Net-a-Porter Ranks Most Powerful Blogs, FashionIndie Snubbed Once Again

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 10:30:41 +0000

Online super retailer Net-a-Porter asked a panel of industry experts, including Paper Magazine‘s Mickey Boardman, gal about town and Harper’s Bazaar Editor-at-Large Derek Blasberg and Bloglovin’ founder Mattias Swenson to select their top ten favorite blogs. If FashionIndie hadn’t done enough coke at 54 to powder the nose of every actress in Hollywood ten times over thus rendering all emotions dead below the larynx, our feelings would be super hurt right now. Check out the list below, if you care to (you shouldn’t).

1. Jak & Jil

2. Hanneli

3. Bryanboy

4. Garance Doré

5. Style Bubble

6. The Sartorialist

7. Business of Fashion

8. Style Rookie

9. The Coveteur

10. Yes! A Bunny Stream of Conch

I’ve never even heard of that last one — nor did I care to — but what do you think of this list? [Net-a-Porter]

Putting the Lady Back in First Lady

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 21:29:27 +0000

To celebrate the release of his book, Power Dressing: First Ladies, Women Politicians & Fashion, author Robb Young asked a few of fashion’s best and fiercest — including Simon Doonan and Nicola Formichetti — to style some of the most powerful women in the world with the help of illustrator Charlotte Hoyle. The result finds nary a pantsuit or a sweaterset in sight.

Hillary Clinton getting the big picture in Rick Owens.

Fierce Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama telling it like it is in Proenza Schouler. What, no McQueen this time?

Doonan decided former Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko needed more Dior Haute Couture in her life. As does everyone.

Susie Bubble wants Home Secretary of the United Kingdom, Theresa May, bubbling up in Versus.

Though she hardly needs the help, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy gets reworked in Stella McCartney. Only gripe, where’s the goddamn heel?

Samantha Cameron, wife of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, looking felicitous in Felicity Brown.

Former French Presidential candidate Segolene Royal going to werq in Dries Van Noten.

Nicola Formichetti threw First Lady of Cameroon and all-around fabulous black lady Chantal Biya in some Mugler. That heel is presumably also 24 inches.

Queen Rania of Jordan gets short and flirty in Erdem. Meanwhile, she’s a queen, for Elizabeth II‘s sake, not a starlet going commando at a film premiere.

Last, and certainly least, Sarah Palin, looking chic on her way to ruin what’s left of America in Christopher Kane. I can hear her cackling even through this illustration.

What do you think of these politically-charged high fashion makeovers? Personally, I think Hillary looks the best out of all of them — giving goddess realness while sacrificing none of the power she’s been harnessing in those pantsuits over the last decade or so.

STREETHERO: Susie Bubble Tones Down, Gets Classy com

Rebecca Alexander — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 19:54:15 +0000

While Susie Bubble was always struck me as a brave dresser, she never really stuck out as a good one. I officially take that back.

Her look always fit the London fashion scene, where over the top was a way of life, but throw her in New York or Any Mall, Middle America and her look quickly became costume.

Now it seems as if with more power, she’s taking more responsibility for her style, leaving the world of fashion for fashions sake and embracing a style that’s refreshingly unique and very mature.

While she still does manage to wear things that make more sense in theory than in practice, I feel that more and more, as I travel through the backlogs of her blog, I’m witnessing the musings of a Style Icon rather than a girl with a love for mismatched pattering, which for this blogger, who’d rather be in all black and denim is a welcoming discovery.

Are Successful Fashion Bloggers All Trust-Funders?

