The Best Fashion Blogs

Bored in the library? Putting off starting your dissertation? Have a look at these blogs and while away January looking at good looking, well dressed people…


The Londoner

Facehunter

According to The Telegraph, Yvan Rodic is a former advertising copywriter. His blog was one of the first to capture street style. He has since published a book, exhibited his photographs, created advertising campaigns and directed fashion films.

‘When I moved from Switzerland to Paris, I discovered a new world: fashion. Friends would take me to shows and parties. I’d be so excited about all the fabulous characters and felt I should share them with others. I photograph people who combine elegance and creativity. I celebrate individual style from around the world with an emphasis on “unusual” places. Everybody knows about Paris or Milan; to me, posting an inspiring picture from Santiago or Helsinki has much more value.’

This blog is quirky and cool. Enjoy.

Hypebeast

One for the edgier guys out there, Kevin Ma lives in Hong Kong and formerly worked in the financial sector. In 2005 he launched Hypebeast as a forum for his love of trainers and street style.

‘I started blogging because I wanted a way to keep track of the things I liked and where to access them. As time goes on, we’re finding it is still growing and so are our readers, which provides us with the catalyst to continue searching for the unique and the unconventional. We try to feature things that are one of a kind. The great thing about blogging is that it can be accessed anywhere by anyone in the world. It’s free for people to enjoy, share and be inspired by.’

Manrepeller

Leandra Medine is a New York-based journalist. Since starting her blog she has collaborated on films with the designer Michael Kors and Simon Doonan, creative ambassador at large at Barneys in New York.

‘My blog started as a simple “Would this repel men or not?” Now it’s more about questioning whether or not what I’m featuring is aesthetically pleasing and wearable art. Initially, I wasn’t the man-repeller; I was just making the observations. Over time I started putting images of myself on the site, created a persona. It has expanded from just women’s fashion being repulsive to men to women consciously dressing for themselves and almost hoping that they will in fact achieve man-repeller status.’

The Londoner

My favourite blog out there, this is a mash up of lifestyle and fashion and is just an all round great blog. Rosie T blogs about her life and mixes posts on new clubs in London with posts centred around weekends at home in the country with her dog Custard. It is great and you could spend hours on there…go go go.
