As of today 27712 people from around the world have taken part including myself, yet still a massive 972288 people need to take part for this project to come alive. To find out more about this project I asked Tanya the creator a few questions. Were did you get your idea from for this project? I really can’t tell the specific moment when it came up. It’s like with all ideas, they come and grow for a while till they are so big that they have to be done. When did you start this project? It was less then half a year ago. I was thinking about it for years, and when I realized that I can use Facebook groups to gather so many people - the project came alive. My roommate has helped me with the site and few of my friends have helped me with suggestions and ideas. Of course there's the Facebook group whose members have given me tremendous support. It wasn’t easy, but the project is rolling now! How would you say its going so far? Great, I’m satisfied. I hope it will go even faster as the Facebook group is growing. The strange thing is that not all the people in the group uploaded their photos. I don’t understand it… Do you think you will achieve this? Absolutely!!! I’m 100% convinced!!! Were will it be published/placed for everyone to see? I’m already making arrangements to place a mosaic in major cities all over the world. There's a topic on discussion board in the Facebook group where people can suggest where it should be placed when it's done. Some of the ideas are great!I receive huge amount of e-mails every day in which people are expressing their support for the project and offering me all sorts of help. I didn’t expect that at all! What is the message/purpose of this project? It would be beautiful to have a chance to see so many faces at once knowing that every single one has a great story to tell. People from every continent, every country, all religions, all races and cultures collaborating together to create something impressive and immortal. It will be a great monument for all of us because it will exist long after our time. I just find it fascinating...

Art in Black and White™/ Text /Team Cut 9th October 2008 Cut fave Will Kay launches 'Legends' a new series of work as part of 'Art in Black and White' at London College Of Communication tommorow night. Look out for a limited edition Cut collaboration with the artist coming soon! 140 Grime Street™/ Text /Shona Harvey 1st October 2008 Billed as 'The biggest Grime event of the decade', Kano's launch party for his eagerly anticipated new album 140 Grime Street certainly lived up to the hype. The previously secret location - Greenwich's Indig02 - was jam packed on the night after 2,000 tickets were made available to the general public all at the cost of nothing. Before Kano hit the big stage, the audience members were kept entertained with sick DJ sets from Kiss 100's Shortee Blitz and Logan Sama, along with performances by Brixton indie band The Thirst and the Adidas-tracksuit clad Peridot dancers, who particularly generated a very positive and ear drum-bursting response from the female crowd-goers. As promised, the 'Prince of Grime' himself Tinchy Stryder also made an appearance, bearing Star In The Hood t-shirts ready to throw into the screaming masses. After a frustrating delay and a comical ten minute warm-up trailer of Kano's preparation for the event, the main man finally made his way on to the stage and opened up his explosive set with the album's first single Hustler. More guest appearances - or 'residents' as KA liked to refer to them - included Wiley, Ghetto and Skepta, with the latter (hilariously) sporting a white dressing gown and colourful socks during his performance of 'These MCs', another hot collaboration from 140 Grime Street. Following on from his latest material, revellers were treated to some old skool Kano tuneage, namely skankin' classic Nobody Don't Dance No More, Boys Love Girls, and female favourites Nite Nite and This Is The Girl. Skepta and Wiley returned once again as Wearing My Rolex and The Rolex Sweep were dropped to a huge response from the venue. Typical Me appeared to be the final track of the evening, but just moments after everyone had turned around to leave, all of the artists returned to centre stage once again for an encore which included the much-loved Ps and Qs - and this time Skepta was actually dressed in normal attire! As Kano noted himself, it's a shame that events like this don't happen more often, especially with all of grime's biggest acts united on stage together at the same time. The concert was the first of its kind and hopefully it won’t be the last. Orange Rock Corps™/ Text /Ronnie Grebenyuk 28th September 2008 The day all volunteers united under one roof at the Royal Albert Hall, the hottest gig of the year lived up to its name. The crowds energy was crazy, they were dancing and singing the lyrics to all the songs. With a mixed genre line up from Rock to Hip Hop, the gig definitely had something for everyone, with big names like Feeder, John Legend and Ludacris performing multiple tracks but Busta Rhymes was undoubtedly the highlight of the night. A big shout out to everyone taking part, see you next year and for those who sat there at home watching it on telly, thinking, 'I wish I was there' then sign up and take part in next years project. Simple as that! Hush Part 2™/ Text /Team Cut 16th September 2008 Big thanks to everyone who came down to Hush last night. Here at The Cut we were seriously impressed with the live sets from Cocknbullkid and Dels- Both gonna be BIG! It was also amazing to take a peak behind the scenes at the grandiose Albert Hall building, its a pretty special place. Look out for interviews from the night with both artists coming soon!

