Australian Fashion Bloggers win trips to New York Fashion Week!

Posted Friday, September 2nd, 2011 in Fashion Blogging

We have some great fashion blogs down here in Australia and paying tribute to that fact is news that not one, but two Australian fashion bloggers have won trips to New York Fashion Week – which starts next week.

We had the pleasure of meeting with Jess from Tuula a few months back and we think she is one smart business woman and lovely girl to boot, so we were super excited to hear that she was chosen by Tumblr as one of the 20 bloggers they were flying out to attend the Spring/Summer 2012 shows in New York City.

Meanwhile, across the country, Bonnie from Bonnie Friday won a trip to New York Fashion Week through a personal style competition run by Elle and Nokia. The Perth local will be joining 7 other bloggers who also won the competition.

Both girls will be reporting their perspective of New York Fashion Week, so jump on their blogs and start following!

Article Watch: Fashion Bloggers, Digital Dictators or Fashion Queens?

Posted Saturday, May 1st, 2010 in Article watch

There was an interestingly biased commentary piece published in Australia’s premier newspaper The Australian last week where Vogue.com.au’s Online Editor Damien Woolnough called fashion bloggers “Nikon-toting bottom feeders on the fashion food chain”.

Needless to say I was less than impressed and was glad when Fairfax journalist Georgina Robinson wrote a piece for Sydney Morning Herald about French fashion blogger Garance Dore and pointed out some of the discrepancies in Woolnough’s attack.

Obviously not all former print media members are open to fashion bloggers, even if they now ply their trade by running a fashion website whose main source of traffic is through their user-generated content on their popular fashion forums.

Posted Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 in Article watch

Here’s an exciting local ‘article watch‘. We love articles about fashion bloggers and fashion blogging in general, so when we heard Marie Claire Australia‘s Mobile Editor, Jade Warne, had written a piece about fashion bloggers for the April 2010 issue we couldn’t wait to get our hands on it. And just as the issue is about to his newsstands tomorrow, we received a copy via email! It features the usual suspects like BryanBoy, Tavi and The Sartorialist, as well as our own Aussie shoe blogger Matt Jordan of Imelda. Pick up your copy of Marie Claire Australia tomorrow – we’ll link to the article as soon it appears on the Marie Claire website!

“Bloggers are here to stay and are all different”
– Teen Vogue

Posted Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 in Fashion Blogging

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Thanks @TeenVogue! The iBFcon they are talking about is Independent Fashion Blogger‘s Evolving Influence fashion blogger conference held over the weekend in New York City (during New York Fashion Week)

Fashion bloggers are here to stay, and we’re all different.

We don’t all take photos of ourselves or other people’s stylish looks, we don’t all report on the latest runway looks or fashion trends. Take the time to learn a little about us and we will do the same for you. We outlined the different types of fashion bloggers in our launch issue of iBlogFashion. If you missed it you can download it here or read some of it here.

Article watch: The Rise of the Style Blogger, and more

Posted Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 in Article watch

Fashion bloggers around the world are focused on one thing at the moment. New York Fashion Week and then London, Milan and Paris. So it comes as no surprise that fashion bloggers are a very hot topic at the moment. We’re guessing that 13-year-old Tavi Gevinson of StyleRookie fame is one of the most photographed (and recognized) bloggers on the circuit at the moment.

Here’s some interesting articles to take note of:

Young, fat and fabulous
