Today I’m going to focus on one fashion website that has
been able to garner a ton of readers since it’s creation and is solely a
product from the web, for web users, and born on the web: Refinery 29. Have you
heard of this website? I’m sure many of you have a frequent it daily, while
others are just hearing it for the first time.
But for those of you who may not be so familiar, this website
is dedicated to giving you fashion readers the BEST, most up-to-date fashion
news stories ranging from new designers collections, new store openings,
bloggers, and everything and everyone in between.
Further—Refinery 29 creates TONS of their own original
fashion content spotlighting street style snaps from around the world, bringing
you behind-the-scenes slideshows of coveted fashion offices, curating interviews
with major fashion influencers, and much much more.
What’s also great about Refinery 29 is that they have
different versions of the site for specific u.s. cities and relate their
content to that specific city. For example, the website has branched out and
tailored their website to fit the clientele of people living in not only Los
Angeles and New York, but Chicago, San Francisco, Washington D.C., and Miami.
Other reasons why I love this site is the clean, crisp user
friendly interface making every visit quick and snappy if I just want a short
rundown in the a.m. or if I have some more time to kill, I can breeze through 10+
stories as they aren’t long, dense Vanity
Fair articles or anything of the sort.
Rather, the stories are usually 10 pictures in a slideshow
with the headline “10 Quick Accessories to Spice Up Your Fall Wardrobe.” The
stories range from fashion specific stories to beauty, living, and
entertainment stories as well.
Take today’s webpage for example, the top stories feature
headlines like “Update Your Weekday Wardrobe With These Sweet Skirts, ” or “A Quick & Sexy MakeupLook To Power You Through The Holidays” or “Elle Fanning Goes Back To PilgrimChic…And Is A True Pioneer.”
It’s pretty amazing how the online world has changed the capacity
of sharing fashion content and news to an almost limitless degree. If you think
about it, before— print publications used to be the sole resource for fashion
content, but nowadays, anyone can start up their blog or website and become a
leading competitor among these fashion resources and actually make a pretty
penny from it *ahem ads galore anyone?
Nonetheless, I’m happy about Refinfery 29 and the plethora of
other fashion websites out there that cater to all of my fashion needs.
I hope you do the same and explore the limitless options of
fashion news websites out there and find one you particular like, and subscribe
to it! It’s nice getting daily doses of fashion news straight to your inbox as
opposed to waiting until your monthly edition of Vogue, Elle, Nylon, or insert fashion magazine name here.
Happy reading you all!