The Fashion Web — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 22:09:03 +0000

Having your own fashion blog as your job seems kind of like one of those dream professions like modeling or acting where all you do all day is put together cute outfits and take pictures of yourself in them. The difference is that successful models get paid. A lot. That’s not so evident with independent fashion bloggers who might have a huge following but don’t seem to actually do much. They've got to have some money somewhere to be able to live like that, right? Recently, Susie Bubble had to confront this assumption after posting about a shopping spree on her blog, Style Bubble, where she disclosed the $338 (220 GBP) price of her Christopher Kane purchase. A reader got a bit curious, leaving the comment: “220 here, 220 there…how much money do you actually spend on clothes? and im not buyng the story…oh they are an investment, like some sort of fashion archive … how do you make money to afford to buy things like this and travel like you do.” Susie, slightly offended, retaliated, and detailed exactly how a fashion blogger supports herself …

Eu não tenho como escrever algo similar; por isso mesmo indico a perfeição do post de Susie Lau. Ela discorre sobre a falta de fotos das costas das roupas em desfiles e lookbooks. Perfeita e divina – como sempre. Se não conhece o blog, recomendo!

A coleção couture da Givenchy feita por Ricardo Tisci teve fotos das costas das modelos -

The couture collection Ricardo Tisci has made for Givenchy has photos from the backs of the models

I couldn’t write a better post – actually, I couldn’t even compare myself to her. That’s why I’ll just tell you to go to Susie Lau’s blog and read her post about the lack of pictures from the back of models on catwlak shows and lookbooks. She’s always amazing and divine – and if you’ve never read her blog, I recommend you start doing it now!

THE INNER-VIEWS OF FASHION: Fashion Blogger Susie Bubble

Hillary Frazier — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:39:13 +0000

My Fashion Life caught up with fashion blogger Susie Bubble, of Style Bubble to see what she’s been up to (besides recently beginning work for Dazed & Confused)..check it out!

–

My Fashion Life: This morning you woke up

Susie Bubble: And had a very very strong leaning towards frayed denim. Cheesy frayed denim to be precise.

MFL: How would you describe your style?

SB: Eclectic and ever-evolving.

MFL: What does a normal working day for you consist of?

SB: Staring at the screen for hours on end pondering the meaning of various URL’s.

MFL: What other fashion blogs would you recommed?

SB: Luxirare.com,Diane Pernet’s blog,Gnarlitude,Foxyman,Style Lines,Tavi… the list goes on…

MFL: Fashion tip for the season?

SB: Replace the fashion tips with PG-Tips?

MFL: What’s your super power?

SB: The ability to drink copious amounts of tea…

MFL: What’s your party trick?

SB: Turning up overdressed. Everytime.

MFL: Who or what has been your greatest fashion influence?

SB: The movements of the sun and whether it decides to show its face…

MFL: If you owned a shop, what would it be called?

SB:Verbal Diarrhea

MFL: If you could be dressed by anyone, who would it be and what would you have them put you in?

SB: Surely if they were dressing me, they would be in charge of what to put me in? I’ll leave the task in the hands of Camille Bidault Waddington who has exceedingly good taste…

MFL: Who are your favourite emerging designers and what is it that you love about them?

SB: Louise Gray’s unexpected mix of different elements, Sandra Backlund’s immense sense of shape, Mary Katrantzou’s unique stance on prints, and Jeremy Laing’s stealthy cool.

MFL: What item of clothing (if any) do you wish that more of us wore?

SB: Hats.

MFL: With blogs and ezines becoming increasing popular, do you think print magazines have a future?

SB: Yes of course – I’ll still be buying them!

MFL: Finally, what’s the one question you wish people asked you but you’ve never had the opportunity to answer? (And what is the answer?)

SB: Do you have wrinkly elbows? Yes…they’re like walnuts.

MFL: Epitaph:

SB: A melting potato of a girl.

Marios Schwab Makes Like a Disney Animated Flick and Gets All 3-D On Our Two Dimesional Asses

Saynt — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:38:03 +0000

Susie Bubble took some time to talk about Marios Schwab’s latest collection, a mix of printed dresses with 3-D images on them. We weren’t impressed. Seriously Schwab, if you’re going to enter a third dimension can you at least make sure your prints are of something we want to see popping out at us, say like a Tiger (oh scary), a fist (watch out now!!!) or a giant pair of bodascious tatas!!! (I’d prefer the last although combing the three might make for the ulitmate sensory experience, eh?)

Either way, the collection seems to require the kind of gimmick that Schwab introduced cause as a whole, it was unmemorable. You can check out Susie’s snaps of the show and judge for yourself. Be sure to leave comments if you think I’m a totally idiot for talking smackage.

