BALLETIC IN THE SHINNING

Fashion isn’t a vibrant-colored, drama-free Disney movie, and style isn’t always a childhood fairytale. People and fashion and style and the world are complicated. Style change. People grow. Fashion happens. Good collections happen. Unexpected collections happen. And sometimes terrible collections happen. The world is constantly turning. People and fashion are constantly evolving. It’s pretty apparent that #Fashion #journalism has a serious issue with quality – more and more you see mainstream media refering to @Instagram, #Twitter and other social networks for information, regurgitating the same flaccid reporting without fact checking them, and all-in-all trying to just beat each other to the headline as the fashion cycle has sped up with the introduction of the Internet. Since 1995, confidence {not consumption} in fashion media has declined, prints are plummeting and furthermore @NowManifest, the @CondeNast owned #blog portal which hosted fashion #bloggers including @SusieBubble, @Anna_Dello_Russo and @BryanBoycom – whom @TyraBanks brilliantly reinvented @CW_ANTM, has been shut down since .. November, effective this week, to heighten #Style.com’s fashion content strategy, which interestingly will force a paradigm shift in fashion journalism vis-à-vis digital platforms because even with eighty thous and plus -unbiased- words @SuzyMenkesVogue bes tows on us every year, we still need independent not in-dependant new voices. We, at http://modediplomatique.com, are from a #Kubrick purview trying to push the industry to make fundamental changes to the way they approach fashion reporting. You don’t try to pho tograph fashion as #Lindeberg did – here with #ChristyTurling ton – but you try to pho tograph the pho tograph of #fashion. We need, no we must, do the same with penmanship because #blogging per se is a performance about idiosyncratic #selfie egotism, not journalism.
