And we are on Links à la Mode again! Read our interview with fashion stylist Megan Shaw below alongside this week’s best stories on Independent Fashion Bloggers.
I love history. I live in an old house. I buy old furniture. I sometimes dress in vintage. I just love old things. However, I’m a Norbyah blog takes it a step further and researches the history of two fur coats. Additionally there were quite a few posts about dressing from various eras and just how much to incorporate from those days.
IFB Bloggers were still deep in the trenches of NYFW and rightfully so. Several shared their favorites. Two posts described fashion lines in such a way that the images were almost unnecessary. And through it all, a lot of trends were covered. Throwing me into a designing daydream of what it would look like to incorporate them all into one look. Impossible? No. Horrendous? Yes.
I always enjoy reading the business of blogging posts, whether they fit into the current week’s links or not. I find them to be inspiring and great reminders. This week, Color Me Sassy, expresses her ups and downs and shares the benefits, monetary and nonmonetary, to maintaining a blog. There is also an informative piece on the proper definitions of ethical versus sustainable. Bloggers, read up, your homework has been done for you.
Fashion was also found in theater, television, and cinema this week. Alexander McQueen was the subject of a London stage production. Creative license was taken to add a fashion spin to Kanye West’s recent VMA speech. Entertaining, to say the least. And a movie review ends in a 1960’s shift dress. Which reminded me that I once dated a guy who, after watching The Great Gatsby, decided to exclusively wear linen. It lasted a year. What he learned? “There was a lot of ironing.”
