Naeem Khan Spring 2008

New York’s Fashion week wraps up this Wednesday and if you weren’t personally invited, blogs might be your best bet for coverage of what’s happening and who’s showing up [1] under the tents in Bryant Park. According to [2] Women’s Wear Daily new media still only accounts for 10% of the overall issued media credentials at New York’s Fashion Week. But there’s no doubting that it’s a whole lot easier for the average fashion-watching web surfer to click into the blogosphere than it is to get into a designer’s show.

WWD’s list of blogging bigwigs ([3] Sartorialist, [4] GoFugYourself) and relative newcomers ([5] Fashionista–“style like you mean it,” [6] Fashionologie–“the musings of a twentysomething American girl who wishes she could have a Freaky Friday incident and switch bodies with Phoebe Philo”) includes writers with fashion industry experience and those offering a perspective for women of color, size or limited budget ([7] The Fashion Bomb–“all urban fashion…all the time,” [8] Too Fat for Fashion—“fashion beyond sample sizes,” [9] The Budget Fashionista–“an Ivy League-educated epidemiologist who had a love of fashion and lack of cash”). See the full [10] article for more blogs that got on the list this year.
