Cathy Horyn and The Fashion Bloggers

Manolo says, there is the very astute article written by the fashion reporter the Cathy Horyn in the Times of the New York about the six young influential Paris-based designers.

The article it is very much worth the reading in the entirity, however for the Manolo these paragraphs they leaped out at him.

You don’t have to be a fan of the reality show “Project Runway” to appreciate that fashion has become more and more populist. This is the age, after all, of the adolescent designer, the celebrity designer, the hip-hop designer, and the claimants have been as varied as Sean Combs and Esteban Cortazar, who was 18 when he held his first show.

And though fashion, like politics, is still an insider’s game, with its own addicts and agenda-setting editors, nothing, it seems, can compete with the authentic judgment of bloggers and Web viewers.

This it is to the knowledge of the Manolo the first time that any person in the Media of the Mainstream has acknowledged the role that the bloggers have begun to play in the setting of the fashion agenda.

The Manolo he is confident in predicting that the fashion blogging, it is only in its infancy, and that it will grow in the importance over the coming two or three years. Indeed, look for more of the fashion industry insiders to begin their own blogs.

In the meantime, the Manolo he points you to the links on the right side of this page where you may find links to many of the Manolo’s favorite fashion bloggers. If you know of any others that are worthy of the inclusion in this list please let the Manolo know.

The Hasselhoff Trenchcoat!

Manolo shouts, Hasselhoff! In the black leather trenchcoat!

And, as the special bonus, the story about the Hasselhoff and the Mrs. Hasselhoff snogging in the public!

David Hasselhoff and his loving wife gave a very public show of their love with a nauseating game of tonsil tennis at a celebrity bash in LA.The Hoff and missus Pamela arrived at the Race To Erase MS gala – before a sloppy, soggy impromptu snog in front of the paparazzi.The couple – wearing ‘classy’ matching black leather outfits – were all over each other like a couple of lovestruck teenagers before heading into the Century Plaza Hotel.

Yes, it is true, the Hasselhoff he is very much the romantic.
