A
fashion blog can cover many things such as specific items of clothing and accessories, trends in various apparel markets, celebrity fashion choices and street fashion trends, etc. Fashion is covered at all levels from the biggest names to the smallest indie designers. Many fashion blogs could also be categorised as shopping blogs, since most of the conversation is shopping advice, liberally laced with consumer recommendations. This is very similar to the content of fashion magazines. Some retailers in the fashion industry have even started blogs of their own to promote their products. Blogs that only occasionally mention fashion are not categorised as fashion blogs, although they may be labelled by the blogger as such. The advantage of being a great Blogger often leads to becoming a stylist, becoming a designer or joining a huge fashion house. Blogging could be the future of fashion. Bloggers represent a new generation of really collaborative, amazing creators that are ready to challenge the world of fashion