With over 40 new peaces of talented work will be featured from paintings, sculptures silk screens and photography there is no doubt this will be a amazing show. Since the press release T Magic got everyone talking and hyped up about the exhibition but no one exactly knows what to expect from the 24-year-old street artist. I guess we are going to have wait and see. Will he surprise us with what hes got to offer? His theme for this exhibition is ‘The London Council Estate’ which will look into his dark social interpretation of it all through his inspirations while growing up which he describes as ‘The Black Hole’. Which in the public eye has been portrayed with ‘poverty, ethnic conflict and crime’. His unique style of art makes powerful statements, has general energy appeal, and is a different way of passing on his thoughts in a way that is obvious yet at the same time enables people to really think about their own views. His work consists of three main things Colour, Contrast and Composition, which makes him truly talented and the reason why he has many fans and supporters including myself. Having already had two previous successful exhibitions at the Air Gallery in Mayfair with Jay Z and Pharrell Williams as fans of his work, it could only get better and I can’t wait!I got a chance to speak to the main man himself, he’s what he had to say. How does it feel having your own exhibition at a young age? It feels liberating to hold an independent exhibition at a young age. This is actually my third year in a row! What can we expect from this exhibition? The aim of this exhibition would be to offer insight into my world ‘The Black Hole’ and also sell my works. My art is a language to make people think about things in a fresh new way. Why did you decide on 'The London Council Estate' as your theme? I chose that as my theme because that is home and where I have drawn a lot of my inspiration from, and also I'm trying to make a change and represent possibility and progress! How does it feel having people such as Jay z and Pharrell as fans of your art work? It feels amazing knowing that Jay-z and Pharrell both have admiration for my work. If you would like to know more about T Magic then check out his stuff on http://www.tmagicworld.com and http://www.artismyhustle.com This could possibly be the most exciting exhibiton of the year so get your self down there and don’t miss out!

Looking at your blog you seem pretty prolific- how do you find the time to blog while working a full time job? Well, the thing is I don't have enough time to blog about everything that comes into mind and I tend to always have 15 ideas on the go and because I never run out of things to write about, I try to make the time to blog about them. It is the enthusiasm of wanting to break things to readers that keeps me going.... How much time do you spend a week on it? About 7-8 hours is spent on the actual blogging, image editing etc. Accumulating information and absorbing the stuff that's going on in fashion however is pretty much my daily life and is also part of my full time job as commissioning editor of Dazed Digital. Having you been dressing Barbie since day dot or is your passion for fashion a recent thing? I've been into fashion ever since I had the freedom to dress myself and to spend money on clothes and going back and forth between Hong Kong and London really accelerated that. The ability to buy fashion-forward clothes at cheap cheap prices in Hong Kong meant it wetted my appetite for developing a personal style. I see you’ve a piece on Andrea Crews- how do you feel about fashion and social responsibility? The whole sweatshop issue? I must admit, I'm no saint. I shop in the shops, which are guilty of crimes that I don't even know the full details about. Both high-end designers and high street stores are guilty of sweatshopping. Social responsibility has a long way to go before everyone who loves fashion can fully integrate it as part of their consumer habits. I always say as long as you get shoes and jackets right you’re sorted. Do you have any fashion fables? I don't like handing out advice. I like having the freedom to make mistakes and get it wrong. It would be wrong of me to dole out advice.... What do your parents make of it all? They're not really aware of it all! Who takes the pics of you or do you use a remote? I use a self-timer or the boyfriend. You seem to have been commissioned to do lots of fashion editorial recently- is it possible to make money through your blog and how much has it helped you build up your career and reputation? What do you mean by commissioned? Nobody has paid me to write about their work if that's what you mean.... I only write about things if I'm genuinely excited by what they do. It's true that they might send me something as a thank you but there is no initial monetary/freebie motivation to write about them...at the end of the day, their work has to be right for Style Bubble. I don't make money out of the blog.... but yes, it is possible. I just haven't really aimed for that sort of incentive. I have been grateful for the opportunities Style Bubble has given me and yes, it has helped me a lot in terms of building a reputation but I still have to prove myself in a professional capacity. Writing the way I do and blogging the way I do is amateur to say the least... All time style icon? Anyone who happens to catch my eye on the streets? I don't really believe in style icons.

