Unbound will go on
Sometimes what you mean to say and what actually comes out can be quite opposite.
As a new writer for the Interrobang newspaper, I wanted my first article to be bold and that would interest fashion lovers, evoke passion and instigate a response from concerned individuals. There was definitely a response from the article published, and I can't say that it was all positive. Like the childhood game of telephone, my words were taken and edited, and morphed into a misinterpretation of what was original stated. I'm not putting the blame on anyone, but the record does need to be set straight. The errors in my previous article need to be outlined to eliminate any confusion.
In my original article, I stated that the effect of Project Runway on Fanshawe College Fashion Design was merely an opinion and not a statement. In no way do I endorse the downright fact that Project Runway is having a negative effect on Fanshawe College, because it simply is not true. There are various reasons as to why Fanshawe graduates may not continue to show at Toronto's LG Fashion Week, and the main point of my article was to encourage designers to still grasp all the other opportunities we are given and prove that this is not a setback, because Fanshawe College will still equip us with everything we need to succeed, regardless of one bout of misfortune.
Furthermore, a statement was made at the end of the article giving the indication that the Unbound Fashion Show would be no longer. This is not true. The Unbound Fashion Show will continue this year, and the next year, and so on and so forth. It is, in my opinion, the greatest annual fashion show in London, and I'm quite confident that this year will be better than ever. The third year students are extremely talented and are bound to blow us all away. In fact, the date has been set for the show; it will be held April 16. I hope to report more on the event closer to the date but it will be as always, an incredible show to attend.
I'd like to apologize to all faculty and students affected by the misinterpretation, and hopefully we can continue to promote the show as much as possible before spring 2010. I would also like to thank Elizabeth Oakley and Leigh-Ann Waller for being so understanding through this issue and providing so much undying support for the Fashion program at Fanshawe College.
Editors Note: A previous article in Interrobang Volume 42, issue 5, dated September 21, 2009 and titled Fanshawe's style being cramped by Project Runway Canada by Alyssa Pageot had been edited in error. We regret any confusion and misunderstanding this may have caused Ms. Pageot and the Fashion Design program.
