DIY FASHION: Shorts Denim shorts are really in fashion at the moment, especially with a high waist. Shorts are not just for summer they look amazing in the winter with thick tights and cuddly jumpers, but they can be so overpriced. Here is a step by step guide into making a pair of old out of fashion jeans or a cheap pair of jeans from a charity shop into a brand new pair of fashionable shorts. The best part of it is its super easy and anyone can do it. 1) Take your pair of jeans, put them on and mark with a pen an inch longer than you want them to come and then cut along the marks you have made, slanting them slightly upwards, but not too much, only a little. Make sure you don't cut them too short, if there too long you can cut more off!!! 2) Try them on again and if they are now the correct length fold them in half and cut the other side this will insure that they are the exact same length. Try them on again to make sure that they fit well and are still the preferred length. At this point they will still look unfinished but don’t worry. <strong>Issue</strong> 1 October 2012 contact us at askedit@kedst.ac.uk Page 10 3) Throw the shorts into the wash and see how much they fray. Now you have three different options... If you think they have frayed enough, just leave them and they are ready to wear. If you don’t think they have frayed enough, use a large nail file, open scissors or sand paper to rub against the edge to give them even more of a rough, relaxed look. But remember they will continue to fray a little more for the next few times you wash them so don’t overdo it. If you think the frayed look doesn’t fit your style, simply fold up the edges and sew them upwards as tight as you can using cotton that matches your shade of denim (if you don’t know how to sew try watching a YouTube tutorial to help you). And there you have it, a brand new, one of a kind pair of shorts! Paige Bayley and Katie Christopher
Arts Review- The Electric Cinema- Birmingham Subtly concealed between a chain of downtown Cantonese restaurants and shabby karaoke bars, along Station Street within the cityscape of Birmingham lies the entrance to a cinematic wander way back. Way back to when the magic of cinema was encapsulated within art deco walls and accompanied with a glass of gracious, green Absinthe. The Electric Cinema is the UK’s oldest cinema, holding its first cinematic performance in 1909 and is a highly authentic and popular spot for the artistic community of Birmingham. The venue has maintained its art deco interior and charm within its stylistic theatre whilst interpreting two high-tech <strong>Issue</strong> 1 October 2012 contact us at askedit@kedst.ac.uk Page 11 digital screens, where you can catch brand new mainstream films such as; Skyfall, Looper, On the road as well as a selection of classic, independent and foreign film screenings. In the upcoming months the cinema has a range of exciting special events, such as a unique Halloween extended screening of Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining’ with 20 minutes of unseen footage. Along with several stand up comedy nights and a showing on Oct 12 th of the classic 60s zombie film ‘2.8 Hours’, promoting the 2.8 hours real-life interactive Zombie chase game which will be hitting the streets of Birmingham on Oct 17 th ! I recently went to see Joe Wright’s ‘Anna Karenina’, starring Keira Knightly and Jude Law at The Electric, which was a fantastic stylistic film by itself, however complimented with the cinema’s home-made cake, watching our glasses of traditional Parisian green Absinthe pour from an antique silver fountain and the gloriously comfortable sofa seating within the theatre, it became an experience I’d highly recommend to any film enthusiast or film studies student. http://www.theelectric.co.uk/page.php?page=30 Ellie Jones
