Research into Music Awards
° Brit Awards ° Kerrang Awards ° The Grammy Awards ° MTV music awards ° AIM Independent Music Awards ° World Music Awards ° Sony Music Awards ° Teens Choice Award Research into 'The Weeknd'Secretive RnB star The Weeknd also appeared on the BBC2 programme last night - playing tracks from his debut album 'Trilogy', which is a compendium of his three LPs 'House Of Balloons', 'Thursday' and 'Echoes Of Silence', which were released online early in 2011.
The singer - real name Abel Tesfaye, has played very few gigs and has never done a full interview, but did speak to NME this week after his show at London's Supper Club, where he said he only existed in people’s bedrooms and iPods. "I make good music for long journeys," he joked. About doing live shows he added, "There was so much pressure coming in. But I've played it well because being off the circuit has allowed me to practice with this band back home in Toronto for months." Watch The Weeknd perform his track 'Wicked games' below. http://www.nme.com/news/palma-violets-0/67435 Research into 'Artists Fashion Collections' and 'Clothing Lines' - Stocklist InformationMadonnas Clothing Line – Material Girl

P Diddy's newer line includes the pricier Sean John collection replete with fur, leather and cashmere. Gwen Stefani has also entered the world of fashion design with her L.A.M.B clothing and accessories line. According to an interview for USA Today in November 2004, Stefani professes to be a "slave to her own sense of fashion." Recently, Stefani debuted her newest L.A.M.B. collection at New York Fashion Week to great reviews. Her unique sense of style has led the press to consider Stefani something of a fashion and design icon - last years $40 million in sales confirm this. Rap icon Missy Elliott partnered with athletic company Adidas in early 2004 to introduce a funky, urban clothing line for girls and women named Respect ME. Adidas had a similar deal with Run DMC in 1986 when it released a line based upon the clothing worn on stage by the artists. The Respect ME line is inspired by urban street wear and features three distinct styles. Teen actress/singer Hilary Duff recently launched the Stuff by Hilary Duff line of clothing and cosmetics for Target and Zellers. The line includes the eighties inspired Rock n' Roll and the seventies inspired On the Road line. Duff is one of the few stars who actively sketch her designs.
