invites ::

once ignored, fashion bloggers have been embraced by the fashion world and in turn invited by some of the worlds top designers to sit front row at their shows, clearly evident at the recent D&G show in Milan.

Bryan Boy, Tommy Ton and a host of other note-worthy commentators were set up with laptops front and center- blogging and twittering at warp speed.

:: T.T. set up shop and blogged, live from JakandJil:

"SO THIS WILL PROBABLY NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN SO I’M JUST GOING TO BLOG IT. I AM SITTING FRONT ROW AT DOLCE & GABBANA RIGHT NOW SITTING NEXT TO HAMISH BOWLES AND BRANA WOLF, ONE SEAT AWAY ON EACH SIDE FROM GLENDA BAILEY AND ANNA WINTOUR. A SEASON AGO I HAD TO WAIT PATIENTLY OUTSIDE FOR ARRIVALS AND EXITS AND NOW I’M SITTING HERE. WHAT A LITTLE TWISTED WORLD THE FASHION WORLD IS????????"

:: blogalista Rumi of Fashion Toast was e-mailing back and forth with Esteban Cortezar of Emanuel Ungaro, all due to the attention her blog brings, when he invited her to the shows in Paris.... fingers crossed, one day that could be me- Rad Hourani, here i am.
