IFB Links a la Mode - Rants & Raves

Rants & Raves

Edited by Ashe Mischief

I was taken aback when going through the submissions this week - there were so many powerful, strong, opinionated pieces that I felt really taken aback. With overwhelming positivity or negativity, the fashion community is finding its voice - and making themselves heard!

The fashion community is great at sharing the voice of others, and we've got several fabulous interviews to prove it. From Derek Lam at Poetic & Chic to White Rabbit's interview with Irish woman Sinead Doyle (along with my own interview with Amelia Arsenic at Dramatis Personae), there are voices for everyone. We've got bloggers ranting on the lack of premium denim in plus-sizes at Denim Debutante; some showcased inspirational figures like KOOS (at M.I.S.S.), Philip Crangi (at Eternal Masquerade), and Maria Felix (at Jewelry Whore).

Check out the full listing of Links a la Mode here.
