We’re always sneaking new things into Fashionising without much hoo-hah. So now we’ll make official two of the more recent additions to the fashion industry community;
Casting Calls for models, photographers, stylists, make-up artists… in fact everyone in the fashion industry.
The Fashionising Newsletter keeping everyone up to date with the latest fashion, trends, lifestyle, special offers, and events.
In brief: Our recent coverage of Lily Allen’s fashion collection for New Look has brought Fashionising to the attention of MTV.
A lot of mental effort (as well as physical effort) went into creating Fashionising out of Rogue Connect, most of which revolved around whether it really was time to take the testing bed which was the latter and launch the former.
Well we’re pleased to say, it’s paid off.
March was the largest month ever for any Rogue Ménage initiative, with Fashionising quadrupling traffic over its predecessor. We’re still crunching the numbers, but it appears to have been largely thanks to a bevy of new features, giving our new members the ability to do more, especially the Fashion Diary.
To help the spread of Fashionising we’ve made available custom URLs for the first time.
From here on in members can select an easy-to-remember URL to point there friends towards. This should also be of great use to models and designers look to promote themselves to the industry.
As an example, my own profile can now be found at http://www.fashionising.com/dpd as opposed to the much clunkier http://www.fashionising.com/profile.php?profile=1
The Social Networking Weblog is asking if cliques are the wave of the future. We certainly think so.
It’s been a key element in our development of Fashionising, our social network created for those who love fashion and/or work in the industry. Fashionising is itself a clique, it’s a site built for a community with a niche interesting. But we also realise that fashion is not enough of a commonality - people’s tastes are too different. So we’ve also built individual cliques as a feature into Fashionising. They’re available to those members who have other interests, more specific interests.
A preview of our upcoming social fashion network, Fashionising.com, is now online.
Scheduled for full release in April, the current preview is open to registration and features a bevvy of new tools haven’t included in any of our past initiatives. These include;
Of course, we have many more up our sleeve and you can expect to see them before our April launch.
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.
