About the Author

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).

Sinners & Saynt: New & Far From Improved Fashion Indie

January 31st, 2008 • Related • Filed Under


I always loved it when product companies would tout something as “NEW & IMPROVED”. It always made me feel as if the version I had before was “OLD & SHITTY”. I guess this kind of thinking was been around for ages. You tweak a couple of things, change the formula a bit, add a few extra ingredients and boom, you’ve got the best thing since Ortho Tri-cyclen.

Well indies, we won’t put the new and improved label on Fashion Indie just yet, but we’ve made a few changes in this past month with are definitely notable. We’ve ditched the slow servers at Yahoo, which means we’ll be able to upload faster and on the go. We’ve added a fresh slew of writers and interns which are gonna cover the bejebus out of New York Fashion Week. We’ve brought on a new full time Editor, who has whipped are little office into shape and has already started on a major fashion whirlwind tour to all the showrooms, boutiques and designer shops that cater to indie.  Plus we’re getting all ready for our store opening so expect a buckload of how to’s on opening a boutique as we learn how to open a boutique.

In addition, we’ve added some new columns which will surely get you high off our own supply. The Bashed is a listing of all those, how do you put this nicely, oh yeah, douches and overrated nothings we’ve met in fashion. Yeah, this list might get pretty long, but after two years of writing about the very best in indie, we think it’s safe to point some fingers and name some names. Expect full on BASHINGS of Mr. Mikey, Bory Kennedy, and many, many more (it’s fashion week, we might be in overload).

On the other end of the spectrum, we’d like to invite the 100,000 strong of you who log on each month to praise The Blessed, our list of amazing fashion sweethearts who make us so glad there are other normal, down to earth people in fashion. We’re still looking for who will make the cut expect to get the skinny on Andre J, Malcolm Harris, and Nylon’s Faran Krentcil. We very mucho love you all and we’re not afraid to say it.
