Editors of major magazines are sometimes jaded with advertisers hounded them to feature their latest and greatest. I say let us bloggers go at it!

It's up to bloggers to reveal up and coming cutting edge fashion! Fashion magazines are the past–they also tend to feature the same products/dresses/designs.

You hit the nail on the head with your last paragraph - we simply want to help set a positive example and legitimize new media in the fashion world. We are supporting serious and qualified online coverage of the fashion world through celebrating and promoting fashion bloggers as recognized and respected as members of the media. Our mission is simple - to get designers and tastemakers – of all reputations – to respect that independent writers/bloggers/journalists are indeed influential and will continue to have a heavy hand in shaping the trends, purchases and ultimately, success, of fashion brands. SC is driving various new media and fashion projects, including InsideTheTents.com - aggregating content from a qualified group of fashion bloggers and new media journalists – as well as our DIGITAL MODA Event on February 17. This private event brings together designers and new media journalists in a way never before organized at New York Fashion Week, and it is indicative of the power of social media for the fashion world. SC seeks to bring the voices of fashion bloggers together and let them be heard. We look forward to the continued growth of our organization, our projects and our contributors’ influence. Thanks so much, Christine Perkett Board Advisor, SC *Happy to continue the conversation at: http://www.twitter.com/missusP Imran,

I am very, very new to the world of fashion blogging but I enjoy it as a creative outlet more than anything else at this point. A hobby, if you will. I have a true passion for fashion and love to inspire people who may not know who Marc Jacobs is but would like to dress better and just have more fun with the fashion world. I really enjoy our blog and learning about the business new of the fashion industry. I hope you don't mind that I added a link in my blog to your blog! I will come back again! Hmm, interesting.
