The First week of December
2 weeks ago
A resource for anyone who wants to work in fashion. Don't know Oscar de la Renta from Emilio de la Morena? Don't know Mariacarla from Viktoriya? Don't fret: with weekly profile updates of models, designers, stylists, and so on, you'll know who's who in no time. Add to that reviews (cultural enrichment and savvy is surely what makes good journalism), titbits from my struggle to make it into magazines and general fashion features and you've got yourself a blog..
