Online Magazine MykroMag Pushes Things Forward

Online magazine MykroMag caught our eye recently--it popped up on Jak & Jil blog and Topshop's blog earlier this week and a while back on Style Bubble. The online-only, black and white mag contains interviews with industry figures along with fashion illustration and photo editorial as well. In the editor's letter, Sonny Groo (aka Abdul Lagerfeld), wrote that MykroMag was "eye catching without screaming for attention"--which is an apt description for the first issue.

Barbara Hulanicki Of Biba Fame To Launch Topshop Collab Next Week

If you haven't already caught wind, Biba founder Barbara Hulanicki is poised to launch a capsule collection with Topshop next week. The range will debut in the New York and London stores as well as online this April 28th. Our Network Partner, Style Bubble, wrote on her visit to the showroom to see the collection as did our sister site, Fabsugar UK. The strong shoulders, wild leopard-like prints and whimsical dresses are perfectly curated in this collection. The most expensive piece, the suede jacket shown at left, will retail for around $200. If suede is what you're after, Topshop has been doing a lot of that this season, most notably by way of suede leggings which go for around $510. Regardless, we're sure all of the Barbara Hulanicki pieces will fly off the shelves.

fashionologie — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 17:42:41 PDT

>> Streetstyle photographers Garance Dore, Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist, and Tommy Ton of Jak & Jil have all turned their blogs into further industry opportunities - Garance now shoots editorials for the likes of Glamour Italy and guest blogs for Vogue.fr, Scott has photographed two seasons worth of DKNY Jeans campaigns and has a compilation book coming out in September, and Tommy did the Spring 2009 Lane Crawford campaign. And style blogger Susanna Lau's time on Style Bubble allowed her to transition from digital media planner at an ad agency to commissing editor of Dazed & Confused's DazedDigital.com.

In the past week or so, a handful of other fashion bloggers have seen their blog time become currency for further opportunities: Yvan Rodic of Facehunter just announced a compilation book of his streetstyle photography is coming out in early 2010. Julia Frakes of BunnyBisous and Paper's Fashion Schmasion is doing some lookbook time - first in Rachel Antonoff's Fall 2009 set and yesterday, she apparently shot the Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony lookbook, complete with '90s hair; the last round of which Chloe starred in herself. And finally, Rumi Neely of Fashion Toast just signed with Next, is appearing in RVCA's campaign, and has further upcoming editorials and styling work already in the pipeline.
