Lets have a little chin wag...

Running up to the completion of Dictation Manipulation's first quarter, I thought it would be rather nice for us all to find out where we're all from... Oooooh and look at this clever little map I found! Yes that's us - all over five countries in two continents: USA, UK, Germany, Sweden and Romania. Isn't it thrilling!


During this time we've been looking a selection of different takes and opinions on the fashion industry, little idiosyncrasies within it and the wheels and cogs keeping the whole machine running... We've been interviewing Ella and Kate, collaborating with FUTV (A lot more to come!) and attempting to spark many a debate with the odd controversial quote!

What I'd like find out, if you would kind enough to oblige (Thank-you, Please) is a little bit about all of you!

Please drop me a line at dictationmanipulation@gmail.com, giving me a little bit of news about you: First Name, Where you are from, profession, age and interests...

Dictation Manipulation spends the day on set with FUTV!

So I spent all day yesterday, sitting eagerly on side-lines (and probably sticking my little nose in where it wasn't really required! Tee hee!) of the FUTV pilot shoot. [What do you think of their new logo by the way?] Where those clever things had arranged an in depth, poignant discussion on Size Zero.


This debate was directed by FUTV's extremely engaging presenters Beki and Ore (Profiles coming!) and was attended by Lynn Crilly of National Charity B-eat, James, Fashion Designer at CSM and Eleny Renton model booker at Quintessentially Models... who from each of their individual industry stances - attempted to explore this highly controversial subject - and rather professionally done I might add! But don't worry guys, you won't have to wait until the release date on SUB.TV, because those lovely people at FUTV have agreed to showcase snippets from the show, exclusively, right here on Dictation Manipulation!

Aren't we lucky!

Dictation Manipulation teams up with Fashion University TV.

I recently learnt about a new and exciting initative from a group of clever Londoners...

Their vision? - Fashion University TV (It's so new that they are still popping the bubble wrap!)


FUTV, a fast paced, highly current, visual and provocative fashion themed television programme to be shot across London and broadcast nationwide via SUB.TV. The show will feature Industry interviews, street intercept Vox Pops (that I'll be hosting!) and high profile studio debates such as The size zero debate and Is fur fair?, reaching a potential audience of 1.8 Million viewers each year - that's pretty darn impressive figures if you ask me!

So, look forward to the odd excerpt of their innovative work, and make sure you keep an eye out, come April, when they are set to broadcast across all student union bars in the nation...

... but for now, if you'd like to contribute to, or be part of FUTV then please contact James on fashionunitv@hotmail.com.

Until then, 'F U!'
