PBS is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Michael Gudinski. It is almost impossible to sum up the huge impact Michael had on the music industry locally, nationally and internationally.
Michael was a larger than life character, who championed local talent and built his successful Mushroom empire into one of the most influential independent industry groups in the world.
Over the many years of his industry involvement, Michael had always shown affection towards PBS. In 2003 Michael spoke about his appreciation for the work the station does in supporting new acts. “PBS is, and has been, the starting point for Australian artists, they recognise that they need you and know that your hand is there for them - If I’ve heard it from one, I’ve heard it from 100.”
Platform to lift Kenyan fashion designers
It is meant to give local designers visibility to a global audience.
Local fashion designers now have a new platform to showcase their work. The British Council through its fashion programme Creative DNA and UK-based Fashion Scout have launched Wauzine, an online platform featuring 11 emerging Kenyan designers. The platform also brings together cross-cultural collaborations between writers, illustrators and creative teams in both London and Nairobi. It is meant to give local designers visibility to a global audience.
The first of Wauzine’s three issues explores Nairobi’s neighbourhoods through a fashion story by photographer Maganga Mwagogo. It also features an in-depth essay by Awuor Onyango on the cultural and social lines that underpin the Kenyan capital. Wauzine is designed and created by the team at Fashion Scout, with Helen Jennings, the co-founder and editorial director of Nataal Media, as the features editor.
