With the first Forever 21 store in Europe opening in the Bullring, Conor Fitzhenry and Perri Ross went down to talk to the Marketing Manager and Vice-President about how the shop is different to all the other high street clothing retailers.
They also spoke to the new face of Forever 21, Amber Le Bon, to see what her thoughts were on the shop and how successful it would be over in the UK.
What do you think of Forever 21? Just another clothes store in the Bullring or bringing American fashion to the UK? Get in touch and let us know!
We’re moving! (well, not very far)
It’s exciting times at Scratch towers! After months (possible exaggeration) of waiting and building excitement, we’ve been given the news that over the summer we’re moving! Cheers and celebration all round, I hear.
Today brought an announcement from BCSU that Level 2 of the Students’ Union Building on City North Campus is set for a total revamp over the summer. The good news is that the work includes moving the Scratch studio, along with the other Media Groups.
The plans mean that not only will our studio be easier for everyone to actually find, but you’ll be able to see and hear Scratch across the revamped Level 2. With a rebuild of the studio now in it’s final planning stages, work will start in the over few weeks.
Our new studio sits next to the new Media Groups office on Level 2 (the old Waterstones for everyone returning to BCU) - where Scratch will be working together with Tiger TV and Spaghetti Junction.
Hopefully by now you’re as excited by the move as we are! Come September, we will be up and running from our new studio bringing you a fresh sounding Scratch (not only because we’ll actually have an opening window) with tons of amazing shows and events for Freshers 2010.
And, if this post isn’t long enough already, the move isn’t the only news on the Scratch agenda. Over the summer we’re busy beavering away on some other highly exciting plans which we will reveal in due course.
Keep up to date with all the latest from BCU's Scratch Radio. Look out for info on new shows, presenter bios, behind the scenes stuff and so much more!
