. While Harry
tries to finish his collection off, the others try
finishing their exams off as soon as possible.
Consequently, there was never a chance to
rehearse until the day. The day before –
Friday, while one of the school houses are
having their formal dinner, Harry, himself,
starts setting up backstage, lighting, walking
schedule, and outfits.
On the day, he skipped his lunch
and went straight to the venue, to start
preparing the runway and other preparations.
Suffering from the fact that the models
haven’t arrived on time, Harry and other
make-up stylist started to discuss about the
themes and make sure they are sure what the
theme is within the collection.
<P.021212121> WFMag.
The evening scheduled to start at 7:30, and
fashion show scheduled at 7:45. One hour before –
6:45, backstage is just as rush as those real fashion
shows. Hair Straightener; Outfit fittings; Make-up;
Schedules; Lighting; Music; and everything you could
think about in a show came across in the last hour, for
sure Harry was so stressed within that hour.
Entrance opened at 7:10. Within 10 minutes,
all 100 seats been filled. After entrance closed at 7:30,
130+ peoples entered the hall ready to be entertained
by a new completely new concept of Oriental Evening,
as the past years, it took place within a big gym while
everything happened within, but this time, there are
entertainment hall, dinning hall and Irish Bar.
The evening started 10 minutes later than
planned. Some instrument performers played before
the fashion show. After the instrumental, “Feedback”
by Janet Jackson starts playing while the hall blacked out. Once the song starts “Light Skin, Dark Skin,
My Asian Persuasion…” the show walked down with H Spotlight Collection. The collection consists of
3 dresses made by Harry.
<P.022222222> WFMag.
After H Spotlight, the show carries on with more diversity than ever, with H ClubHouse, H
Beachwear, H Original, H Mix Cultural.
<P.023232323> WFMag.
So what do people think about the show??
“Best fashion show ever in St Bede’s History”
“It’s very nice to see a big range of models is used, as the size zero-zero is the zero.”
“I have never been jealous before, but tonight was the night I got jealous all night.”
“This has been the most professional fashion show ever seen, and been directed by one of the
youngest upper fifth in the school, it’s just amazing.”
“Everything just perfect – music, clothes, even cat-walk.”
For the first time ever in 10 years of running the Oriental Evening is being featured in the
school news area. Our editor-in-chief is bliss that he has been called the new McQueen, and helped
Oriental Evening became headline news within the school and was embarrassed about being in the
articles with the thumb up.
Anyway the night was amazing, and we all hope (even himself) H Collection will continue
with more diversity range, and models, but who know what going to happen as he is leaving the
school, which mean next year Oriental Evening maybe not as good without him.

H Collections SS08 featured more than 20 outfits, so if you would like to browse more photos in the

Apologize for missing out women’s trend section in our last issue. Here are the trends for:-
Summer 2008Summer 2008Summer 2008Summer 2008
ALL-IN-ONE:
Easiest but still a
fashionable outfit
return to the
runway with more
added edges and to
match up with the
season, more softer
and light colours
are used.
BRIGHT COLOURS:
Just like men’s

of meaning adding
bold elements,
wear lighter colour
clothing.
<P.037373737> WFMag.
“GET NAKED
(I GOT A PLAN)”:
Fewer layers are
featured on the
runway. Other than

Next Season : Get Ready! You might say “What? Next season is like thousand years away, why get ready now?”

secretly mix in with the coming season clothing, but you might require time to find. So we think that
you should grab a first peak of what is the key for the next season. Male’s trend is on next page.
