<p>Whatever “knife fight music” means, Hanni El Khatib self-proclaims it and can play it. This Ray Ban-clad musician with slicked-back hair and tattooed arms is basically the new-age greaser dreamboat that 2012 has been waiting for.<span></span></p>
<p>The <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/hanni-el-khatib/">LA Times</a> calls his September 2011 debut album, <em>Will The Guns Come Out,</em> “malt shop music for those who like their confections spiked with bourbon.” His songs, which include Local favorites “Dead Wrong” and “Fuck It, You Win” are filled with 1950s blues and rock n’ roll nostalgia that the new underground rappers and DJs could never emulate. And he’s accomplished all of this with cultural tastefulness and recognition: he’s been featured in French Vogue, opened for Florence + the Machine and is currently touring Europe.</p>
<p>As a first generation American with half Filipino and half Palestinian origins, El Khatib grew up in the wake of the San Francisco skate-punk era. Although his sound is vintage rock and grunge-y, El Khatib has worked as an art director, designer and for a clothing label/skating company called HUF. He just used to make music for fun until his songs got into the right peoples’ hands.</p>
<p>Although he doesn’t have an ex-wife who played in his band a la White Stripes, or play at Coachella two years in a row whilst singing for car commercials like the Black Keys, El Khatib’s sound is bluesy garage rock that makes you want to fight with knives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="body"><i>“I put out the music I love and never think about whether an artist is going to sell or not before I sign them,”</i> explains Johan Angergård - the mind behind Sweden’s Labrador Records, a label that’s shaped alternative indie and electro pop for over a decade and now suddenly finds itself as part of a booming Scandinavian scene flourishing along with it. As well as head of the Nordic-based venture, Johan has also played a major part in many of the bands he’s put out - making the label more of a community than a commercial outlet.
<p>
Angergård was raised in the small town of Åhus in the south of the country and this is where Labrador was first founded, back in 1997. In the early days most of the bands Angergård approached were more or less from his own neighbourhood, some even starring him as a member, with the initial plan of the label as being to release compilation 7" singles only. Soon Johan’s - as well as Labrador’s - ambitions grew and the label’s ethos became to “release the best Swedish pop bands” around. </p>
<p>
<i>“When I was 17 or so, there weren't too many good bands from Sweden, just enough to make a compilation album with 2-3 songs by each band I loved from my village,” </i>Angergård tells DIY - casting his mind back to the beginning of Labrador’s timeline. It was clear that Labrador was never going to be something restricted to Sweden, despite it’s localised focused, as Angergård continues: <i>“We thought of Labrador as an international label from the start. All my favourite labels had small followings all over the world and that's how I thought it would be with us too.”</i></p>
<p>
The first release was indeed, like Johan says, a mix of local beloved bands, putting out a 4 -track compilation single with Diganoise, Martin Thulin, Acid House Kings and Céleste. But there was something bubbling under the crisp Nordic soil that Labrador grabbed at with both hands. <i>“We noticed a prevalence of home recording artists making their way with the use of internet in various ways,” </i>Jonah says. <i>“When the bands had all the time in the world to produce music, their sounds became more experimental. Perhaps ‘unique’ is a better word because it wasn't experimental in a way difficult way.”</i></p>
<p>
<i>“The Radio Dept, The Legends and Suburban Kids with Biblical Names marked a new area in the labels history. These bands lead the label to the Swedish sales charts for the first time.”</i></p>
<p>
With a reputation that’s grown over the last fifteen years, the label now see themselves in a rather favourable position - as part of a wider Scandanavian scene that has bloomed into life around - and perhaps particular because of - them. 2011 in particular was a prominent year for Swedish bands outside of the Labrador roster, with Korallreven, First Aid Kit and Niki  The Dove wooing everyone from Radio 1 to Pitchfork. Elsewhere up in the Northern hemisphere, we’ve seen Norweigan acts introduced to Western audiences - such as Team Me and Ane Brun - as well as Soley from Iceland, Mirel Wagner of Finland and Denmark’s Iceage, Oh Land and When Saints Go Machine all flourishing.</p>
<p>
<i>“It's funny because ever since we started Labrador in 1997 we keep hearing questions about how good Scandinavian music is doing. But I guess now it’s more true than ever before,”</i> Johan opinions. <i>“I think home recording had an unusually strong impact on the Swedish music scene. These musicians didn't take inspiration from any other countries.”</i></p>
<p>
Even though Labrador stands as a home-grown export outlet, the rules are there to be bent however as Jonah tells us: <i>“As our motto is 'bringing the best Swedish pop to the world', bands do really need to be Swedish. But we've never really thought of what we actually mean by being Swedish. For example, if you're originally from the UK and then move here, can you be signed to Labrador? Maybe.”</i></p>
<p>
So what do the label look for in new bands? It must be tiring, ploughing through hundreds upon hundreds of emails from aspiring bands, right? Well, not for this label boss. <i>“I rarely read what the bands write in their email pitches to be honest. I just listen to the songs,” </i>Angergård admits. <i>“But I have to be surprised and moved. The music has to create a world of it's own and listening to it should absorb me into that world.”</i></p>
<p>
<i>“If it's a band that surprises me and make music I want to listen to over and over again I sign them even if they sound like something no one will ever buy.”</i></p>
<p>
Speaking of commercial success, have there been any uncharacteristic moments where Labrador have missed out on the next big thing, an act that has gone on to do extraordinarily well in their homeland and further afield? <i>“Well, I never tried to sign Lykke Li when I originally heard her demos but absolutely love the way she sounds today,” </i>Johan recalls. <i>“But it wasn't exactly like she was knocking on the Labrador door saying “Please sign me!” - her publisher just played me a few songs, sent a link or something like that.”</i></p>
<p>
So what does the future hold for Labrador? Angergård ends our discussion by looking towards the even brighter future that the label has laying ahead for both them and us as listenerds. <i>“Amanda Mair is the most recent act I’ve been excited about. Her album comes out soon too.”</i></p>
<p>
With record labels falling foul to financial crises all around, it’s hard to envision an independent label as invincible in this day and age. But conversely it’s the tight-knit, deeply-ingrained nature of this Swedish label, as well as it’s impeccable eye for forward-thinking talent, that will see it survive for hopefully another fifteen years and then some.</p>
<p>
<i>“It's great to see how most people who love one band on the label soon discover the other bands and love them too.” </i>Long will live Labrador, we’re assured of it.</p>

