View Article  This season's key questions

Love fashion? Got 2 minutes going spare? Then we have some questions for you...


View Article  Back very soon...
Hello again,

After a summer off, we've decided it's about time we got back to work.

A lot of people have been very busy on our behalf and if you were a registered designer before the break, here are the changes you'll notice when you log back in:



* New image standards. To keep the site layout consistent, product images must now be 1,000 pixels square and shot like the 4 above, so that our fancy new zoom feature will work. All live products are now back in draft accounts and if you'd like to feature on the new site, you should re-submit your adverts using images like these as soon as possible.

* Paypal and returns. Customers told us that they will be far more likely to buy if a designer accepts Paypal payments and returns of unsuitable goods, so both are now compulsory. You'll be able to add your Paypal address into your Account page before we go live to the public.

* €70,000 Adoption is now £50,000 Backing. We've changed currency and terminology in response to feedback. If you bought elements earlier in the year, the proportion of the new collection which you own hasn't changed, although they are now £10 'shares'.

* Shiny new pages. Lookey! New logos, buttons and colours. We hope you like them, but we'd love to hear your feedback either way.

Got more questions? Drop us a line at talktous[at]catwalkgenius[dot]com, or leave a comment.

The shop will open to the public in just a short while, so watch this space for more info and special offers.

Last weekend, Mal and I went over to visit Andrew, the fella who makes the web magic happen. He lives with his lady wife and half the contents of Noah's Ark in a lovely house in a beautiful village near the (presumably also very nice) Forest of Dean.
It's the kind of place where ladies drink organic milk and make good friends with cows, according to the brochure:    more »

If you're a designer who normally sells wholesale, it occurs to us that you might not have any packaging for shipping individual items or small orders to your fans.
If that's the boat that you're in, then take a look at these bad boys - now available in the buy packaging section of your account!   more »

In many respects, Catwalkgenius.com is like our baby.
As such it is our parental right to choose not to let it grow up in any old, haphazard way. No way. Instead, like the best meddling parents, we plan to tweak it, prod it, give it singing lessons and generally muck about with it until it meets with the approval of as many members of the general public as possible.    more »
