London! 12th June 2014! KALTBLUT Magazine takes a moment to showcase five of the most dynamic and exiting graduates from Ravensbourne University in the run up to the UK Graduate fashion week. We get to know each designer - Jessica Goddard, Ebru Mustafa, Lauren Field, Sam Roknivand and Beilin Zhang – a little more, finding out about their influences, idols and goals for the future. Photography by Karl Slater. Styling by Kennedy Silver. Makeup by Jo Coletta using Origins. Hair by Fletcher; Senior Art Director UNITE Using UNITE. Model is Aimee Hurst @D1.


Name: Jess Goddard
Age: 23
Birthplace: Worthing
Collection name: Big Rock Candy Mountains
Collection season: Autumn/Winter
Whats the influences behind your collection: The collection is inspired by girls that are more interested in being outside and creating their own adventures than caring about what they should be doing or wearing. It focuses on that age where everything you do feels like an adventure. The concept of the collection is all about the idea of throwing garments together without any real consideration. Their lack of care is what makes them look interesting.
Whats your plan for the future: I have been awarded funding for my social enterprise, so I hope to pursue this further, as well as take some time to visit garment manufacturers in Bangladesh and Kenya. Over the summer though I hope to take a break from drawing mountains to climb some instead! 
Who would you most like to see wearing your clothing: Girls with attitude
Who's your favourite fashion label: Proenza Schouler
Describe your self in two words: Warrior Princess.
Instagram: jessicagoddard22


Name: Ebru Mustafa
Age: 22
Birthplace: London
Collection name: Prescribe
Collection season: Autumn Winter 2015
What’s the influences behind your collection: Going against the developed philosphy which places man within a cyclic model of society. Influenced by modern day medication, August Sanders photography, and the women of the Bauhaus movement the collection creates a prescribed form for woman, clinically effeminate and stark.
A heavy silhouette created through the use of bold prints, intricate embroidery, and the juxtaposition between subdued and outburst of colours.

‘I sometimes feel that a pattern is almost a fashion statement in itself.’
- Jil sander
What’s your plan for the future: Travelling, gaining experience within the industry, helping me build a foundation for my own label.
Who would you most like to see wearing your clothing: A stark women with an attitude towards masculine men, someone who smokes, careless in appearance and doesn’t stick to gender roles.
Who's your favourite fashion label: Jil Sander/ Raf simons 
Describe your self in two words: head-strong and brave
Instagram: ebrumst


Name: Lauren Field
Age: 21
Birthplace: Warwickshire
Collection name: What’s A Girl To Do?
Collection season: Spring/Summer
What’s the influences behind your collection: Exploring what makes a woman powerful and what makes her weak. Relationships and break ups can make a woman incredibly vulnerable – I wanted to capture this feeling. Not wanting to change out of your pajamas, however having to push forward and carry on. I also have a strong 70’s essence to my design work, which came from looking at Halston and old 70’s clothes catalogues. 
Whats your plan for the future: I want to learn as much about the Fashion Industry as I can – design, buying, sales 
Then start my own business – either in design or working with designers. 
Who would you most like to see wearing your clothing: I’d like to see woman who are confident and have a presence wearing my clothes.
Who's your favourite fashion label: Tom Ford
Describe your self in two words: Assertive and Hilarious

JUICY BITCH LIQUID NOURISHMENT DETOX!

The month of May was the time I decided to sort myself out about how I was generally looking and feeling and to think about getting summer ready!

The start of the year has been a fantastic one with work but along with this my eating habits were becoming a nightmare and I started to feel urrggh in myself and constantly tired!!

I wanted something to kick start me into a few better habits and to feel great again and was recommended by the London Lifestylist Naomi Isted to try a juicing detox plan by the company Juicy Bitch.






After viewing Juicy Bitch social media pages online and the amazing comments people had left with the benefits of the juicing plans I contacted Faye Walsh the owner to send me over some more details.



