Kiss Me, Stace Mentioned in NY Times
Kiss Me, Stace was featured in the New York Times, along with many other great fashion blogs.
With names like Fashionologie, Kiss Me, Stace, Shoewawa and Now Smell This, the more popular fashion blogs are compelling enough that “to ignore them is to run the risk of seeming out of touch,” said Brandon Holley, the new editor in chief of Jane, the young women’s style magazine. Readers identify with bloggers’ idiosyncratic, rebellious voices, said Ms. Holley, who has added two online diarists to her stable of contributors. The blogs, which are updated weekly, daily and sometimes hourly, are a platform uniquely well suited to fashion news, she added.
“Fashion moves so fast, ” Ms. Holley said, “that readers find the blogs keep up better than even the tabloids like Us Weekly.”
Writing with a candor not often glimpsed in the pages of that celebrity weekly, or in W, InStyle or Harpers Bazaar, bloggers form an opinionated, informed and spirited community. They may be a long way from displacing Vogue as a fashion authority, but they are steadily gaining clout with consumers and marketers.
“In coming months we can expect that fashion blogs are probably going to have the same kind of influence that we see in widely read blogs about gadgets and high tech toys like BoingBoing,” said Bob Wyman, the chief technology officer and a founder of PubSub, a search engine that offers a weekly rating of a blog’s popularity …
Ruth La Ferla did not choose me for the interview, in the end. And I my writing, style, etc. etc. was not featured in the points, but this is good. (I was among the names complimented, and I’ve worried about the obscurity of the references to a musical and a t.v. stylist.) I had so much to say and show about my fashion blogging, I do hope there are more interview opportunities! I’m closer to my 43Things goal.
Like Manolo pointed out, and to my shock, Manolo’s Shoe Blog was not featured in the article! Neither was my favorite blog, Purseuing.
All that’s left is the results. Good luck to the fashion blog world. And I welcome my new visitors, who are so crafty to find me through Google or the like! Please visit all of the blogs mentioned, including the two above, which are apart of the Best of the Best!
