It is no surprise that fashion bloggers have increased their trend prediction power, compared to their traditional magazine counterpart, mostly due to the rapid dissemination of information that is organic to reporting on line.
Power players like Scott Schuman, aka, The Sartorialist, and Susie Bubble, founder of StyleBubble.com, or even the internet’s newest fashion-ista star, Bryan Boy, receive several thousands of hits per day, catapulting their fashion blogs to celebrity status.
