Fashion Insights

Seldom do we come across thought-provoking articles on fashion, and when we do, like fashions during the season, they come and go. Yet there is a wealth of well-written articles floating in cyberspace, yet none collected in a single area. These fashion reports contain gems of fashion insight of the leading fashion experts around the world. And by fashion expert, I do mean a well-researched and seasoned fashion journalist, not trend or style specialists.

One particularly “old” video interview of Cathy Horyn by Coutorture foresaw the influence of fashion bloggers and that she herself would soon emerge as a top fashion blogger in her own right.

I have a penchant for researching things on the internet, and reading up about details. I found it incredibly difficult to sift through the wealth of information that surrounds the internet about fashion. Fashion blogging hasn’t been around that long, but the rate of posts every day is immeasurable by my own account, and print publications such as newspapers and magazines have backlogs of it dating back to over 150 years. I have yet to read any works by the late Diana Vreeland, an influential fashion editor, since the prints are probably archived in a warehouse but not online.

Needless to say, we should not forget these articles, they can be of great use to many budding fashion journalists who might want to take a different approach. And perhaps a future book publication, but I digress.

I offer you a new section at Dualité called “Resources” and within it will be “Insights” a growing list of fascinating articles I’ve collected over the years. I have no doubt this will grow into a big archive of select articles, but it’s really worth reading. I highly recommend.
