Get ready to start Fashionising

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

You may have noticed that late last week we snuck a new category into Rogue Menage’s blog - Fashionising.

You’re going to be hearing a lot from us about Fashionising in the near future.

Until then (and by then, we probably mean tomorrow) we’re keeping mum.

Are you competing online?

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

860,000 people attended Girorgio Armani’s PrivĂ© show in Paris last month. Of course, you can’t fit that many people around a catwalk, and the 860,000 people where there courtesy of show being streamed across the Internet.

Which raises the question - what is your internet presence like?

Larger fashion companies are notoriously bad at getting there act together when it comes to the digital revolution. But your smaller label doesn’t have the same issues. Certainly yo have a much more limited budget, but you don’t have the red tape, layers of management, and the lack of understanding to really get out there.

If brands like Armani are taking up such opportunities, then they’re already out of date and the next big thing is waiting for you to come on board.

The Fashion Week Hoax or Next-To-Free Publicity

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

Don’t want to spend US$2.5 million on your next fashion show? How about getting some free publicity by way of a hoax?

That’s exactly what Trovata did at New York Fashion Week. Forget paying for a show, send actors to turn up at every show and get people talking about them. Of course, make sure they’re wearing your threads at every photo opportunity.

It cost Trovata money, but no-where-near the millions fashion week cost others. And they got more publicity out of it.

We’re pretty chuffed right now. With no advertising, and only by means of word of mouth, style spy has reached the 200 user mark today.

In total they’ve voted over 5,700 times on 896 trends and fashion items.

I remain the most prolific apparently. Kate Moss remains the sexiest and most stylish person. Think she’d be willing to swap qualities with me?
