Fashion Industry discussion, review, analysis, news, and information

Is the fashion industry meant to keep the masses at bay and how does it relate to blogging?  Here are some interesting thoughts about fashion and blogging over at the Papierblog.

It's difficult really to compare the blog industry to the fashion industry.  They are two separate worlds, yet they do come together for the sake of expression, sharing, and community.  We all have a say in fashion.  We all dress differently and we all have different opinions about fashion.

There's an interesting question that Eva asks:  Was Anna Wintour right in keeping the masses at bay and abhorring the very nature of the word blog?

Ok, let's get this straight.  I do admire Anna Wintour, but she is not the end all and be all of the fashion world.  For her to say that she doesn't like the word blog shouldn't change the perception of what a blog is and how powerful it can be in spreading fashion opinion.
