Shameless self promotion: WWDMagic edition
Ok, not that shameless — this is my personal website, after all. But it has in fact been a very busy couple of months filled with a lot of cool happenings that I’m extremely proud to share.
First up is the WWDMagic trade show in Las Vegas that took place over Valentines Day week, which I attended after being chosen as one of 30 correspondents as part of the Teen Vogue Bloggers Lounge. Talk about feeling honored. It was an amazing display of the melding of new media and journalism, corporate content production and how bloggers can actually contribute so much more to the fashion industry than mere street style photos. It was such a fun few days running around like a mad person discovering new, cool lines, talking to showroom reps, interviewing the people who make the show happen and speaking about the business of blogging on a panel with influential bloggers including Jane Aldridge. And the content that I created was aggregated on the WWDMagic Tumblr blog and official website, which was a great way to get eyeballs on Style Section L.A. — which, as you probably know, is pretty much my main goal in life at the moment. I’ve been asked to come cover the show again in August, and am totally pumped.
And in a completely weird other-side-of-the-recorder situation, people actually wanted to interview me because of all this. Here are links to interviews I did with the official WWDMagic blog, Disarray Magazine and StyleBistro.com. Weird, wild stuff indeed.
And, as an aside, it was pretty damn dope to see Style Section L.A.’s name on press passes. That is all.
