Villainous Visard is a t-shirt brand which is influenced by comics, hip-hop, manga, japanese street wear and villains of course. After seeing most of the brands out in the UK scene I just felt that there was not enough of a connection, a story, a theme, so I set myself a goal of creating something that was firmly routed in an ideology of the villain and the mask!! Origin of VV©.

There is very little that is known about Villainous Visard. At some point in his life, he had his nose, ears, and cheekbones shaved down so he could easily mould his face to the mask. Once the mask was worn it would be able to manipulate minds as well as mimicking different personas. Villainous Visard would even go as far as to swap his blood for that of the subject he is mimicking. In his mind, he not only would take on a disguise, but he would become that very person.

Designed by Hannah Morrison, in a departure from the usual band merchandise, bamboo fabric T-s were printed using soft water based inks to create a retail look for Deadmau5. The garments were then re-labelled and presented in organic canvas bags, also printed with water based inks.  In a music download culture, it looks like artists are not just recognising the increased importance of merchandise, but also wanting to present a high street quality product.

The new 2010 collection from October Textiles Ltd will not only see the introduction of new garments and fresh photography, the new look book, features the first in a series of both Organic and Sustainable products.

The ORGANIC COTTON label by October is a stock collection of the highest quality blank garments produced in 100% pure organically grown cotton. It is certified by the Control Union World Group, to the Organic Exchange 100 guidelines and the Skal International standards for sustainable textile production, which verify conformity with organic regulations of Europe, Japan and the United States. The cotton is cultivated in the Aegean region, wholly without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, in “Living Soil” that has been free from any toxic substances for at least 3 years and enriched by organic compost and other organic matter. This means that the soil and water supply are cleaner, which in turn protects the local population and wildlife. The resulting cotton fiber is processed into fabric without the use of harmful chemicals or bleach.

October Textiles Ltd offers both undyed and dyed organic cotton items, and to achieve organic certification only azo-free dyes that meet the requirements of the Global Organic Standard are used in the dyeing process.

The SUSTAINABLE label centers round naturally sustainable BAMBOO which is gaining popularity in the fashion world due to its light, almost translucent yarn that has a natural quality that feels like silk, but with the practical advantage of being machine-washable.

This natural fiber is hypoallergenic, absorbent, and is naturally anti-bacterial so will not hold odor. It also is the most sustainable of the natural fibers, reaching a mature height of 75 feet in just 45 to 60 days. And, because of its natural antibacterial properties, it needs no pesticides.

It regenerates naturally through an extensive root system that sends out an average of four to six new shoots per year and can be harvested repeatedly.

Finally, when your bamboo garment finishes its useful life, it can return to nourish the earth, as it is 100% biodegradable.

“We are simply following in the footsteps of other forward thinking companies that are trying to lessen the impact they have on the environment. We’re not here to preach or convert – just to do what we can to conduct our business responsibly and encourage others in our market to do the same”.

OCTOBER PRINT NEW T-SHIRT AND CLOTHING RANGE FOR SWEATZ SPORTS as worn by MICHELLE HEATON……

Celebrity Big Brother star Michelle Heaton has revealed she uses the revolutionary Sweatz Vest to help shift those extra stubborn pounds!

Michelle, who is currently sporting a fabulously slim, new look, says the Sweatz Vest is perfect for losing weight and making the most of your workouts.

Launched to help natural weight loss, the Sweatz Vest works by increasing your metabolism as you exercise by increasing your perspiration levels.

I have been using the Sweatz Vest for over six months it really helps me to make the most of my workouts, said Michelle. It works by making you sweat more doesn’t sound too good, but it uses up more calories! The water lost is replaced by drinking, but the calories used to create the sweat stay off.

Using the vest, coupled with a healthy diet, has helped me to lose two stone and keep it off which makes all the difference to the way I look and feel. I love the fact that even though it makes you think ‘urgh’ at first, it helps the body detoxify. The sweating removes chemicals stored in the fat cells, which makes my weight loss easier, added Michelle.

