Vildy, after reading an article on “The Dirty, Unethical Business of Fashion Blogs”, thinks it’s good to be aware of how much “editorial” content in any public medium is tied, weakly or strongly, to advertising. Ornella found this look at how bloggers make money very interesting. Both of these articles were actually inspired by the WWD story “Hot Fashion Bloggers”. For the record, I do not accept free products, we no longer do product reviews, and we aggressively disclose content that is sponsored.

MNSara enjoyed the creativity of this video, which combines four years of daily head shots.
