Costume Institute's blog.mode: addressing fashion
What do blogging and fashion have in common? From Fashion Week Daily's recap of the Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute's latest show entitled "blog.Mode: Addressing Fashion", not much.
I see a bank of computers with a chic young woman browsing something on the screen, but other than the superficial quotes about the internet, I'm not really sure the event had anything to do with the blogosphere, other than a quick mention.
Is this failure from the publication to report on the blogging angle of the evening, or was it a mediocre attempt by the event planners to jump on the new media bandwagon?
If anyone was there, I'd love to know what exactly was addressed while in blog mode at the Met?
P.S. I love Mr. Blahnik's intriguing comment about Galliano and McQueen. Juicy story indeed.
Editors Update
Thanks to Sylvia Rubin of the SF Chronicle for clarifying this for me.
The millions of fashion blog posts out there may be fun to read, but unlike with political blogging, Koda doesn't believe the fashion blogosphere in general has a real impact on the industry. "Fashion is integral to everyone's experience, but it's certainly not equal to the political blogging sector," he says. "That has real impact."He does religiously read fashion blogs by New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn and Washington Post staff writer Robin Givhan, he says. "What I get out of them is something as a curator I never get - the commentary on their blogs from the layperson, the audience. And I think they can inform our judgments."
