FEATURED BLOG: RICKY JAMES

Author/Creater: RICKY JAMES FLYNN

Keep your eyes and ears on this up and coming stylist, Melbourne based fashion blogger, Ricky James Flynn. With his passion and love for style, Ricky James has made quite a name for himself in the fashion world with the help of his blog. Like many young and aspiring creatives trying to get their foot in the door in this industry, Ricky James needed an outlet to express his love of fashion and styling. His blog is a collective journal of his passage and growth through building his career as a stylist. Starting his styling career as an assistant to a top Melbourne based stylist in 2009, Ricky James has quickly jumped out of the shadows and into the fashion world in his own right, now being approached by many people in the industry to style shoots for them! How exciting!!!

"I find it a very satisfying body of work"

Updating his blog a few times a week, Ricky James knows what’s in and what’s out, what’s hot and what’s not, in both male and female couture. His cheeky writing style and boisterous charisma invites you to become a part of his world, keeping you updated with his day-to-day dramas as well as his future goals and ambitions. Not only do followers get to see the final polished and photo shopped images from the shoots, but we also get to, on occasion, see some raw behind the scenes footage – sneaky!

“The thing I love about styling, is the way you get to work with different themes, models, stories and fashions to produce something different ever time but still always on trend”

His simple layout containing lots of pictures and the fact that he is a male fashion blogger makes Ricky James Flynn very intriguing. Plus, RR love the fact that he is totally into big ring jewellery because we are too!

FEATURE BLOGGER! ELSIE KASSIS

FEATURED BLOG: DIARY OF A FASHION MUSE

Author/Creator: ELSIE KASSIS

Fashion Blogger Elsie sounds like the average 20 something fashionable female with a great sense of style – and this reflects in the way she writes her blog entries. She is smart, articulate, forward thinking and yet knows what a girl wants to know when she goes to “follow” a blog about fashion. It is her knack for being so right all the time that keeps her readers coming back for more.

When we asked Elsie to give us a brief bio of herself – she rattled off about 20 different skills and interests she has developed over her many years of loving fashion, and the Rayon Rebellion team believe that in order to stand out from a crowd of like-minded bloggers, these attributes will help her  do so.

She has been exposed to so many sides of the fashion industry since studying fashion design/production, such as manufacturing, styling, journalism, marketing, buying, fashion retail, visual merchandising, PR etc etc and has applied these skills to her passion for personal styling sessions.

“Fashion writing and styling are two of my greatest passions”

Updating her blog at least a few times a week, Elsie keeps her readers interested by adopting a unique way of communicating with her audience “I am accessible – not aloof “.

Self satisfaction is the greatest thing to have come from starting DOAFM, but her long term ambition is to still develop her blog in a way that is grows bigger and better with every post, and she will endeavour to always get her stories out there.

When asked a few nitty gritty questions about the ins and outs of starting a blog- Elsie’s words of advice were to “Just do it. If you have a passion for anything – and you love to write and would like to engage people, starting a blog is the perfect way of doing so. There is nothing hard about being a Fashion Blogger – it’s supposed to be fun, and it really is!”

She sources her inspiration from key websites such as wwd.com, models.com and style.com, which is important in staying current in the fashion blogging world.

We would like to congratulate Elsie on her successes with DOAFM and if you’re not already following her fabulous blog, head to http://diaryofafashionmuse.blogspot.com/ and get acquainted!
