Because we carry it around on our bodies all day, and all of our lives, fashion is a supremely personal topic, one with sociological implications as well.
That’s the idea behind the new Tumblr blog Fashionological, started by author Shaista Justin and “her own personal Frenchman,” Olivier Berger, who is also co-founder of the soon-to-launch Shopolate.
Posts include interviews with tastemakers of various stripes, from indie musicians to boutique owners; polls and surveys; infographics; and editorials.
And today I have the pleasure of being one of their first guest posters, what fun! I dipped into the memory banks to recall my introduction to the world of fashion, and how it all began with Andy Warhol. (A topic I first touched on last year when I talked about my “fashion story.”)
So if you’re looking for a different take on fashion, style and our relationship with our clothes, give Fashionological a read, won’t you?
Speaking of fashion + sociology
- How did you first get introduced to fashion, style and designers?
- Do you remember a first, beloved outfit?
- What’s your favorite fashion magazine, and why?
