Karen, a controversial question: it’s sometimes said that consumers of fashion are just obsessed with their appearance. What’s your take on that? K: Well, there are many things involved in fashion and that’s why people love it – self-esteem and image, certainly, but also fun. I got into it after reading my sister’s fashion magazines and yes, I was knocked out by those beautiful pictures. But I grew up in the country; my family drummed environmental responsibility into me but I realised that wasn’t the case for many people. After I went into fashion design, I wanted to promote those values, show it was possible to blend a beautiful appearance with an underlying responsible approach. I: Jason, is it easy combining an ethical approach with fashion design? J: There’s a lot to consider. I aim to design clothes from materials that won’t run down any non- renewable resources but it’s important to also make sure the process of producing them doesn’t cause pollution in itself. Then there’s what happens when clothes are finished with – whether throwing them away harms the environment. It’s not how everyone in the industry thinks and I’m not sure I got it myself at first. I want to make people look good but didn’t realise how much of an uphill struggle it would be to achieve this while making them environmentally aware at the same time. I: What would you both say about your design style? Jason? J: I’m pretty hard-boiled as a person and I’ve had my fair share of setbacks. I’ve tried to turn those to my advantage – I expect a lot of myself and what I can achieve, and push myself creatively. My designs embody where I’m at in terms of the look I want and the materials I use, and they stand out. I’m always true to what I believe in. K: I get inspiration from travelling, though I put my own take on what I find. I mix different traditions to make something unique and I think outside the box – like the garment that can be worn in different ways depending on how it’s put on. That saves people money ’cos they buy fewer clothes! But I do have an identifiable look underlying all my designs so people know what they’re getting with me. I: Karen, what’s the priority in your designs? K: I design for someone who stands out from the crowd and isn’t frightened of expressing themselves or standing up for their principles. My clothes give confidence. For some designers, the bottom line’s
Page 3 of 6 pages financial and so they kowtow to the mass market – their designs don’t push the envelope, they avoid risks. I show it’s not impossible to be the height of fashion while sticking to my core values. And it’s not just eyewash – I hate waste, so I use recycled materials – it’s plain common sense, not just ecologically responsible. I: Jason, as a creative designer, how do you feel about the practical side of production? J: When I start designing, I get my head into colours, fabrics, the look I want. That’s creative and takes ages. The final designs are often nothing like my first ideas ’cos I chop and change and get input from other people. I stick to my requirements of low-impact clothes in spite of any market pressures, but it’s an evolving process. I’m pretty driven, which means I’m heavily involved in it all and I get a real kick from seeing my abstract concepts take shape. I: Finally, how do you both see the future? K: I guess it’s obvious – people are seeing our throwaway society and realising that there is a way of getting what you want without destroying anything. That probably sounds totally idealistic but I’m hopeful. It’s not plain sailing, and I know it’ll be challenging– but this is not just happening in fashion, it’s happening in other areas, too. J: People sometimes describe so-called green fashion as unattractive but that perception needs addressing. I’d love to sell huge numbers of clothes but not at the expense of what I believe in, and that’ll be tough. Clearly, anything handmade shows values like quality, tradition and attention to detail, though, of course, people need to accept that it means it’s costly, which they don’t want. I: Karen and Jason, thanks for your time! Part 2. For questions 6-10, listen to a talk and decide if these statements are True (T) or False (F). (5pts) 6. Jackie was surprised that David had problems placing his order. F 7. David needs to order the software for his work. T 8. Jackie gives him the 25% discount even though he's not ordering online. T 9. Jackie tells David that the free microphones are usually not very good quality. T 10. David buys both versions of the software. F TRANSCRIPT Jackie: Good morning, Power Net Software, this is Jackie. Can I help you? David: Hi, I've been trying to order some of your software from the website but there seems to be a problem because my order didn't go through. Jackie: Oh, I'm sorry about that Sir. The technical department sent everyone a memo this morning saying there was a problem with one of the servers. That's probably why you had some difficulty. David: Would it be possible for me to place my order through you now? I really need this software as soon as possible. It's for my work you see. I don't want to have to wait until tomorrow as I might be out seeing customers. Jackie: OK, sure. Now then, what is it you would like to order from us?
Page 4 of 6 pages David: Your site had a great offer on something called Viva Voce. The price was something like 25% off the normal recommended retail price. Could you tell me something more about this product please? Jackie: Well, I'm afraid that price is only available for those of our customers who order through our site. David: That's hardly fair, is it? I just tried to order through your site and, as I told you, the sale wouldn't go through. Can't you give me that discount anyway? Jackie: Yeah, I think that would be alright. It's not as if it's your fault. Now, what did you want to know about Viva Voce? It's one of our best selling products. David: Do you have that program also in the Professional edition? I only saw the Standard edition but we need the extra recording software which comes with the Professional edition. Jackie: Fine, let's have a look ... Yes, we have the Professional edition and that is also discounted 25%. David: Now, in our office, there are both Windows and Mac computers. How much is the Mac version of this software? I don't want to have to pay too much more. Jackie: Hmmm, we don't seem to have the Mac version in stock at the moment. It's arriving this evening or tomorrow morning. David: One more question for you and then I'll be done. Is there a microphone included with the software? I tried to find out from your website but it didn't seem to be very clear whether there was a mic included or not. Jackie: Yes, all our speech recognition software comes with a free microphone although, between you and me, the quality isn't the best. I would recommend you buy a higher quality one, especially if you are planning to use this for your work. David: Thanks a lot for that 794791. Those free mics are usually pretty poor, aren't they? OK, we're done. I have ordered through you before and my customer number is 794791. You should have all my contact information and credit card number on file. Jackie: Information... let's see, oh yes. Here you are, Mr. David Thompson, is that correct? David: Yes, that's me. How long will the delivery take? Jackie: You should have this by Wednesday. Can I just confirm then - you want one Windows edition and one Mac edition when it comes through to us this evening or tomorrow? David: No, just send me the one Windows Professional. We'll just have to do all the speech recognition work on the Windows computers, it's not such a big deal. Jackie: Great. Thanks for calling Power Net Software. Have a nice morning. David: Thanks very much, goodbye. Part 3. For questions 11-20, you will hear a short talk about 3D printing. Listen and complete each sentence with NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS. (10pts) 3D PRINTING