Susie Bubble of Style Bubble revealed her favorite magazines recently and we went gaga over the new glossies we never knew existed. We’ve been scoping the sites and have found some amazing picts, awesome editorials and the kind of spreads we can put our stamp of approval on.

The full list below. Enjoysies.

“Even looking at the list, it’s by no means definitive which is quite a scary thought in itself…. tot up the prices of those mags PLUS my regular stash and it’s a bit of a scary sum…” – Susie Bubble

Biba Relaunch, Again

Rebecca Alexander — Wed, 21 May 2008 16:24:31 +0000

We’ve written about them many times, but now it looks as though Biba is again re-inventing themselves. I feel like we should do a ‘designer discovery’ with every season that this label produces. And apparently Sussie Bubble agrees.

“Biba’s aiming at an entirely different demographic to what it was decades ago when it was the place for cheap, fast, funky fashion. With Bella Freud having left the scene, the new creative team have crammed as much lux quality into the designs, and suddenly, I ‘geddit’…. it is to be treated as a fashion label with a past that lives on in ‘spirit’ but not in anything else. ”

Recap

Rebecca Alexander — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 01:21:49 +0000

So fashion week has been crazy, from the shows, to the afterparties and all the goodies in between. I am tierd (mainly of standing in line waiting), and stressed (because somehow, RSVP’s get lost in translation) , and beyond in love with some great new talent (love Terexov, and not only because of the caviar and vodka filled afterparty).

I’m running out of outfits for events, and sick of seeing the same non-celebrity celebrities (Cory Kennedy, cute girl but far from stardom). On the bright side, fashion week is almost over and the good stuff is only yet to come. Tomorrow night is Peter Som (9pm at the tents) and then the Gucci/Madonna/UN cocktail party. Yes, Indies, we are cool enough to get an invite, personally messaged over this morning. Very excited, especially since feeling jealousy toward Susie Bubble for getting an invite, who we met Sunday night at The Box. What a sweet girl! Thursday is the NY Couture show. Everyone needs to be there! After all, she is the new Heatherette.

Then Friday, off to the Gen Art Fall 2008 Fashion Show. And this year, they are mixing things up. The nations leading art and fashion organization is showcasing one chosen designer, instead of their normal three. Camilla Staerk will be presenting her label, STAERK. The collection titled “Bride of the Black Moon,” will return her beloved noir palette and luxurious textures of leather and lace. Looking forward to seeing that, and meeting the designer. Below: piece from Camilla’s previous collection.

Many shows have come and gone this past week, but one still stands out in my mind. Maybe because of the celebrities, maybe because of the floor length gowns that I would never have a place to wear to, but mainly because of the abundance of FUR. I know, I know! Fur is bad, PETA will not be happy with me, but what can I say, it’s the Russian in me. Venexiana was a show unlike any other. With looks that included full length fur coats, sequence cocktail dresses, and floor length silk gowns. I was speechless…Imagine that!

Street Hero : Photos Tell a Better Tale Day 3 of New York Fashion Week

Saynt — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:29:14 +0000

Fashion week has been a bit of a blur Indies. Yesterday, I spent most of the day blogging away and having a mighty fine time doing it. I’m not a writer by nature, I mean I’ve been known to jot a poem or two in my notebook and the occasion haiku might get spit out (Sayntly boys knows this, if Devils wear Prada then, God is with Jacobs), but at the end of the day I’m a business man who loves two things; parties and money. So to keep you abreast of what’s been going on and give me the opportunity to work on making sure everything is set for our big Thursday night party, I’ll just give you the photos with a couple bits of wit.

The band. Mostly spoken word and lipsyncing plus some fun dance routine featuring “Russian.Fire.Bird” which was a little like the YMCA.

I’ll never get modern British music.

Totally in hearts with Cory Kennedy. Something about chicks with income that always gets me going. She’s a real sweetheart, but you can tell that she’s on the cusp of real celebrity status away from her indie following. Give it a year and a show on MTV and she’ll be more followed than Paris Hilton. Hope your up for the challenge, Cory. Oh yeah, and your officially off my BASH list. (yes, I know I’m a wimp.)

