Quiksilver Pro

Friday, September 19th, 2008

The wait is over for the Quiksilver Pro France! The 8th of 11 events on the 2008 ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) World Tour, gets underway today.
Could we see Quiksilver rider, Kelly Slater, claim his 6th victory of the season? It has been brilliant year for him so far, already wining 5 of the 7 events that have taken place. Could this year see his (already pretty amazing) 8 World titles, become nine?? I mean nine world titles…that’s almost unprecedented in the individual sports world…Lance Armstrong stopped after his 7th Tour de France!

So what are you waiting for, pop in to the store and pick up your Quiksilver Pro limited edition clothes. Get yourself some of the new season Quiksilver or Roxy Luggage and we’ll see you in France!

QUIKSILVER’S NEW LINE FOR WOMEN IS NOW IN STORE AND ON-LINE

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

It’s all about mixing. That’s what the Quiksilver woman is about. She is a young urban woman with a rebel, rock n’roll side. She bares the soul of a charming, close-to-the-nature artist. She’s independent and bohemian too… The Quiksilver woman is pretty tough…

A SUBTLY SOFISTICATED LINE FOR A YOUNG CONTEMPORARY WOMAN

Sophisticated, timeless, feminine. Designed for a “pretty tough” young woman. Pretty AND tough, that is. Besides the whole spirit behind it, Quiksilver’s new female line is defined by attention to detail and qualitative fabrics.

Back centre seams, asymmetrical features and details around the buttons are part of the line’s DNA. Silk, linen, angora and organic cotton, the fabrics used in this line are natural, while the colour palette stays pretty sober. Logos are minimally present and take the shape of metal charms. Vests, baby doll dresses, original T-shirts, jeans, shirts… The new women’s line was born for layering and to allow each woman create her own style. Did we mention freedom too?

BRAND AMBASSADORS

There are three, all based in London. They embody a new generation of folk singers. In Europe, Quiksilver has chosen them to represent the spirit behind its new women’s collection. Musicians, writers and performers, Charlotte O’Connor, Ellie Lawson and Anna Leddra Chapman are talented young women that Quiksilver will be supporting. How? By promoting them internationally, using all of the company’s strengths: Internet, PR networks, photographers, filmers, stylists etc.

While most kids are concerning themselves with games consoles at the age of 12, Anna Leddra-Chapman took a different route: she picked up one of her dad’s acoustic guitars for the first time, sat down and began to write her first song. With a spine tingling voice and heart stopping lyrics that belie her youth, Anna Leddra-Chapman bares her soul with stripped down songs that bring to mind artists such as Joni Mitchell and Tracy Chapman. Anna is currently working with world renowned writers and producers on her debut album due for release in Spring 09.

Ellie Lawson

Acoustic/Pop/Folk

Ellie Lawson is an artist whose compelling voice and rich sonic landscape reflects a life journey of personal determination and self-discovery. The young vocalist/lyricist/musician/composer released her first album « The Philosophy Tree » with Atlantic in the US. Now back in the UK, she’s working on her second one with the renowned British producer/writers Jony « Rockstar » (Sugababes, Alicia Keys) and Tim Wills (Ian Brown).

Charlotte O’Connor

Acoustic/Folk/Soul

With an outstanding stage presence, Charlotte O’Connor has already laid the foundations of what will no doubt be a long and successful career in the music industry. Charlotte, vocalist and composer, is currently in the studio working on her debut album, writing with the likes of Sasha Skarbek ( who co-wrote the smash hit “You are Beautiful” for James Blunt) and Dan Gatreau (who has writing credits with artists such as Alicia Keys, George Michael, Kylie Minogue and Shaznay Lewis).
