As Garance Doré and Revolution street style fashion head with a camera and a blog

There was a time when you want to know what was in style or what to wear for the next season, GQ, Esquire and Harper's Bazaar open. She went to a cool business or in luxury catalogs flipped. The content of this glossy pages and stores was determined by a select group of buyers, editors and photographers. They went to fashion shows twice a year in New York and Europe to decide what you want and what you could buy. They chose everything for you.

Sounds like Meryl Streep's monologue in The Devil Wears Prada? It is more or less. The film was released in 2006, shortly before Garance Doré a digital camera from these parades pictures was took what he saw, and wrote on his blog of the same name. Over the next decade Dor create the template for what is known as blogs, street style, the world of haute couture, to go to the masses and finally to tear the world of fashion is very useful. "It has quality blogs created" explains Yvan Rodic, a blogger known as Face Hunter colleagues. "It was the beginning."

Quality blogs established. It was the beginning. Yvan Rodic

This week, as models the catwalk in Paris Stengel, Dor celebrating the 10th anniversary of garancedore.com and its emergence as one of the highest profile styles referee in digital (and real) world. It's hard to believe that they added a camera, because he felt bad for her wardrobe. An illustrator training a blog in 2006, started to present their work, Garance moved to Paris from Marseille in 2007 and underwent a rude awakening dress. "I'm probably one of the most stylish girl Marseille, but I came to Paris, and I am the least. It was a mess!" She said with a smile. "And then one day I decided to document the style and more about them."

She started women whose style he admired photographed. "I saw all these cool girls," says Dor. After permission to ask to take their photo, throwing pictures on his blog with stories of dreams about the look and the attitude of the women posting. He also has the things I published brands loved to enjoy readers Promoting beauty and design, without having to worry about price tags four and five digits. In a few months, "the blog in France has become very popular," she said, not only with the readers. She remembers how they would bring brands and shops, Oh, shit, Garanceyou spoke of these pants and sold us on the same day! "

Ten years Streetstyle

In September 2008, Dor decided "to continue the energy" and flew for Fashion Week to New York what it calls personal research. "I am very interested in the American sense of style," she said. When he from the squares fashion types rose to the shows flow to photograph, he met a handful Schützenstraße style as Rodic and Scott Schuman, who was from The Sartorialist. "There were so many people shooting," Rodic said. "Blogging was not one thing. The people were very surprised outside a fashion show to be photographed."

It was during this time that I met for the first time Dor. She was a shy girl who asked French if he could take my picture between shows. I wanted an apple and shoes with light pink sweater. She liked that I had an apple. ( "I remember exactly the image that I have of you," he said eight years later. "How did you feel.") The "Pink Apple" picture called, and is the focus, the feelings Dor helped distinguish , His contemporaries (at the time, all men) favors largely a photojournalistic style. Dor was a storyteller. She was connected to the French blogs in time "that it was all about his agenda" more, he said.

Paul Martineau, a conservative image in the Getty Museum, writes the Dores success with this approach. "What surprises me is that not too self-conscious Garances his work," he said. "Very fresh, natural and easy it is to feel. And I think people are familiar with these images. They think that this clothing could bring, and be there."

Dor knew Photoshop and learned HTML, which helped to improve the site. "Remember, the images were good start small? My blog has always looked better. It was so easy!" WordPress was, and remains, its platform. Dor has also made sure to publish a blog in English and French. (This requires a translator daily, almost in real time.) This is exposed to a much wider audience. His real power determination, but insists that comments meet on the website of both languages ​​in the same place. "For me," he said, "blogs really was at the time about people who lead a real conversation."

The conversation was not something that can offer the fashion industry. Magazine worked up and down. (See:. Devil Wears Prada) Similarly made communication between designers and their clients. Of course, can agree the customers with their wallet, but that was so far down the line, and therefore slow and expensive.

Street style blogs, the first media have then really expanded social before the influence of fashion magazines. Scott Schuman

In Internet Dor has learned one vote is to have free. "Then greatly expanded social sphere street style blogs, the first and the media have past influence fashion magazines, says Schuman, who has become Dors companion for several years. At that time it was really easy fashion magazines and the people actually just talked to Vogue and Harper's Bazaar . But after that it really stands out., and has many different voices and many other people had that the public was interested in you. yes, where before you a few voices now has many, many, many voices ".

Soon larger Dor and his colleagues estimated Blogger Street Style Magazine, as they were followers in business for decades. The leading fashion houses have made the calculation. In some seasons outside of the biggest fashion show these foreigners moved in the front row, shoulder to shoulder with, and replaced in some cases, Fashion Royalty their styles are available admired and caught in the street. Dor, daughter of fan with his digital camera was the means.

The total number of loyal readers and the rapid growth followed him everywhere, through tweets, Facebook updates and blog. "I do not know in duplicate content to believe," said its various platforms. "They are all coordinated with each other, but they tell different stories." Fashion houses built on the faithful. Finally, designers and retailers paid for access to public Dors, and her fellow bloggers. Compared to an ad in Vogue, agreed Blogger. Moreover, the connection with your readers was much more bloggers pioneering style created an entirely new direct, personal, immediate and effective at the beginning of the space conversions. Dor and its streets, readers have access to the world of haute couture and convert an exclusive experience in a wide access closed.

This does not come without cost. If Dor and his contemporaries, have left the door open to other digital platforms open as Instagram influencers blew the door off its hinges. "Instagram has revolutionized the way to meet new Stars and create new forces," he said. "Much of it is real, many of them it is not."

In case of extreme fluctuations in the quality, content and motivation ", the double-edged sword for photographers such as Dor," Martineau said. "It's all open to almost all, so as to distinguish the hundreds of thousands of images every day? His democratic arise, but it is difficult to have a permanent attention.

But here it is Dor, celebrates 10 years. A study with 10 employees, a photographer now used to spread their work across multiple platforms. She is working on her second book, about the well - being, and welcomes Podcast - Serie Pardon my French.

"It's a good time," he said, "to have a stronger voice than ever before."
