House of Fraser Adds the Exclusive Label Lab Brand to its Young Brand Portfolio

London, England (PRWEB) May 9, 2010

Label Lab has become the latest hot new brand from House of Fraser. It launched Spring/Summer 2010, and it is the newest addition to the House of Fraser young brand portfolio.

The Label Lab (http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-hof-Site/default/Search-Show?prefn1=brand&prefv1=Label%20Lab&fromBrand=Label%20Lab ) look has an eclectic, rock chick vibe. It draws inspiration from vintage designs and the rock music scene, with a true London feel. Label Lab womenswear (http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-hof-Site/default/Search-Show?prefn1=brand&prefv1=Label%20Lab&fromBrand=Label%20Lab ) has created an individual style that has an edgy wearability to it.

The overall look is both distinctive and highly fashionable, it is both glam and casual, and it's perfect for those looking for a more exciting and individual style.

The Label Lab collection will appeal to those looking to unleash their inner rock chick, as well as those who have a passion for vintage fashion. Pretty meets grunge in lace and sequin detailing paired with khaki shades. Motif tees add a quirky feel, and look great with Label Lab's denim range.

The range comprises stunning separates created in sumptuous fabrics. Light cotton dresses sit beautifully alongside lace crop tops and billowing silk shirts. Whilst high-sheen harem pants get an androgynous makeover when paired with the tuxedo jacket or leather jacket. A high fashion denim range consisting of various washes and stages of distress, gives the wearer more options from their wardrobe, and the sequin encrusted hooded jacket and fringing detail tanks add a fashion forward point of difference.

Attention to detail is key to the Label Lab ethos. Rivet and chain detail hark back to the Punk movement and symbolise individuality and rebellion. Whilst sequins and lace offer a girly vintage feel which work beautifully against the harder edged pieces.

As for key pieces the Goddess dress is a definite must-have, the maxi length with heavy brass embellishment is a hot look for Spring/Summer. The other Label Lab dresses (http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/women%27s+designer+dresses/301,default,sc.html?prefn1=brand&prefv1=Label%20Lab ) are equally statement making, and the vintage look dress, dip dye chain dress and jersey maxi dress are all perfect for the Festival season.

Label Lab will sit alongside other key fashion brands on houseoffraser.co.uk including Therapy, Warehouse, Ted Baker and Oasis clothing (http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/on/demandware.store/Sites-hof-Site/default/Search-ShowBrand?brand=Oasis ). The price range sits perfectly with these much loved high street brands, with prices starting at ?15 for a vest, ?40 for dresses and ?50 for jeans.

Topshop Unveils Exclusive Collection Designed by Up-and-Coming Fashion Star Mark Fast

London, UK (PRWEB) July 11, 2010

Topshop has unveiled Mark Fast's first capsule collection. The high-impact five piece knitwear collection echoes the aesthetics of Mark's mainline label, featuring his trademark intricate knitwear and sexy skin-revealing panels.

Mark was inspired by sleek exotic birds for his collection for Topshop, particularly the shimmer of their wings and the movement of their feathers as they fly. This references his SS09 mainline collection, his first collection following his graduation from Central Saint Martins which captured the attention of the international fashion press.

Mark Fast is a Canadian born knitwear designer. His work is often inspired by the endless possibilities of lycra yarns, sculpting areas of tension and areas of volume over the body. He is also obsessed with texture, and the relationship between garments and the wearer's body. All these things are evident in his latest exclusive work for Topshop.

The star of this five piece collection is a body-conscious high-impact dress which is heavily embellished with matte rubberised beads, adding weight and drama to the fine knitwear. A knitted skirt in dark grey hugs the hips, whilst a one-shoulder dress in pale pink is subtle and understated.

The Mark Fast collection (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?beginIndex=0&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=220538&parent_category_rn=175985&langId=-1&top=Y ) is concluded with a lilac-grey crochet dress covered in tiny holes, so as to appear moth-eaten, and a black sleeveless mid-length dress.

