Founder and main dude at Fashion Indie, Daniel Saynt began his career in fashion at the tender age of 14, when he worked in the stockroom for some unnamed fashion whorehouse. His distaste for the mainstream quickly festered until he decided enough was enough, denouncing all mainstream fashion lines (unless the stuffs on sale or just down right irresistible or free, you can't say no to free).

Internet vs. Print: Bloomingdale’s Ditches The Catalog

May 12th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under


Here’s a fun story you can tell your kids.

There was once some strange magazine type thing that stores use to send people in the mail called a catalog which featured certain looks and must have items from the store. But then, people realized they were killing a shit load of trees and spending a crap load on reaching customers that would just head online to buy the stuff they saw.

Of course some companies like Bloomingdales weren’t smart enough to make things in the catalog available online, so they lost customers and finally gave up on the catalog altogether.

And so brought upon the death of catalogs, which was quickly followed by the death of magazines and books. So you see kiddies, print is dead, long live the Internet!!!

Oh, what a joy to be in online publishing at the dawn of the death of glossies!!!
