New Feature Friday!

Featuring Fox + Stag

Happy Friday to you all! I hope all has been well with you as we now transition into Autumn, seems the summer days have just flown by. I'm excited to introduce this company I have come across, and feel as a fashionista their pieces are different from the rest, with staple pieces that will turn heads for sure! Fox and Stag was born from the salt marshes of Essex, Massachusetts and the concrete sprawl of Los Angeles. Their fashion displays American street couture that's affordable style that's not afraid to get dirty!

I'm honored to have interviewed the very talented Johnathan Woodman who formed Fox and stag and is also the Fashion designer. I hope you enjoy this interesting and informative interview as much as I did.

----------------------------------------------------

Interview with Johnathan Woodman l Owner of Fox + Stag and Fashion Designer

1) What has been your key inspiration to your current career?

My inspiration for designing Fox + Stag fashion aesthetics definitely all goes back to my roots of the East Coast. I was raised on the East Coast, but spread my wings on the West Coast. After moving back about a year ago, my designs have been inspired by the East Coast tradition, structure and good ol yankee spirit. However, it's hard to leave behind a bit of the West Coast flare so that has been thrown into my designs as well.

2) What do you enjoy the most about your job?

As a Fashion Designer & Tailor, I definitely agree with the saying “If you love your job, you never work a day in your life.” Therefore, I would have to say that what I enjoy most about my job is being able to create and transform my vision into a reality. I design and build everything from the ground up. From sourcing materials to making patterns, and building prototypes, I get to have my hands on everything which is rewarding within itself.

3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' moment?

To date, my 'proudest' moment would be 9 years ago when I became a father to my son. Starting Fox + Stag has been great, but not much is going to top having a son....But I am getting married in 2 days so that might come close!

4) Where do you see yourself in the future?

In the future I see Fox + Stag being a new staple for quality made products that allows me to live on a ranch with my wife and son.

5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the same career path as yourself?

My biggest piece of advice for someone who is starting out on a new venture as a Fashion Designer/Tailor would definitely be to make sure that you absolutely love the fashion industry and every step of the design and production process. If you have passion for your work, then the projects and obstacles that come your way will never be a burden to get completed but more as something to look forward to.

6) Which would you say is your favorite item from your shop at the moment?

My favorite item in my shop currently is the Dr. Jones bag. It is stylish and classy, while at the same time sturdy, durable and versatile. The Dr. Jones bag is more than just a fashion accessory, it has the functionality to do more than just look good. Whether you use it to load up tools for a weekend of camping or a trusty spot for your Macbook Pro during the week, it always comes in handy!

However, my favorite item is subject to change because I will be launching a new Fox + Stag Iphone 6 case along with some new winter bags which I am so excited about! Stay tuned by following us on Twitter and Facebook!

----------------------------------------------------

Wishing you all an amazing weekend, if you get some free time check out Fox + Stag on their platforms more details of their items can be found on Twitter which is regularly updated.

Also a massive thank you to Johnathan and his team for allowing myself and my readers to get a closer in-look to the company and items and I wish you all the very best with your business!

Featuring Microcosmos

Wow can't believe it is Friday already! Seems as if the weeks just fly by when its the run up of Feature Friday! Hope you are all doing well, sat comfortably and with a warm drink, ready to see this week's feature.

I was approached by Microcosmos during my usual social networking on Twitter in regards to my Friday Features; I had not come across this company before and when I clicked to see their website I was hugely surprised.. Their clothing is all completely unique and designed using premium Italian fabrics for sewing work and digital printing. It is almost like fashion artwork, they've created pieces such as T-shirts to even pregnancy wear! These garments have been made in Spain compliance with the principles of responsible trade made in Spain too! It's my pure delight to share this new exclusive company with you all!

Twilight star Judi Shekoni is a fan and First Lady Michelle Obama has also requested one of the stylish tennis outfits. As well as being recently launched in the UK, America and Australia, 30:fifteen is also about to launch in Dubai.

Emily's designs make Tennis wear for women flattering for all body shapes and come in variety of colours too. Her line has been featured in Top Sante, Tatler and has been requested for fitness shoots for Marie Claire, Health and Fitness and Women’s Fitness, which are all due out in the summer.

Interview with Emily Tonkin l Tennis Wear Fashion Designer

1) What has been your key inspiration to your current career? So many people inspire me to be good and do good,(my dad is definitely one) but I have 2 close friends who I met in my first week at FIDM in LA and they are both so talented, creative and head strong:- they definitely inspired me to go with my heart and create something I am so very proud of.

2) What do you enjoy the most about your job? The creative freedom. Everything you see about/from 30:Fifteen visually from the garments to the website, to the social media pages to our newsletters is all controlled by me. When I see the end product and hear peoples comments/feedback that is by far the best part of my job.

3) To date, what has been your 'proudest' moment? Graduating from FIDM, I proved a lot of people (myself included) that I had successfully turned my life around for the better and having my mum, Dad and Brother there together to share it with, really made my heart happy.

4) Where do you see yourself in the future? Still doing what I am doing, building 30:Fifteen into a truly successful lifestyle brand, and keeping our partnerships strong.

5) What tips/advice would you give to someone who wants to go down the same career path as yourself? Believe in yourself.

6) Which would you say is your favourite item that you've designed at the moment? From our debut collection I just loved the Alethia Dress. It is the same dress Michelle Obama requested, but it is also my favourite of the dresses to play tennis in. It's so flattering to my body shape and it makes me feel very confident/comfortable.

-------------------------------------------------------

I'd like to thank both Emily and the wonderful Catherine Lynn Scott from London Flair PR, for their time. It's really opened my eyes to sports fashion and the talented people behind it.
