BLOGGERS... A NEW ERA OF DESIGNERS

First things first, I must apologse for being gone for so long... working at one of the stadiums of the World Cup can be quite tiring but I'm back now and i promise notto leave you for so long... Back to more important stuff... FASHION!

Now that fashion bloggers have more influence in the world of fashion than ever before ie your Scott Schumans, Jane Aldridge and Bryan Boys, its no surprise that brands will call upon them to design some collections. This is becoming increasingly frequent as fashionistas all over the world are more interested in and inspired by what the average fashionista's interpretation of fashion is... em ... its cheaper and you can always use what you have in your cupboard rather than looking at what celebrities are wearing for inspiration. Thus, I thought I'd give you (my loyal readers;)) a taste of the type of clothes my fellow bloggers are designing; although I just think it's a way for brands to be a part of how blogging is changing fashion as a whole. Garance Dore collaborated with Gap and designed a series of t-shirts for Gap's 40th anniversary with her drawings on them. Jane Aldridge from Sea of Shoes designed some shoes for Urban Outfitters and Rumi of Fashion Toast designed a beautiful collection for RVCA for F/W 09. Marc Jacob sweetheart, Bryan Boy, (Marc deisgned a bag named after him) recently tweeted (how I hate that word) about collaborating with H&M very soon, I'm quite curious to see what he'll bring to the table...
