IFB Fashion Blog Conference

On Monday, February 15, hundreds of fashion bloggers assembled at the lovely Helen Mills Theater for the first IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) conference, Evolving Influence. The Conference featured workshops and panels on marketing, business, ethics, and the future of fashion blogging. The top-notch roster of speakers included:

Suzie Bubble
Tavi Gevinson \ Style Rookie
Bryanboy
Erika Miller \ ELM Consulting
Phil Oh \ Street Pepper
Jessica Schroder \ What I Wore
Gina Garrubbo \ BlogHer
Jennine Jacob \ The Coveted & founder of IFB
plus many more.

I'm happy to know that there's an existing outlet to celebrate and promote fashion bloggers as we navigate this evolving strand of media. Thank you IFB!

Alexandre Herchcovitch / Fall 2010

I'm always impressed by the work of Brazilian designer, Alexandre Herchcovitch, he's one of my favs. He dives into the world of Soviet legends and folklore in his 2010 winter collection, which pays tribute to Georgian director Sergei Paradjanov. When I landed myself the front row, next to Bryanboy, I decided to take a break from the camera to enjoy the show. I did manage to sneak in a few shots; here they are:

Betsey Johnson pt. 2 / Fall 2010

Inspired by over 40 years' of her own work, Betsey Johnson took her lively audience to an unexpected place on Valentine's Day--the Wild Wild West. Always careful to follow no ones rules but her own, Betsey's collection for Fall 2010 featured her signature prints, stripped body suites, and lace bloomers. Kinda messy, kinda sexy, and always over the top; you have to love Betsey Johnson.

Note: It's hard to shoot when you are on the risers getting smashed between several men with enormous cameras but because Creative Cookie is committed to using original photography, I literally fought my way through to get some half-way decent shots. Enjoy:).

Anna Sui / Fall 2010

Known for her rebellious, edgy, punk perspective on feminine styles Anna Sui pays ode to the arts & crafts movement with her latest collection. I've always been in awe of her elaborate embellishments and vintage references and her Fall 2010 collection is no exception. Anna introduced amazing frames, patterned stockings, and jewelry inspired by Michigan, Anna's home State, from designer Erickson Beamon. See more looks in our photo album.
