Remotely Fashion
At the London Fashion Weekend I had the pleasure of hearing the two beautiful fashion bloggers of Remotely Fashion, Miriam and Siobhan, give a talk about the realities of Blogging.
Their talk expressed the positives and negatives of fashion blogging not only for an individual but for the industry.
Their story
The two met in Japan when Miriam sparked a conversation with Soibhan over her brogues. The two decided to start a blog together and since then Miriam has moved from her 'grey' old office job to become a stylist.
Tips on Blogging from Miriam and Siobhan...
A blog should be fun. Make you smile. The two say that they are feminists and their blog is never used for bitching or gossiping purposes. It is purely a website in which two fashion passionate women express their love and fascination over fashion. They use their blog as a form of media.
A blog is a community of people who are unofficially published. They want their opinion heard and out there. Many Magazines and writers write to please designers and their advertisers. However on a blog you have the voice and the power to agree or disagree with what others are saying.
Additionally a Blog is a great way to get your work out there. It is a great way to create a portfolio and you may even end up with a job or connection from it.
Something you NEED when blogging is a thick skin! Not everyone will agree with what you are saying and that is fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and you are yours. As long as what you are saying isn't hurting anyone then you are fine to express your views. For example Miriam and Siobhan disagree on denim jackets. They're not for everyone.
Blogging Benefits for the industry...
Celebrating fashion through blogging is giving the fashion industry love and attention. It brings it to everyone from all walks of life all around the world. The bloggers are creating their own form of media and its genuine! Blogs are created to celebrate and love the Fashion world!!
