Song of Style’s Aimee Song on Keeping her Day Job, and Getting ‘Burned’ by Competitive Bloggers

by Melanie Bender

Most people will dedicate their lives to building one career. At just 25, Aimee Song has already reached considerable success in two, as sought-after interior designer and It Blogger behind Song of Style.

Song of Style, thanks to Aimee’s knack for creating bold but laid-back real-life outfits, has amassed almost 4 million monthly views and garnered collaborations with the likes of Piperlime and 7 For All Mankind. It’s a setup that seems carefully orchestrated–what better backdrop for an outfit shot then an active construction site?–but its beginnings were surprisingly serendipitous.

We caught up with Song in L.A. to talk platforms (heels and social media), parents, and the challenges of life as a personal brand.

Rodger Berman: The Future of the Rachel Zoe Project Is ‘Unclear’

by

Before noon on Tuesday, a queue of well-dressed and platform heeled women was quickly growing outside a chic Nolita storefront. No, it wasn’t for an an end-of-year sample sale–it was to meet stylist/fashion designer/reality star/editor and all around fashion obsession Rachel Zoe.

The always-glam Piperlime guest editor (love the side part, by the way) was on hand to show off her top holiday picks from the online retailer and take photos with the first 10 fans in line. Loyal viewers of the Rachel Zoe Project also got an extra treat since Zoe brought along her entire entourage including her husband and business partner Rodger Berman, Rachel Zoe Inc. VP Mandana Dayani and styling assistant/bestie Joey Malouf. (And no Jeremiah Brent…hmm…)

Piperlime to Replace “Bluefly Accessories Wall” on Project Runway

Piperlime to Replace “Bluefly Accessories Wall” on Project Runway

by

For those of you out there still watching, season eight of Project Runway begins July 29 on Lifetime.

There are several changes in store for the long-running program. First, each episode of the new season will have a running time of ninety minutes (yes, you heard that right), which we can only hope will mean more Tim Gunn screen time. Next, the number of contestants has increased to seventeen from the usual sixteen.

Finally, the famed “Bluefly Accessories Wall” will change to the “Piperlime Accessories Wall”. The company has redesigned the wall by painting it Piperlime’s signature green, and will have a shopable “accessories wall” on its website so that viewers can purchase styles that are featured on the show.
