Fashion always takes direction from what’s occurring in the world around it. Inspired by current events and historical references, this season’s fashion is no exception. Subtly chic but ever so powerful, it takes its cue from modern-day political divas, do-it-all celebrity moms, and the take-charge businesswoman.
The Internet has changed the hierarchy of the fashion industry. It may not have rendered it egalitarian in the truest sense — clicking through the latest Marc Jacobs show on style.com doesn’t quite compare to being front-row center, and thumbing through a glossy magazine isn’t exactly the same as producing it from behind the scenes — but that hasn’t stopped the women in the growing fashion blogger community from taking some editorial control into their own hands. Their playground is their blogging engine; their tools are their cameras and whatever’s hanging in their closets; and they fill every role themselves, from model and stylist to photographer and writer. Here in Massachusetts, we found four up-and-coming bloggers who live and breathe fashion with a passion that rivals that of any expert. Whether they’re posting from Cambridge or Jamaica Plain, on the subject of studded boots or their favorite boutiques, there’s something uniquely New England about each of their sites.
