"hey paulina, i think people are generally quite harsh on gordon brown. he lost the sight in one of his eyes and is partially sighted in the other. so considering that, i think it's a great thing that he himself is able to write personally to…"

Azaan Akbar commented on Attia's blog post What does fashion mean to YOU?
"To be honest, there IS a distinction. I'm not being skeptical - it can be changed. But really, it doesn't. The sort of arts that EVERYBODY endorses are things like music, dance, drama, etc. I think that fashion could be a bit like this -…"

Attia commented on Attia's blog post What does fashion mean to YOU?
"Well to me...fashion is self expression for a designer, which should be respected just as any other art. To what azaan said though, fashion DOES apply to the masses! Making a distinction between the 'rich men and women who can afford the…"

April Williamson commented on Attia's blog post What does fashion mean to YOU?
"*wow* this looks like it was so amazing! I think that there are both positive and extremely negative aspects to the fashion industry. On the plus side, the fashion industry is a way in which creativity can be expressed and give many people a common…"

What does fashion mean to YOU?

To some, London Fashion week is life. Literally. Some people spend 6 months planning what they're going to wear to the one in February, and then spend another six months planning what they'll wear to the one in September.... Others can't see what the big deal is. To them, it's useless; a way for consumerism to distract people from what really matters. I disagree.

LEJU - ethical fashion at lfw....

So I'm at London Fashion Week, watching shows and talking to the exhibitionists showing there. I just spoke with a really interesting woman called Lenny Trines; holland born but living in the UK.

Viva, viva, Palestina!

Today, the 6th of January, the 'Viva Palestina' convoy, coming from London to the Gaza Strip via Europe, Turkey, Syria and Jordan, finally broke the seige of Gaza. After days of pressure from the Egyptian authorities, a different kind of pressure from the international community, and, I am sure, a lot of hard work from the convoy volunteers, a triumphant moment occured when the convoy entered the besieged territory.