The patented, and 100% toxin free, biodegradable vest is simply worn beneath your usual training clothing to help generate dynamic weight loss. The vest works by causing the body to sweat more, which uses up more calories.

Effective for a range of sporting activities, and costing less than £10 for a pack of eight, the vest is thrown away after use and as it is manufactured from safe, toxin-free, 100% bio-degradable polythene, it will cause no harm to the environment, making it a win-win item for everyone.

The vest can be used for gym exercise, cycling and cardiovascular workouts, circuit training, spinning and aerobic classes, jogging, rowing, weight training, walking/rambling and body contact sports.

The vests can be purchased online at www.sweatzsportz.com. With a purchase price of £9.98 for eight, they come in both male and female styles and sizes.

Well quite a night was had by all at the Trent Fm Arena on Saturday when Britain’s Finest, Carl “The Cobra” Froch fought and successfully beat Andre Dirrell. Carl and the whole Team Froch Crew were completely kitted out by ONETrueSaxon®, along with many, many very passionate fans who had don’d their Team Froch limited edition T’s. ONETrueSaxon have produced the Team Froch Official Merchandise and created their ‘Super Six Printed T’s’ to celebrate Mr Froch’s inclusion to the tornament, which are available now from ONETrueSaxon.Com

Carl was finally allowed to enter the ring around 2.40 Sunday morning to a reception fit for a conquering hero, which of course he is. Flanked by his brothers Lee and Wayne with the WBC Super Middle Weight belt held aloft, Carl swaggered to the ring adorned by his OTS designed gown featuring the brand new Team Froch logo heavily embroidered across the back, once in the ring and once the deafening cheers and “Welcome to the jungle,” by Guns n Roses had died down, he revealed those shorts!

 The shorts had been 9 weeks in the making, from initial sketch on a “post it” whilst having a chat with him, to CAD layouts and then to final heavily detailed hand guided embroidery. Featuring on the right leg our very own British bulldog “Winston” and the ONETrueSaxon logo, and then underlined by the OTS tagline which has become synonymous with Froch “Undisputed . . . NEVER DEFEATED” The back of the shorts were equally as impressive. They featured the redesigned CF Union Crest and flanked by two striking cobras in silvers and grey.

Carl, his corner men and his team certainly looked the part and certainly didn’t disappoint once the action got underway, true Dirrell came to spoil the fight by holding, complaining and skipping backwards to avoid Carl letting go of the “tools of the trade”, his fists, you could see how nervous he was but this was because he knew he was no match for Carl’s power. Carl’s win was no surprise and now he marches on to meet Kessler in Copenhagen in the spring,.

However, before that he has the less dangerous but equally exciting task of becoming ‘The Face of OTS’. He will be featured in the new Spring Summer 10 Product Guide and the Advertising for the next year. We’re all admirers of Carl not only in the ring but how he deports himself in general. A truer Gent we’ve never met and as such he’s a great fit for the understated but powerful style which is part and part of our Brand’s DNA.  

Things look very positive for ‘the Cobra’ and very positive for ONETrueSaxon®

“ We make a living out of what we get, we make a life out of what we give.” Winston Churchill.
 ( the man not the dog). Carl gives his all and is the very epitome of Onetruesaxon®

ABOUT LOADED’S CHARITY AUCTION!
As Umbro unveiled their razor-sharp new England kit, style-experts waffled on about how the simple white shirt carried ‘traditional values of classic tailoring’. Loaded just saw a blank canvas on which to wreak merry havoc. And so we asked England’s hottest, coolest and newest designers to make their mark. Within days, these cats had ripped, sewed, applied graffiti and in one case fired a twelve-bore shotgun at fabric, to bring you these works of football art. Even better, the whole lot is up for grabs. If you fancy one of these nifty designs, get your wallet out and bid because all the cash is going to The PSP Association, for people with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

