Wow! New social media is even effecting New York's Fashion Week!
I ran across an article earlier this afternoon titled "Fashion Week: Social Media Changes Event Coverage." It was a brief press release that proved that changes in fashion trends were not the only differences in Fashion Week this year. This press release focused on how social media effected the biggest week in fashion.
The article focused on how social media forms such as twitter and various blogging sites has converted the internationally renown event from an a series of events for insiders to a live global spectacular for consumers.
Blogging actually turned into a competition to see who could upload the best pictures and capture the best story. New York Fasion Week even encouraged crowdsourcing this year. They wanted fans to upload pictures of their favorite fashions.
It is incredible to see how social media is affecting this once very private and exclusive event. Now, anyone can get a glimpse of fashion week through youtube, facebook and twitter. This is an exciting time for social media and I am looking forward to seeing how social media continues to change events such as Fashion Week.