Cory Solo.

Our favorite UK blogger Susie Bubble from Style Bubble makes her New York Debut. The girl will be rocking with Madonna at the upcoming Gucci party in Central Park. Two thoughts that I was wrong about – 1. She is so not short. 2. She has a British accent. Super cute, uber stylish.

Me with Ms.Bubble

JoMarie, our stylish fashion week friendly, got up close and personal with Kyle XY (Matt Dallas). This dude is so not gay. He hit on anything and everything with boobs. After asking him to show us his belly button, we discussed whether pretty boys are considered cute or hot. Conversation ended when Beckham trumped all.

After all the excitement of meeting a real “celebrity” I headed to VIP to party with Iqons magazines and Shaded View of Fashion star, Diane Pernet. Through her raspy voice she gave me some insight on making a blog spectacular. She smelled like the incents from a Catholic church. It was Commes de Garcons perfume, of course.

After THE BOX and the Iqons Magazine party we headed to Terexov after party. Vodka and Caviar and models, oh my.

Later is was over to La Esquina (yes, Serge Becker owns my ass). Mexican luchadores and more models abounded. Checked the watch, 3AM. Better head home and get some sleep, day four is tomorrow and it’s the busiest yet. See ya tomorrow indies.

Style Bubble’s Susie Bubble

Saynt — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 23:37:27 +0000

For nearly two years the fashion blogosphere has been delightfully entertained by the stylish musings a bubbly character from the UK. Susanna Lau (Susie Bubble as she’s called by her readers) is one fashionista who knows a good look and isn’t afraid to share it. Known for snapping photos of herself in over the top get ups from some of fashions most prolific designers, Susie has developed a cult like following all looking to her for her daily word on style.I caught up with little miss Bubble to ask her about her style, her inspirations, and which city has the hottest looks.

LG: How long does it take you to get dressed in the morning?SL: It depends on where I’m going but somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes. I don’t tend to try on different outfits as I have a fairly fixed idea of what I’m going for in my head as soon as I’ve woken up.LG: What do you consider a fashion faux pas?SL: I don’t really believe in the that phrase. Or at least I think it’s used in a very silly way. There is no such thing as a faux pas if you wear everything with conviction. So I guess the faux pas is wearing something without conviction?LG: Do you feel a person should dress age accordingly?SL: I don’t really believe in age-appropriate dressing as it really depends on the person. I’ve seen 50 year olds rock studded shoes mixed with Aztec printed dresses perfectly well. I don’t really guess people’s age that well either so if they’re wearing a non-age appropriate outfit, I probably wouldn’t know!

LG: What is one thing every girl/guy should have in their wardrobe?SL: Something that makes them feel invincible when they walk out of the door. For me, it’s my pink Miu Miu Pop platform shoes. It might be something entirely different for someone else.LG: Who do you consider fashion icons?SL: Would it be entirely wrong if I said I don’t have one? ‘Fashion Icon’ is a heavy title that I don’t use lightly so for me, I haven’t really found that person.LG: Who/what do you look to for inspiration?SL: The weather, my collection of historical biographies, countless stacks of magazines, Etsy, Ebay, countless number of blogs, fabric stores, films, the streets of London

LG: Who is your favorite designer?SL: I love so many designers work, it’s very hard to name one favorite but I guess the work that I’m constantly intrigued by is Olivier Theyskens.LG: Favorite fashion capital/ For what reason?SL: London because I know it the best and because I like seeing new and exciting talent emerge from the place which I know so well. Though Paris comes a very close second.

LG: Which has better fashion Hong Kong or London? How do they differ?SL: London has a much more diverse array of fashion both in street style and what is available in shopping. Thought he style aesthetic of style in Hong Kong is perceived as being more outrageous than it is in London, it’s quite limited and very one-dimensional for me. For womenswear, it sometimes errs on the overly cute side of things for me.For more from Susie Bubble visit StyleBubble.Typepad.comWanna Share Your Fashions Online? Visit Trendible.com.
