Why The Era Of Personal Style Blogs Must Come To An End

Why The Era Of Personal Style Blogs Must Come To An End | Fashion Technology Designers & Startups | Scoop.it
People who want lasting careers in fashion media won't find it by simply inviting the world to ogle their clothes.

 

"The bloggers...don't offer anything but photos of themselves are in trouble. Sites centered on personalities don’t have legs to stand on if that personality becomes detached. These “cult of personality”-type destinations will have a much harder time selling to larger companies if their founders already have one foot out the door to pursue television careers. How do you sell Atlantic-Pacific or Sea of Shoeswithout their stars? It’s like selling Seinfeld without Seinfeld — you can’t have certain products without the people who are those products.

Bonnie Sandy's insight:

This is true in every  business. One session in my creative entrepreneurial  workshops is legacy planning, not just the legal aspect but the brand 's legacy."Whayt happens to your business if you're not here tomorrow?". i've tried avoiding that  pitfall but it is not as easy as it seems.

In the 1970s, the New Yorker’s fashion critic, Kennedy Fraser, wrote about clothes nearly every week. Yes, she reported on the collections. And industry personalities.
Bonnie Sandy's insight:

Fashion critic ... no, Fashion tech  critic yeah...
i have opinions and conncerns, connecting fashion  and culture... Ithink the question is why bother and does it matter?

We all have opinions that has not changed so what gives
one of the comments 

"Why? Because people are too lazy to write? Or too lazy to read?"

in to day's connected world it seems one has to relive each moment three times over to "edit". that  i can't stand... maybe what we need are editors.
