reply to fashion interview


FINALLY! I have a reply from 'Country House Outdoor' he answered the questions I'm happy with the information I should be able to create an interesting article from this;

Hi Rebbeca sorry for taking so long-bet you thought i had forgot!!!

Al the very best with your course.

See below

1) What fashion do you introduce during this season, what is the main style popular this autumn?
OUR MAIN FASHION ITEM THIS SEASON IS BARBOUR, ESPECIALLY THE QUILTS AND INPARTICULAR THIS ONE:

2) What essential item of clothing do you suggest, those living the rural lifestyle for this autumn/winter?

A PAIR OF GOOD FOOTWEAR EITHER AIGLE/HUNTER WELLIES OR THE ROLLS ROYCE IS THE DUBARRY GALWAY-THERE ARE THE BEST!

3) What are the top five general pieces for a successful outdoors holiday?

WATERPROOF FOOTWARE, WATERPROOF COAT-STYLIST LIKE AN AIGLE SUGEY OR A BARBOUR NOT A MOUNTAINEERING COAT FROM NORTH FACE OR BERGHOUSE, FLEECE MED WEIGHT SO NOT TO HOT BUT NOT TOO COLD, GLOVES HAT AND SCARF FOR WINTER OR SUN GLASSES SUN SCREEN AND SUN HAT FOR SUMMER.

4) How important is it for people pursuing a rural lifestyle or activities to wear the correct clothing and why?
VERY IMPORTANT AS IF YOU ARE WEARING THE CORRECT CLOTHING YOU WILL FELL BETTER, IF IT IS RAINGING OR WET AND YOU ARE WET AND COLD THEN THATS NO FUN, IT IS ALSO NOT SAFE IF YOU ARE GOING UP A MOUNTAIN-SAY BEN NEVIS IN SOME SHORTS AND TRAINERS-NOT A GOOD IDEA BUT WILL HAPPEN EVERY WEEKEND


5) You must be very proud to use your specialty to assist those on what they need and provide them with the correct items, how does this make you feel, and how do you put it in to practice within the business?

WE HAVE A SIMPLE PRACTISE-ONLY SELL WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, WE ALMOST NEVER HAVE ANY OF OUR PRODUCTS GO WRONG,WHEN THEY DO WE SORT IT VERY VERY QUICKLY, SERVICE WISE WE SERVE ALL OUR CUSTOMERS IN A WAY THAT WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO BE SERVED IN OURSELVES-GOING THE EXTRA MILE REALLY DOES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

I Have contacted Gary Rhodes' PA she says she will forward Gary my questions, I have asked him questions about himself and his profession as a chef (personal questions). However I have also included questions in which will set me up for the both the theme of my magazine, and topic of the article.
Heres to Wishful thinking hope I get replies soon.

Fashion Interview


I have been in contact with an outdoor fashion company
'Country House Outdoors'

They sell lots of various outdoor clothing such; Barbour, Hunter and Dubarry to name a few. They said it was ok for me to email them some questions on what is in fashion for those living the rural lifestyle this autumn/winter as those are the seasons I will be focusing on for my theme. Hopefully this will give me a greater insight to what direction my fashion article should go in and provide me with the correct information to create and informative, interesting and contemporary piece.

Fingers crossed I get some feedback soon so i can move forward with the production of the magazine.

Magazine

I have emailed lots of places for interviews, Willow Pool Garden Centre, Tatton Park, Delemere Forest, Blakemere, Bents, Apple Jacks Farm. Hopefully I will get some feedback.

Still waiting on Brian Mellor (chef) for a reply on the questions I sent.
Focusing the magazine on Seasons, events, food, clothing, rural living.

My plan is to visit places and take pictures for my reviews of places to visit and what it has to offer and who for.
