Fashion Bloggers finally get the ‘FRONT ROW’ respect

Bryan Boy amoungst fashion heavy hitters.
Scott Schuman one of the most renowned fashion blogger in the industry gave comments on how he was mortified when he was moved to the front row of a Dolce & Gabbana show. He spoke of how he was moved to the front row and how D&G moved moving print editors and senior buyers to the second row.

Dolce & Gabbana in a recent interview said ‘we know about the blogger, the power of the blogger because it talks with different sort of people’ also that it is important to maintain a relationship with the new generation.

Our note: Although this may have been a PR stunt on the duo’s part it seems that this may be a watershed moment for the industry, blogging sites like The Sartorialist, Bryanboy, Garancedore and many more have outshone the normal printing industries (they have a huge amount of following) and this form of recognition is greatly needed because a successful blog site can help form hundreds of thousands of readers opinions.

Bloggers have the ability to wield a lot of power, their followers tend to read their reviews of products and whether they give them the thumbs up or the thumbs down that can decide readers to buy or not buy. Bloggers like Bryan Boy have become a celebrity figure in their own rights, many actually choose to buy clothes that they have seen these bloggers wear.

As you can tell we are PRO bloggers.

However, it must be noted that although bloggers represent the times that we are in, it is not like they have been in the industry for the last 20 years it would be quite silly to discourage or even humiliate those who have built the fashion industry during the modern era by sitting them behind someone. We think that post-modern era of fashion will have its battle as there will be a fine line between where editors and bloggers seat.
