  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Miss Dolly Parton

    This week, we’ve gone a bit country and dedicated The Fashion Office Recommends to none other than Miss Dolly Parton.  Obviously, it’d have been rude not to have included the amazing ‘9-5’ and after a rather ‘special’ day in the office, here’s to a lovely long Bank Holiday weekend. Enjoy. Sostylistic recommends a track named…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Disco

    After last week’s mammoth challenge of choosing a Power Ballad (and miserably failing), I’ll hopefully redeem myself with a bit of Disco… Plus, it seems we’ve been inspired by the amount of sequins adorning our fashionable friends today and created a flood of outstanding disco classics.  The Fashion Office is clearly a collective of closet…

  • CR2 Records Crank Up The Competition With 20th Anniversary Space ’09 Release

    Each year, there’s a veritable choice of Ibiza compilations to choose from.  Whilst I’m a big Azuli fan, a sample CD made its way to me last year to prove there’s only really one go-to label to wind you up for the White Isle, and keep you going long after a hedonistic week.  Who? Independent…

  • Love At First Sight Exists & It’s Rad

    Yesterday whilst checking out some new affiliates at work, I stumbled upon possibly the most exciting brand I’ve seen for a long time.  Rad, the new diffusion line from self taught American designer Rad Hourani launches this November – and it’s pretty special. If nothing else, (and from a purely selfish angle), he has encapsulated…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Power Ballads

    Seems each Friday, I take subconcious pleasure in making this as difficult as possible for myself – this week, The Fashion Office Recommends…Power Ballads.  Sorry people, things are about to get very slushy… Sostylistic opts for:  Aerosmith – Don’t Want To Miss A Thing. Ellie: Bon Jovi – Always. New Favourite Thing chose: White Snake –…

  • Radio One Exclusive: Faithless’ New Track – Sun To Me

    Before heading out and hitting the dance floor on Friday night, i tuned into Radio One by chance for what turned out to be an amazing set by Vernon Kay.  Standing in for Pete Tong, amongst some old classic house tunes, Kay delivered the exclusive first play of Faithless’ new track – Sun To Me.…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Sampled Tracks

    Is it that time already?  You bet.  The weekend is about to begin so whether you want to wind down or wind up, this week we’ve dedicated The Fashion Office Recommends to songs that have sampled other tracks.  I know the girls have found this one tough but I think you’ll agree, they’ve outdone themselves…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs That Stick Like Glue

    Once again, the girls have chosen some great tracks for The Fashion Office Recommends. This week, the theme is catchy little numbers that simply stick in your head and by chance, there seems to be a bit if an underlying Sade theme. So here they are, some great sounds to help you into the weekend.…
