Webzines mentioned in The NY Times

I came across The Business of Fashion blog today with the title that they’ve just been recently featured and quoted in today’s NY Times fashion article “Where The Fashionistas Go For A Quick Fix“. But that’s not the only exciting part, a few other well-established webzines have been mentioned, including:

  • Gloss Magazine - which I used to write for (is it too hopeful of me to say that perhaps Mr. Amed or Ms. La Ferla saw my blog and that I wrote for them?)
  • Fashion156.com - in which Susie Bubble regularly contributes…on a side note I got contacted by them but had to turn them down.
  • Unvogue.com - Well-talked about by Malcolm Sirrah on his blog Cut, Sew & Blog/Change
  • Glam.com - I think anyone who owns a fashion blog or site has been contacted by them
  • Iconique - my first fashion webzine experience, gorgeous as always
  • Net-a-porter - the famed luxury website where you can buy RTW

If you’ve bared with me since the early days of this blog, I’ve rarely plugged myself in other media besides Gloss Magazine, probably because I’m perhaps a little too modest to mention. I’ve been contacted by an array of people including budding new designers (local and national), writing for fashion companies, invited to fashion events and even (heartbreakingly) missed an opportunity to be interviewed by the BBC….THE BBC. Yes, I had to kick my own behind for missing out on that one.

I find this is such an exciting time to write for a fashion webzine or blog as they are gaining more and more media attention from, well, traditional and online media. That somehow, in this huge network of fashion sites, any time one of our “own” is selected to be covered by the big media groups or picked up by major sites, I find it such an honor and happy for others who get to shine and recognized for what they do.

So I just wanted to say a huge congratulations to everyone who really work in keeping the fashion buzz online alive :)

Merci Beaucoup!

Although my little blog has just started 3 months ago, it’s been a highly honourable time for me that some fellow bloggers have given me a shout out for liking my blog or my comments. This comes as a delightful surprise, so forgive me if I sound too humble, I’m sort of shy about these things!

But I really must thank The Business of Fashion and My Look Book for acknowledging my little presence in this big blogosphere!

As I’ve mentioned on my very first post about BoF, it’s a highly informative and smartly written blog on the fashion industry, Mr. Imran is also a Montreal native :)

And My Look Book was stumbled upon by pure accident on Facebook and I really liked how much love and effort has gone into the Cheap vs. Steep looks in such a whimsical manner. It’s geared more towards Canadian shoppers so you’ll be able to book the look whether offline or online. This saves me a lot of time comparing prices!

Thank you both, it really means a lot! :)

Also, I’d like to mention and add another blog to the Blogroll to which I find is such an inspirational blog of a fashion designer making a difference in the fashion industry from the inside. Cut, Sew & Blog will give you a good look at Malcolm Harris’ life as a genuine and positive inspiration in a cutthroat industry. Also look for his close friend Andre J (who has appeared on the cover of French Vogue!!) for his unique and positively amazing personality.

And thank you fellow readers in reading my blog, whether it’s to find information or to leave a comment, I hope it’s helped you thus far! It’s just passed 4000 visits and as a first timer, I say that’s rather fantastique :)