<p>NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --<br />
For the second year in a row, the industry's leading style/costume designer, B. Akerlund, was responsible for the dynamic and outre half time show fashion viewers have come to expect from the biggest music performance of the year.</p>
</p>
<p class="">
<p>The wildly anticipated debut Super Bowl performance from the Queen of Pop was crafted with a Roman Empire thematic in which every element was infused with a gladiator vibe mixed with modern day elements from Rome.  Madonna represented none other than the Queen herself and owned the stage with looks featuring Givenchy Haute Couture, boots by Miu Miu and earrings by Bulgari.</p>
<p class="">
<p>The fashion masterpiece took over three months to create in which Akerlund worked in lock step with the creative vision of Madonna who was involved in every detail down to each gladiator. Akerlund called upon the best and most forward thinking in the business to lend their creative genius, including Givenchy and Riccardo Tisci, who in addition to dozens of designers all over the world assisted in cultivating designs.</p>
<p class="">
<p>"This was by far the biggest challenge I have ever taken on in my career, and I could not be more honored to be a part of such an amazing and historical event," says B. Akerlund. "Nothing could ever come close to working with Madonna on this Super Bowl performance, her attention to detail and commitment to all of her projects is truly inspiring and life changing."</p>
<p class="">
<p>The performance consisted of 500 outfits including head to toe looks for surprise guests LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A. and Cee Lo Green as well as costumes for 100 drum line performers, 150 gladiators and 200 choir singers.</p>

