at the base of the staircase is mine from our London house." It is definitely a great chance to know more about this fashion icon!

Mark Graham ilovedust

it is the world of designers;

it’s designers’ circle.

This time we have one of TADO's friends - Mark Graham from ilovedust ilovedust is a UK based, young, energetic design team Mark is kind enough

to accept our interview although I only gave him 10 minutes to answer all the questions! ( That's because

we know you are busy, man! XD )

to be called Dust, but certain design agancies got a little annoyed at us as 'they owned the name ' paff!!

When you started the business, how did you find your clients? or how did they find you?

We beg stole and borrowed to get nice jobs, and went

to many many meetings and grew from there really

What inspires you the most?

Everything, theres quite a few of us now so I think we all inspire each other too

Like what you said on your web, "we have our fat little fingers in some nice pies " Which "pie" so far do you like the most? And which "pie" do you want the most now?

We want the TV Commercial Pie with Guiness and Beef, its a lovely looking pie !

We saw the boat design you did for HUGO BOSS!

That is awesome! It's pretty different than your other jobs! Could you tell us a little bit about this project?

Oh man in 10 mins??? it was a great project to work

on, we had NO idea how in depth it was but it was a very different way of working , but turned out looking like the Darth Vadar of the boat world Perfect

Tell us a little bit of your life Where do you live?

Where is your favorite place in the city? Why?

I live in the seaside town of Southsea, its right on the

southcoast of England I like going to the beach with

my dog Heskey and letting him swim in the ocean

until he wants to go home

A lot of people wish to work in different cities;

traveling around the world, and work around the world You must have been to a lot of places

Which city is your favorite? Why?

Lately i have travel a huge, huge amount and mostly

in the US, L.A, NYC

I really love NYC because i have some really great friends out there now, people i will know for life

My great friend Nichole works for Kid Robot and our studio and the Tado folk and Jon Burgerman are doing a show in San Fran with her, I have been there once and loved it so I cant wait to go back

1

What do you do in your leisure time?

Cook, east, drink , go for walks, watch football, design stupid things that have no meaning , wander aimlessly around supermarkets looking at packaging you know the normal kinda stuff :)

Do you love food? Do you cook? What is your comfort food?

ahaha yes indeed i do i LOVE to cook, I wanted to be

a chef but my Nan told me i was better at drawing !!

My comfort food is Macaroni cheese or Fish Finger sandwiches, but I do love cooking Mexican, i have been trying to master making proper slsa and sauces

If there is a chance for you to design a restaurant, what kind of restaurant will it be?

How will it be decorated?

Ioh god!! thats a dreeaaaaaaaaammmm job!

Simple food, lovely location, top quality ingredients and classic movies from the 70's playing on Sunday mornings with hangover cures and a good british fry

up and The Beatles odd mix i know

1

What does Design & Life mean to you??

shit! thats a very hard question I am not sure how to answer that I love what i do and its very important to

me, it easily has become part of my life, for better and for worse, for richer and poorer I hope doing what we

do means i get to experience lots of wonderful things

in amazing places

If the world doesn't need designers anymore, what will you do for a living?

can i still be a lumberjack ? I only have about

43 seconds left it was the best i could do under pressure!in amazing places Thanks for the interview Mark! Who will be the

next victim?

oh my next victim I choose Jon Burgerman

months industry average, ZARA's success is based

on innovation and flexibility This successful model is characterized by high degree of vertical integration, covering all the fashion process: design, manufacture, logistics and distribution to its own stores By

exploring the haute couture runway and observing their customers, their fashion designers always can catch the latest trend and satisfy the needs

Zero Advertising

"Our advertising is our stores," said Pablo Isla, the Chief Executive of ZARA "The money we save is spent on top locations The company also preferred

to take advertising saving to invest in opening new stores." In order to keep those locations fresh and surprising, ZARA brings new merchandises twice a week and over 12,000 new designs each year

ZARA follows trends, instead of setting them

All the styles you are anxious for, you can find it

in ZARA They are very sensitive to Fashion This special gene makes its clothes turnover faster and creates the highest sales figures per square meter in the fashion industry

Breaking Retailing Rules

For most clothing stores, keep best-selling item is crucial, but ZARA sees shortages as a way to give its product a feeling of exclusivity They don't want

to dress people in the same clothes The company tries to train its customers to shop more often so that they always have new stuff Every product is limited production If you don't buy it when you see it, you can forget about coming back for it because it will be gone very soon



ZARA Home

ZARA Home is another exciting happening in 2003 After ZARA tells people how to dress, ZARA Home wants

to show you how to live better Inherited from its fashion concept, the atmosphere of the shops present casual and luxury lifestyle ZARA Home focus on textiles, such as bed, table and bathroom linens, complemented by tableware, cutlery, glassware and decorative items

Lemon Rosemary Chicken with mushroom

I love to cook and collect recipes, but I never exactly follow the steps For me, cooking should be playful

I always put my imagination to someone’s recipe and bring it to my vision

My cooking rules are easy and healthy Modern people are always busy, and I believe, with 1/2 effort, 1/2 steps, 1/2 fat, 1/2 time of cooking, will also bring you to a lovely cooking experience and healthier dish

That’s why I called this chapter “1/2 Recipe” Cooking is art Let’s play

8

This is a satisfied light dish Think of tender chicken and juicy mushroom with refreshing rosemary and sour lemon When you cook with lemon, you don’t need to worry that it will make your dish bitter On the other hand, the delicate fragrance will make you impression Lemon wedges also caramelize on the grill, making them slightly sweet Try to make lemon chicken kebabs when you BBQ, you will love it as well
