Last night I had the privilege of attending the Style Coalition’s Digital Moda event organized by Inside the Tents bringing together the fashion, media and technology elite. How was it? Well, besides AWESOME I don’t know how else I could describe it.
What was really cool was the fact that while I expected most of the conversations to revolve around the runway and designers I don’t know about (come on—it’s true), I was surprised to hear that the fashion industry has a HUGE interest in technology and social media. Score! In some ways, a well made web site is just like a well made dress to them—you can pick out the imperfections, pick out what you need, pick out why it does and doesn’t work for your customer. It didn’t hurt that I was surrounded by gorgeous people while having these conversations as well. (Bonus of the fashion industry folks!)
I met a lot of great people last night including:
- My Twitter friends from Smashing Darling Maureen Puia & Trisha Ginter
- Someone I have been following for a while on Twitter and met for the first time Anna Sabino
- Damien Basile – He was the best dressed and very funny.
- Karelle Levy from Krelwear.com “She is kinda a big deal”
Special thanks to Mike Pratt and Jean Pratt from GiftGirl.com as well as the team at Inside the Tents. Lots of great stuff coming from that team and the fashion world coming together with social media.