<p>Since Billy Butlins first introduced the redcoats uniform back in 1936, the distinctive red blazers have become one of the most enduring sights at Butlins holiday camps. </p>
<p>But just as the famous resorts must change with the times to continue attracting holidaymakers, so the uniforms worn by the staff must evolve too. </p>
<p>Today Butlins unveiled their newest Redcoats uniform, designed by up and coming British designer Hannah Clayton. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.qualitysunglasses.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/rss-poster/cache/e93b6_article-2097235-119BAE1E000005DC-509_634x904.jpg" width="634" height="904" alt="Revamped: Butlins' new Redcoat uniforms, designed by up and coming British designer Hannah Clayton, pictured modelling the designs with a male model" class="blkBorder" />
<p class="imageCaption">Revamped: Butlins' new Redcoat uniforms, designed by up and coming British designer Hannah Clayton, pictured modelling the designs with a male model</p>
<p>The young designer, whose designs have been worn by Lady Gaga, was billed as one to watch by Italian Vogue - but has put her couture ambitions on hold for long enough to revamp the Butlins uniform. </p>
</p>
<p>Grimsby-born Hannah, 25, said she was honoured to redesign the iconic blazer - and spent time with the Redcoats to ascertain exactly what they wanted from their uniform. As a result, she decided to include a Redcoats dress for the first time. </p>
<p>'Having spent time with the Redcoats in Bognor Regis I was able to fully<br />
understand the importance of their role, the physical demands of the<br />
job, and how essential it is that they look and feel the part,' she said. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.qualitysunglasses.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/rss-poster/cache/e93b6_article-2097235-119BAFBD000005DC-33_634x698.jpg" width="634" height="698" alt="Butlins' new Redcoat uniforms, designed by up and coming British designer Hannah Clayton" class="blkBorder" />

<p class="imageCaption">Passionate: 'Working on this project has allowed me to design clothing that is aesthetically appealing whilst still functional,' said Clayton</p>
<p>'I’m<br />
passionate about creating clothing that is aesthetically very appealing<br />
whilst remaining functional. Working on this project has allowed me to<br />
do just that.</p>
<p>'The most significant changes can be seen in the casual outfits, which<br />
adopt a fresh sporty style with a baseball jacket, long sleeved T-shirts, trousers and red baseball boots.  </p>
<p>'The female Redcoats<br />
highlighted the desire to feel more feminine - therefore for the first<br />
time a dress has been introduced.'</p>
<p>The Redcoats have previously been redesigned by Zandra Rhodes and Jeff Banks, but this time Butlins said they specifically wanted a young designer who they hoped could 'relate to the Redcoats.'</p>
<p><img src="http://www.qualitysunglasses.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/rss-poster/cache/6c562_article-2097235-119CF82B000005DC-547_634x364.jpg" width="634" height="364" alt="Hannah Clayton modelling the shoes from her own label that were bought by Lady Gaga" class="blkBorder" />
<p class="imageCaption">Fans in high places: Hannah Clayton modelling the shoes from her own label that were bought by Lady Gaga</p>
<p>And Hannah is certainly well placed to do that. Having graduated from the University of Westminster just two years ago, she has already launched her own fashion label and sold one of her own platform shoe designs (of the likes she wears in the photographs) that was bought by Lady Gaga. </p>
<p>Butlins' Sales and Marketing Director says: 'The Butlins Redcoats are world famous and we felt that Hannah really<br />
understood the importance of maintaining some of the uniform’s iconic<br />
attributes, while bringing them bang up to date in terms of style.  </p>
<p>'The<br />
company may have 75 years experience of creating great seaside holidays<br />
but we are also committed to staying contemporary and relevant for<br />
modern families and the new uniforms reflect that.'</p>

<p>The Duchess of Cambridge has turned heads in several of her designs.</p>
<p>But for many, Jenny Packham's pricey eponymous label - which starts at £85 for a Swarovski embellished thong - has remained a little off budget.</p>
<p>Now the British designer, whose flagship store is situated in London's Mayfair, is launching a cut-price collection for Debenhams.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.qualitysunglasses.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/rss-poster/cache/aaf79_article-2092662-119BD491000005DC-44_634x681.jpg" width="634" height="681" alt="Jenny Packham" class="blkBorder" />
<p class="imageCaption">'No.1 Jenny Packham’ , a glamorous new<br />

