Profile: Angela Reed – founder and CEO Bougie Magazine
6. How do you feel that the internet, social media and blogging has affected the fashion industry and where do you see it in the next 5-10 years?
I absolutely love it! Anybody who wants to get noticed can definitely do so thanks the Internet and social media. I also believe that the whole tech movement has caused the industry to be more creative! A new trend can be out of style in less than 24 hours because of the way we are able to relay information.
In the next 5-10 years I see EVERYTHING VIRTUAL we are quickly becoming a “microwave” generation we want things right now and what better way to get to but via the Internet.
7. What are some key tech trends that you see popping up in the fashion/blogging industries (as an example: do you think girls will start to get ready in the AM like Cher from Clueless with her digital outfit picker?
I see the virtual comp cards and runways taking the industry to a whole other level! Anybody possessing these tools has the ability to go on “go-sees” with the click of a button! These are 2 ads and services Bougie Magazine offers. I see it becoming more popular that designers are using software to aid in their initial design work as oppose to sketches by hand.
