Does Fashion Blogging Suck?

Tribunal of Good Taste

This is what Julie is wondering today.

And a Jack & Hill reader writes in: “Call me cranky, but with the except of Manolo, most of The PM fashion bloggers have no clue about what they’re looking at. They’re very busy writing about how they’re perceived, who’ve they’ve seen or met or waved to, the spectacle of the tents and not very much about the collections. I think the MSM fashion media is pretty safe from the blogger onslaught. “

Oh, it’s not as bad as all that, is it? Here Omiru is busy telling us what’s coming down the runway. And The Fashionable Kiffen has some trend analysis (keyword: volume).

The Sartorialist has the best candid backstage images around.

Miss Meghan has abandoned the shows in favor of a tour of boutiques in Manhattan’s meatpacking district, where the real celebrity/editor action is, while Andrea Tung takes you on a knitting-shop tour of the island.

A Dress A Day breaths a sigh of “finally, something I really like” here.

Tribunal of Good Taste has posted a series of fashion polls.

If you want to put your own two cents in, Glam.com has just now put up a public discussion forum dedicated to the shows.

Oh yes—and check back here tomorrow, when we’ll have video blogging courtesy of Fashion Tribes.

And just remember, if it didn’t suck just a little, it wouldn’t really be blogging…
