The Most Influential Personal Style Bloggers Right Now

Some say the age of the personal style blogger is over.

Today, the girl needs more than an outfit, a boyfriend, and a camera. Bloggers need to think about production quality, editorial strategy, and affiliate programs to really gain a foothold on the web. They are more like editors, creating publications worthy of a million-person audience than a few thousand super-fans.

Yet it still comes down that camera. Nine times out of 10, the bloggers who move merchandise, who get people talking, who attract repeat advertisers, love to strike a pose.

So we say the personal style blogger isn’t going anywhere—-in fact, she’s more powerful than ever.

The Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine Dishes On Dressing Up Her Hubby for Rag & Bone

We don’t know which is cuter: Romeo Beckham for Burberry or Leandra Medine and her husband Abie Cohen for Rag & Bone.

Playing the Cher to his Tai, Medine madeover Cohen in several Rag & Bone looks for the holidays. She even got him in an intarsia sweater with daggers on it and some printed pants. “I just turned a solid man into a print man!” she exclaimed.

We had to know more, so we grabbed Medine on email to chat about the important things like: Stealing her husband’s clothes, wearing Speedos, and how to avoid “constipated bar-mitzvah boy” face when modeling.

Stuart Weitzman and Fergie Talk Inspiration and Regrets at Last Night’s Footwear News Awards

Titans of the footwear industry mingled alongside shoe-obsessed celebs like Victor Cruz, Fergie, Miranda Kerr, and more at last night’s 26th annual Footwear News Achievement Awards held at MoMa.

But the real star of the night was shoe designer Stuart Weitzman, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award. “I am not so naive as to not know that there are thousands of people in this industry who work as hard as I do,” said Weitzman of the honor. “Not everybody gets noticed, so it’s pretty humbling to be noticed.” Well, Weitzman has been noticed by everyone from Queen Elizabeth II to Beyonce, who recorded a special video congratulating him (“I’ve danced literally 1,000 miles in his amazing shoes,” she shared). So is there anyone Weitzman wishes he could see in his designs?