ABOUT CHATEAU ROUX SHIRT!
Soho-based Chateau Roux are best known for their beautifully soft, bespoke, hand printed garments – oh, and their eccentric imagination. Who else uses fabrics such as bamboo to create their tees, or a shotgun? The Chateau Roux ‘England on Safari’ shirt was inspired by next year’s World Cup in South Africa. The design incorporates the iconic Three Lions using the triangles and bold shapes for which Chateau Roux are renowned, then the shirt was finished off using their not-patent-pending Shot Blast Air System, which is created by opening up a 12-bore shotgun onto it…They’re geniuses. Dangerous, dangerous geniuses.

At last a worthy 80’s based music band with a worthy and updated fashion and image sense. La Roux, a refreshing alternative to the hashed up and mashed up graphic artists and fashionistas who have tried but are just too young to get it right. Well I was there and I loved it. La Roux have managed to present the theme brilliantly and present a modern version. A splodge of interior design from the 20’s, a spoonful of Mondrian  colouring, lots of right angles, with a touch of the Bauhaus design principle. Only a hint of the trademark shoulder pads evident, a wise decision.

Stickhedz launches to target the latest players in the recession-riding sport.

Think Polo think elitist sport? Not anymore. Official figures show that since 2001 the number of registered players in the UK and Ireland has almost doubled.

Polo has had to evolve in the face of the economic climate to survive and the businesses connected to the world of polo are finding themselves having to change rapidly. One such business launching this month is Stickhedz.

Stickhedz aims to change polo fashion to reflect the actual needs of these new players, grooms, trainers and fans: affordable fashion they will want to wear on and off the pitch.

The last twenty years has seen polo expanding at such a rate as never seen since pre WWI amassing some 3250 registered players. Sam Morris-Warburton, long-term polo-addict and director of Stickhedz said, “All walks of life have been flocking to take up the challenge of this modern extreme sport as it has become more and more affordable. I want Stickhedz Polo Apparel to reflect the fresh new approach this influx of people brings to polo fashion and the way polo sees itself.”

Online fashion bargain hunters now have access to a dedicated fashion comparison service that aims to make shopping for clothes easy, quick and suitable for any budget.

Founded by three entrepreneurs from Nottingham, Style Compare  was set up to make online fashion shopping easy. By putting all of your favourite brands in one place, with a comparison tool at your fingertips, you can find the right item at the right price – hassle free.

Style Compare recently launched to enable a quick, comprehensive and trust-worthy price check of over 20,000 different items, is keen to offer the much needed service to the price conscious fashion buying public.

A model that has experienced huge success in the financial services sector, price comparison is yet to fully encompass the whole retail market, with fashion being one area in particular that has so far been weakly serviced by any comparison service.

“Stylecompare.co.uk makes it easy for people to find the right product at the right price” – says co-founder Jonny Challenger.

He continues – “It enables people to shop for their favourite brands from their favourite retailers, such as Laura Ashley, Urban Outfitters and Miss Selfridge to name just three, whilst knowing that they’re getting the best deal.”

With strong relationships with some of the fashion’s biggest retailers, Style Compare combines the familiarity of the high street with the convenience of online shopping – all guaranteed to be at the best price.

Additionally, a regular flow of discount codes makes Style Compare an essential online service for anyone looking for a stylish bargain.

Style Compare is the brainchild of Jonny Challenger, Jake Gibilaro, and John Nolan – all under the age of 30 and all sharing a joint frustration at the lack of comparison services for fashion conscious online shoppers.

Co-Founder Jake Gibilaro said. “If you’re looking for car insurance, a loan or even a toaster, you’re likely to be able to run a quick and reliable comparison. But if you want a maxi dress, trainers ,or a playsuit, you have to either hope you’re getting the best price or spend hours going back and forth between sites to find the best price. You may as well just go into town”.

The site was launched on 27th April 2009 and boasts over 20,000 products from 500 different labels and an increasing amount of big-name retailers.