Juicy Bitch Background; 
Faye was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago and is now in remission. Faye has been researching healthier ways to eat and live her life and came across juicing. Juicing has now become a big part of her life and the health benefits that it brings, she feels amazing!



She now helps others by specialising in a 3 and 7 day detox which both have many benefits including weight loss, pure detox and can help improve skin, hair and nails.

The Plans & Costs
PLAN A: 5 bottle of Juices a day 

PLAN B: 4 bottle of Juices a day and a home made soup 

3 day detox Plan A - £45
3 day detox plan B - £50

5 day detox Plan A - £75
5 day detox Plan B - £80

7 day detox Plan A - £95
7 day detox plan B - £110

If you choose to detox for 3 days this is on average what your fruit and veg intake will consist of:

24 Apples
10 Oranges
3 Pineapples
2 Carrots
3 Avocados
2 Lemons
4 Limes
2 Cucumbers
1/2 Courgette
4 sticks of celery
inch slice of raw beetroot
3 big chunks of raw ginger
3 handfuls of mixed berries
3 handful of spinach
2 handfuls of watercress
3 handfuls of kale
4 tables-spoons of low fat natural yogurt
3 teaspoons of wheatgrass
4 teaspoons of spirulina
6 teaspoons of acidophilus bacteria powder
1 teaspoons of udo's choice oil
1 tablespoon of mixed seeds
chopped mint.

They also offer different plans and added Wheatgrass and Ginger shots and the juices can be tailor made for you so if you have allergies they can easily adapt your detox plan to accommodate this.





I decided to go for it and try a 3 day detox plan which included 5 bottles of juice a day. My husband joined me on the plan but was a little bit more hardcore than me and went for the 5 day plan!

Faye delivered 3 days of detox each to my home on the Sunday ready to start the detox on Monday the next day.




My husband and I had 3 bags each which were labelled Day 1, Day 2 & Day 3 with 5 bottles of juice in each bag. 

Faye informed me that for my husbands final two days she would deliver fresh bottles on the Wednesday to cover his last two days and this also gives him the option if he was struggling a bit by then he could change the final two days to Plan B with the homemade soup.


As part of the plan they suggest that you do not eat any solid food but to drink plenty of water daily.

They also recommend to juice every 3 hours at 8am, 11am, 2pm, 5pm, & 8pm.The juices can be drank in any order but the soup option they suggest you have either 5pm or 7pm.

It is also recommended to exercise at least one hour a day.

My Juicing Journey and results!
As recommended I started on the Monday with my first bottle of juice at 8am.  To be totally honest I wasn't looking forward to it as my diet never usually consists of much fruit and vegetables let alone mixed together!

But I must say the taste was amazing and really enjoyable. Nothing at all like I expected it to be. At that time in the morning I found the one bottle to be enough and felt full. 

I was out at work most of the Monday and Tuesday and took the bottles of juices with me. I sailed pretty much through both days and didn't really think much about solid food.

It was only really at home I maybe struggled a little bit when watching TV in the evening - a known time for me and my husband to snack or phone for a takeaway!

I'd say the first two days were the biggest struggle for me as I'm a lover of caffeine and withdrawing from this I experienced headaches, but nothing unbearable. By the Wednesday though the headaches were gone, I had settled into the plan and started to feel energised! I also weighed myself and lost 4lbs which had also been hanging around for a little while and was over the moon that it had gone :-)

Would we do it again?
Yes, Yes & Yes!!

I must say we really enjoyed the plans and Juicy Bitch have really got the flavours of the juices and soups spot on!!

I could have easily went on for a further two days like my husband who dropped 7lbs in 5 days.

It definitely gave us both the kick start we needed and it's been nearly two weeks and we still haven't reverted back to our old habits! It's also got us thinking twice to what we should/shouldn't eat.

We'll definitely be contacting Juicy Bitch again in the future for a little pick me up :-)

For more information about the plan please see below Juicy Bitch's details. All prices include free local delivery to a radius of 15 miles, then after that a small delivery charge is applied. All plans are also available for collection
