Deborah Harry is a music and fashion icon. I’m always interested in fashion’s relationship to design, and the ways in which fashion’s significance–like design–goes well beyond (and around) haute couture runway shows. What has made The Sartorialist blog so popular is his combination of high and low settings–pedestrians on the street vs professionals on the street en route to a fashion show.

Blogs have worked to further democratize fashion, offering people less expensive targets for their fashion fetish pleasure. Vogue is an industry standard, but what about independent fashion bloggers, like The Coveted? Fashion, too, deals with minimalism and maximalism, form, and color. And like design, good fashion is made of unlikely solutions–things you wouldn’t have thought to put together, but once someone else does, you think Of course!
