Fashion bloggers Bryanboy and Susie Bubble aren’t happy aboutVogue.com editors’ candid dissection of influencers and their paid-for street style during Milan Fashion Week.
The editors―Sally Singer, Nicole Phelps, Alessandra Codinha, and Sarah Mower―wrote about their experiences and fave collections so far during MFW. But that also didn’t stop them from criticizing the bloggers wearing “borrowed” and endorsed clothes from designers.
To give you an idea, Sally writes: “Note to bloggers who change head-to-toe, paid-to-wear outfits every hour: Please stop. Find another business. You are heralding the death of style.”
Alessandra also writes: “I hate to think that soon people will wise up to how particularly gross the whole practice of paid appearances and borrowed outfits looks. Looking for style among a bought-and-paid-for (‘blogged out?’) front row is like going to a strip club looking for romance.Sure, it’s all kind of in the same ballpark, but it’s not even close to the real thing.”
Meanwhile, Bryanboy and Susie―who we spotted for our MFW street style report recently―took to Twitter to air their thoughts on Vogue.com’s piece and called it a case of “bullying.”
While we think that bloggers and social media influencers shouldn’t be the main focus of fashion week, these comments seem a bit too harsh.
As of writing, Vogue.com’s editors have not responded to Bryanboy and Susie.
