Fashion Central Launches Fashion Networking/Community Site


Fashion Central
, an online magazine edited by Sarah-Jane Adams, who we interviewed last month, has expanded their offerings to now include a fully functional social networking site. Fashion Central community was created for those working in the industry (they have a group and specific forum for PR and events management) as well as the fashion-obsessed. Owning up to the old adage that it is often who know how in this business, Fashion Central’s networking site is where

big brands and celebs mix with new talent and independent businesses…and the Fashion Central family unites to share their opportunities, advice, and love of fashion. Want to chat about getting into the business, or the sale that’s on at Topshop…? We’d love for you to join us… we love meeting new people and featuring our members within our magazine!

The site was designed for designers, retailers, PR and events management, models, photographers, stylists, fashion students and dedicated fashionistas.

Features are user-friendly and include:
completely customizable profile, or ready made templates
* start or join groups, with their own comment board and forums
* photo albums, slideshows and photo rating
* personal blogs and notes
* access to our forums, for fashion, beauty and industry chat
* add friends, send messages and leave comments
* upload videos and mp3s
* personal event calender
* communal start page to promote your activities and keep you up
to date with the latest goings on of other members

Celeb members include international models Mosh and Zui Suicide.

Community badges make it easy to promote your profile on your other social networking profile sites. Check out PR COUTURE on Fashion Central community and let us know what you think about this latest social networking site for stylistas!

Operation Quiet Hero Delivers a One, Two Punch of Fresh Vibes and Wicked Tees

Don’t confuse Quiet Hero with another one of those “indie” t-shirt types. This label’s got a soul, personality, and an attitude to match. Catapulted to success by their recent acquisition of Fred Segal shelf space, San Diego based Quiet Hero has quickly become a cult favorite in “America’s Finest City” and far beyond. My interview below with Quiet Hero clearly showcases this company’s passion for combining art, global inspiration and an aesthetically cool sense of good will, all in an eco-friendly package.

quiethero.jpgPR: What is Quiet Hero all about? Who is the Quiet Hero customer?

QH: Quiet Hero is about the visible aftermath of blinding intensity. That’s as simple as it gets. I could muddy the water with all kinds of bullshit about bar fights and billionaire sunsets, old trucks and fierce dogs, far-off deserts and ports in a storm, but it comes down to this idea of putting what we have in the hottest fire around and then seeing what’s left after the heat goes down.

We’ve found the people who really dig QH are like us; they’re passionate about something, and they’ve got an eye for Art. Art in the form of pure input for the senses; not explicit, something that tickles a primal urge for the beautiful.

lovely_locks_vneck.JPGPR: What makes Quiet Hero different from the rest of the vintage-style t-shirt companies out there?

QH: Well, it ain’t the vintage t-shirts. :) I’d like to say it’s the art, but it comes down to the raw stuff we’re made up of; we’re a bunch of weirdo’s just running at the front of the wedge. You look at the things that each of us do or have done, and it’s the out-there stuff; running camel expeditions in Mali, rescuing animals in Mexico (I’m not talking kittens in cardboard boxes, either) or getting on a boat shorter than most SUVs and sailing down through the Panama Canal with a guy you barely know. It’s that kind of fire, or passion, or probably best, intensity, that makes our stuff stand out. Whatever we’re doing, from organizing the books to frenzied art sessions, we do it with that same intensity you get when you’re 30 feet underwater and out of breath, scratching for the surface.
