Fashion and the internet go hand in hand all year round but during the Mercedes Benz Fashion week in New York City the internet explodes with new style. Only hours after the clothes are on the runway they are online for the entire world to access. Whether it be New York Times online, Elle online or any blogger that attends the shows, the pictures, videos and reviews are available.
When thinking back to before the Internet, the flow of information was much slower and significantly smaller. It would take days or weeks for the information to travel to ‘regular people’ living even in the close vicinity of where the fashion shows take place. Now; people in New York, Russia, Japan and Italy have access to the information at the same time.
As the first fashion social media site thre.ad is making the street style of fashion week available to the public. They are answering the second most important question during fashion week; what are New Yorkers and fashion show attendees wearing in this time filled with unique outfits?
Some of these attendees are invited due to their presence online. Bloggers; the new fashion experts and the new front row crew at all the biggest fashion shows. 10 years ago if you told anyone in the industry that soon the front row would be filled with fashion enthusiasts who write something called a blogged on a regular basis for free, they would have laughed in your face. Now the question is not ‘if’ but ‘which one” will be in the front row. As stated in The Observer, they are friends with personalities such as Marc Jacobs and Anna Wintour.
When looking through the shows this year, I picked out three of my favorite looks. My number one look is above, by Jason Wu. The fur sleeves on the Bordeaux and black colored suit make this one of kind. This is definitely something new, different and fun.
My second favorite look is the Alexander McQueen dress above. It reminds me of the movie Black Swan, with the girly ballerina cut and nude color but also with the edgy facemask to show that twisted side. The ruffles and the upper torso have the swan wings look as well.
The third look that goes in my top three is something most women could actually wear. This Betsey Johnson coat is really cute, fun and fashionable but also unique.
As usual, here’s the song for today, Stare into the Sun by Graffiti 6. This isn’t the newest song, but I have a feeling the soon Graffiti 6 will be all over the radio.
