When is a fashion blog not a fashion blog? Let’s see
Tuesday August 18, 2009 / Categories: New Media, Content
Just because a website uses a blogging platform for content, in my eyes, that doesn’t make it a blog; even if the publisher calls it a blog.
So what’s the difference between a fashion blog and an online fashion magazine?
Well, today’s fashion blogs are written by individuals the readers have a relationship with.
The blogger posts photos of themselves; in outfits, at parties and even at work.
An online fashion magazine is newsy.
The news isn’t what the writer’s wearing, where they’re going or what they do for a living.
The news is what someone else wears, where someone else goes or what someone else does.
A fashion blog is…

An online fashion magazine is…

The definition is made all the more difficult by the intentions of the blog/magazine involved. So many magazines try and dress themselves up as blogs but a surprising number of blogs long to be magazines and this dictates the content. The most successful fashion blogs are the ones which have a unique voice.
