Enter… THE BLOG WORKS!

I blog, therefore I am. Perhaps that’s overstating it just a little bit. But seriously, we think it’s hard to overestimate the influence of blogging on today’s world. Blogs are not just a huge part of many people’s lives – they are integral to our current media reality. Especially in the fashion scene, bloggers are often retreating from their ‘private diary’ safety zone, entering the ever more diverse world of fashion media.

It’s a crossover that has not surprisingly inspired many of us – but at the same time it has sparked discussions about the thin line between personal opinion and objective reporting, ethical issues and blogging standards. It’s a discussion that has infiltrated magazine articles, blog posts and many conversations between fashion professionals and bloggers.

The Blog Works centralizes these discussions and offers a platform for debate. The workings of the fashion world and its media, journalism standards, and personal branding are all issues we’d like to address during this first event of its kind: a seminar slash workshop that will provide food for thought, and at the same time fuel your imagination!

Stay tuned for more…