The collection is available from Topshop stores in Oxford Circus, Liverpool and Manchester Arndale as well as through the Topshop website.

About Topshop:

Topshop was established in 1964 and is part of Arcadia Group Ltd. Sir Philip Green became owner of Arcadia Group Ltd in 2002.

Having won several awards for design reputation and new services, Topshop positions itself as a fashion authority supplying all women's fashion needs. Topshop is continually recognised as being an authority on women's clothing by continuing to provide key fashion pieces such as jeans (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=115935&langId=-1&top=Y ), bodycon dresses (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?beginIndex=0&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=162920&parent_category_rn=42344&langId=-1&top=Y ), shoes, trousers, maxi dresses and skirts, as well as fashion essentials like make up (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=206987&langId=-1&top=Y ).

Topshop was the first fashion retailer to show on schedule at London Fashion Week in September 2005 when it presented its own acclaimed in-house design collection Unique (created in 2001); this brought subsequent partnerships with international boutiques as far flung as Tokyo and LA. Topshop continues to grow its reputation for supporting exciting new talent.

APM Music Partners with ReverbNation to Bring an Exclusive, Handpicked Library of Indie Music to the Production Community

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 22, 2010

APM Music, the largest production music library in North America, announces the launching of ?ReverbNation Music", an exclusive production music library supplying high quality independent artist music to producers of television, film, video games and more, via a partnership with ReverbNation.com, the leading online marketing and promotion platform for over 850,000 musicians, labels, managers and venues.

?The marketplace is inundated with non-exclusive aggregators gathering and offering content en masse with limited if any concern for the artist or client. This has not been beneficial to artists, to clients or to the marketplace as a whole,? stated Adam Taylor, APM Music president.

APM established the partnership to address issues affecting the licensing of indie music into programming and is founded upon the pillars of quality content and representation, fair price for artist and client, and freedom from worry about copyright claims. In contrast to other indie song licensing programs, the music in the ReverbNation Music library is exclusive to APM, is vetted by both ReverbNation and APM for quality and any potential copyright issues, and is backed by APM?s indemnification guarantees. The program offers artists access to the powerful APM distribution channel system.

Utilizing its deep understanding of artists? fanbases and popularity, ReverbNation invites a select group of artists to audition for the library. Every track is then reviewed by APM?s music department prior to acceptance into ReverbNation Music. This process ensures that the library enjoys the same quality as every other track in the APM catalog. Auditions are ongoing with new music being added to the library continuously.

This rigorous dual vetting offers producers a collection of fully cleared indie music of the highest quality at APM?s regular library rates, completely risk-free and indemnified by APM against any issues that could derive from sampling, non-exclusivity or copyright claims.

?Not only does APM offer a tremendous distribution channel for the ReverbNation artists, but they share our values and a common vision around innovation in indie music licensing,? says Michael Doernberg, ReverbNation CEO. ?ReverbNation is committed to bringing the best opportunities to its artist community, and it is difficult to find a more perfect partner than APM.?

To review, download and license songs from the ReverbNation Music library, go to http://www.apmmusic.com/myapm or call APM?s Music Directors or Client Services at 323-461-3211.

About APM Music:

APM Music (a joint venture of EMI Music Publishing and Universal Music Publishing), the largest and most diverse collection of original music available to entertainment and media producers, provides North American-based production clients with exclusive access to over 300,000 tracks of music produced specifically for use in film, television, radio, and new media productions.

Some of APM?s key clients include CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, ESPN, MLB, PGA, Universal, Discovery, Current TV, MTV, BBDO, Electronic Arts, Oprah Winfrey and thousands of others. Recent APM Music credits include: ?Avatar?, ?The Backup Plan?, ?Date Night?, ?Prince of Persia?, ?Glee?, ?Gossip Girl?, ?Mad Men?, ?30 Rock? , ?Big Bang Theory?, ?Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?, ?Assassin?s Creed 2? and ?Monsters vs. Aliens? video game.
