Guardian interviews Gemma about fashion blogging, NY Fashion Week

By shinychris

Great piece in Guardian.co.uk in which our very own Gemma talks about how how attitudes are changing towards bloggers especially those covering big fashion events such as New York Fashion Week.

She says: "I've seen a lot of changes in the last few years. When I first started out, nobody knew what a blog was and I was barely given the time of day. Now I'm very lucky that I get a lot of the same opportunities as mainstream press."

"You only have to look at the number of newspapers and magazines that now have fashion blogs to see how everyone is realising the potential of something so urgent and fast," she adds.

Talking about New York Fashion Week, she picks Jonathan Saunders as one of her favourites for his use of colour and flirty skirt shape and, of course, also Marc Jacobs. "I love the way he styles his shows to the max, but when you look closer you can pick out very commercial pieces that will really sell."