Below: Sancho Panza Kickers Back to School with a difference with Kickers™/ Text / Chloe Forde 2nd September 2008 September is here, the summer is over and it’s back to school! The first few days of September are usually a rush, trying to cram everything in before that 7.30 alarm goes and its time to kick your brain back into action! The last thing that any of you want to think about is ‘a new pair of school shoes’. Well this summer we at The Cut have been paying close attention to the new and exciting range from Kickers, always known for their standard school shoe, we were pleasantly surprised to hear that they have teamed up with American-based funk masters Chromeo, to create some funky footwork! Kickers even teamed up with Sancho Panza this year at Notting Hill Carnival, and together released a pair of exclusive, limited edition shoes. It seems that with Kickers new and individual range, exciting collaborations and funky remixes, they are going to be a bit unstoppable this year! So don’t let the last days of summer be taken over by stresses of school uniform and school shoes. With all that’s going on at Kickers it seems you’d be silly to get left behind. www.kickers.co.uk The Real Fashion Heat™/ Text / Chloe Forde 2nd September 2008 The Fashion team at The Cut magazine are always looking out for new and exciting designers to include in their fashion shoots. This issues ‘Road to Carnival’ shoot showcases 5 pages of creative, vibrant and bright outfits. With clothes ranging from established brands such as Lyle and Scott, Adidas and Primark complimented by the work of up and coming designers like When collecting clothes for the photo shoot we came across a young, innovate designer who goes by the name Danielle Abena Scott-Haughton AKA DanDan AKA Cut&Swallow. This breath of fresh air is very articulate; she knows what she wants and what she needs to do in order to achieve this. On page 48 of The Cut magazine, a multi-coloured, tiered ruffled mini dress modeled by the beautiful Miggy doesn’t look of any less quality or style than the vintage Adidas jacket that it’s teamed with. DanDan has been designing for little over a year and is wise beyond her years. A student at the prestigious London College of Fashion, the college which she describes as ‘just another brand name…it’s like buying a Vivienne Westwood bag, it will last In your life forever but the price you pay is dear.’ So I sit down to conversation and a coffee with Danielle and we talk fashion, Kayne West, Yardies and massive breasts! So D, where do you draw inspiration from? She doesn’t pause and begins to answer, always ready to express herself, ‘Yardies! They are the nicest people you’ll ever meet! I stop and think about the yardies I have encountered and can’t recollect any mother Theresa type characters but allow her to continue. ‘I just love colours so when I see women like The Real Heat just not giving a F*, I say “yeah! And go with that mode of thinking.’ I’m in awe of this young woman and feel inspired by her passion and enthusiasm. She answers each question with a burst of energy. Dressed in bright colours and bold jewelry which is complimented by a monochrome (blonde and black) ‘fro I wonder what’s behind her unique personal style? ‘My personal style is my personal style’, she replies, looking at me blankly as if I had just asked her the most obvious question ever! She continues, ‘God gave me massive breasts and long thick Amazon legs, but not everyone has that, so I gotta make stuff that suits all women, from the big sexy mamas, to the petite princesses.’ Her Amazon legs and massive breasts are laced in bright Lycra, cut of jeans, high top trainers and fantastic accessories. Her nails are FABULOUSLY bright. When she’s out, I’m told, she often hears people whispering about her, crossing the street and looking at her with fear. I can’t imagine feeling fearful with Dan, her voice is soft and she has an incredibly caring manner about her. Perhaps its jealousy? Afterall, jealousy can eat people alive. She laughs my comment off and goes on to compliment Kesh’s collection, ‘I love Kesh's hustle, people hate on her so much, she's the one who got me excited about the possibilities that fashion had to offer a little black girl from London or Crawley in her case.’ The interview comes to a close and she thanks me again and again and over again for the opportunity and informs me that god is setting the bar high, showing her the levels! Well Miss Haughton, a fabulous young woman from Brixton, with innovative designs, infectious charisma and fingernails that would give a yardie a run for their money has just really excited me about the possibilities of what she has to offer to fashion! www.myspace.com/cutandswallow Orange Rock Corps™/ Text / Ronnie Grebenyuk 1st September 2008 On 26th of September there is an event taking place at Royal Albert Hall that you do not want to miss! The hottest gig of the year with the likes of Busta Rhymes, The Guillemots and many many more, yet to be confirmed. But you can’t buy a ticket or win a ticket you have to earn it. This is where Orange Rock Corps comes in; they are about you giving back to your community, working as a team and transforming and rebuilding your local area. All you have to do is give 4 hours of your time to the community with one of the volunteer projects and you get given one ticket to the biggest gig. Last week in the early hours of the morning the Cut went down to East London, Brick Lane to check out Orange Rock Corps and to do a bit of volunteering. Although we got a bit lost on the way, when we finally got there we signed in, were given the T-shirts, and got put into groups for different work areas of the building. Our main task was re-decorating and painting The Peter Rigby House which will be launched in September as a centre for the homeless. It was great to see all the young people come from different parts of the City and working as a team to get the job done with the only 4 given hours . Throughout the day Alex Zane and T4 crew were going around Hoxton Hall filming and interviewing people, getting an insight to what the volunteers were doing. When Alex Zane finally came to check up on us, he got the biggest make over with paint all over his (expensive) leather jacket, there was just no way out for him. So funny. Anyways the four hours went by incredibly fast, as well as it felt good giving back to the community, we all had a fun day as well and went away with our tickets for the gig. We're BACK.

Autechre Live in London ™ Exhibition / Text / Steve NoSurname 4th March 2008 ''Autechre''. / Not a word that inspires excitement (or even any kind of response) in most people, but to some - and believe me, there are quite a few - they represent the kind of exploding electro-funk-noise that has gone on to influence such stars as Radiohead. Tonight, in an old car park tucked behind Liverpool Street station (of all places), any preconceptions about the band anyone could possibly have were smashed to pieces.

As an aspiring filmmaker, meeting David Lynch was the peak of my young career in film. Although Lynch was there to promote his spiritual work in transcendental meditation he didn’t hesitate to answer questions on his films. After the press conferences my colleague Cathy and I waited anxiously for an interview. I sat and anticipated the perfect question. Luckily we even shared an elevator with the man himself. After watching Lynch being swamped by press and fans, Bob Roth, vice-president of the David Lynch Foundation managed to get us a quick interview in which I asked him how transcendental meditation could benefit young aspiring filmmakers like myself. His answer was clear; meditation is the best way to rid fear, stress and anxiety making more room for creativity. Sounded good to me... and who better to take inspiration from than such a pioneering filmmaker? Read the extended article in the next edition of The Cut.