</p>
<p>'No.1 Jenny Packham’ , a glamorous new women’s, accessories and children’s range designed exclusively for the department store, will retail from £85 to £160 and launches in April.</p>
<p>It captures Jenny’s signature style in a collection of 19 dresses, available in soft metallics, floral or intricate graphic prints and bold block colours.  </p>
<p>They feature Packham's signature wrapping, pleating and gentle draping of fabrics, in a variety of styles from floor-sweeping maxis to organza prom dresses. </p>
<p>A range of accessories including bags, jewellery, shoes and occasion headwear will complement the dresses, with prices ranging from £18 to £100.</p>

and at the polo in Santa Barbara (right) in 2011</p>
<p>The collaboration also sees Jenny’s<br />
first foray into childrenswear design, as the women’s collection is<br />
complemented by a capsule bridesmaid offer.</p>
<p>The flower girl and bridesmaid dresses take Jenny’s signature elegance<br />
and attention to detail, to create charming pieces for children,<br />
featuring georgette, lace and intricate embellishment to add sparkle.<br />
Prices start from £48.</p>
<p>In store ‘No. 1 Jenny Packham’ will cover approximately 8,300sq ft of<br />
space across 72 stores for launch, and will expand to a further 56 later<br />
in the year.</p>
</p>
<p>The first eight dresses in the women’s collection will be available in<br />
stores and online in April, with the remainder rolling out through the<br />
summer.</p>
<p>The designer said: 'As a young girl I<br />
was regularly abandoned in Debenhams Southampton whilst my parents<br />
disappeared to search for the latest Teasmade or some other ‘must have’<br />
electrical appliance. During this time I lost myself in the rails of<br />
70’s polyester and dreamt of a life in fashion. </p>

<p class="imageCaption">Jenny Packham <span class="st"> is a British fashion designer known primarily for her bridal gowns and ready-to-wear collections</span></p>

<p>'My collaboration with Debenhams is a great opportunity for me to offer my signature style at an attainable price.'     </p>

<p> Packham will join the likes of Julien Macdonald, Roksanda Ilincic, Jonathan Saunders and <br />Matthew Williamson who have also created capsule collections for the UK retailer.</p>
<p>With<br />
the luxury brand boasting an elite fan base, Jenny Packham's<br />
purse-friendly pieces are sure to be a hit with price-conscious<br />
shoppers.</p>
<p>Stars such as Rihanna, Keira Knightley, Beyonce and Cameron Diaz have been spotted in gowns from Jenny Packham and last year the Duchess of Cambridge opted the designer on three separate occasions.</p>
<p>The most memorable being a £3,800 shimmering gown worn to the ARK charity gala last year.</p>
<p>The 30-year-old was also seen in two dresses on the Royal tour to Canada and the U.S.</p>
<p>She chose a yellow sundress for her arrival in Calgary in, and a hand-painted floral frock to attend the polo in Santa Barbara, California, two days later.</p>
<p>Jenny Packham launched her first collection at the London Designer Show in 1988, the label now has stores in London and Paris, and is stocked globally. </p>

<p class="comment-body">I like how HRH Kate helps Britain's economy in this way. Not just a beautiful clothes rack, she is flaunting the best of British designers . Everything she wears sells out in minutes and she presents herself so well</p>

<p class="comment-body">Those dresses seem designed for a particular body shape, and it doesn't look like it'd be suitable for the bodies of most British people (statistical fact). She should try to get her brand to other countries -- Japan, Korea, parts of South America -- where there are more people of those slim shapes. </p>

<p class="comment-body">Those three runway dresses are magic. Flattering and elegant. The Debenham's example isn't too shabby either! Love it. Ladylike good taste. We need more of that from designers. A lot more.</p>

<p class="comment-body">Fred of Luton - please do yourself a favour and don't read these articles if you are not interested! Some of us are actually. And I did not understand - I've always understood that Prince William was born in Princess Charlotte's Hospital in London- so it would have been a hospital bed you are talking about? - jilly, London UK, 6/2/2012 14:12.....................................Sorry jilly, but you haven't understood the comment of Fred!<br />
