This week is an interview with Arron Thomas, he has a fashion blog which focuses on men's fashion, his blog features style interviews and is an up to date source for what is out there right now in men's fashion! It was really interesting to get these questions answered by a blogger and seeing it from another blogger's point of view.Have you always wanted to be apart of the Fashion Industry? and why?
No i was going to become a doctor but it requires so much studying and no social life and then I discovered Andy Warhol for the first time and it all started from there and then I watched the hills and was like 'this is the job i want to be in' and then my love for fashion grew stronger and now it's a part of me.
Why did you start a blog?
I felt like there were a lot of womenswear blogs but not enough menswear, Womenswear used to get a lot more spotlight and focus on and I felt like menswear didn't get the same so I decided to start the blog up for that reason.
What is your biggest highlight from your blog so far?
Literally last week my friend who is a celebrity stylist in LA and is the editor of Bello Magazine asked me to do an article for them for their September issue.
Any tips for aspiring blogger's?
Write your own material, you wont get noticed or taken seriously if you copy and paste someone else's work. All blogs should be different to some stage otherwise people will get bored as everyone wants to see something new and refreshing.
What are your personal favourite fashion blog's?
I look on a lot of personal style blogs such as http://maxwwestin.blogspot.co.uk/ and Christoph who is an amazing photographer - http://www.christophwho.com
Is there anything you wish you knew when you started that you now know?
I used to complain my blog didn't get enough exposure and now I have PR companies emailing to review their brands and write articles for them.
What are your plans for the future?
Future wise for the blog I want to make it into a full on brand, I'm in the process of designing a new website and removing menlovefashion and giving birth to Homme Paradise which will in time be an online magazine if it all goes well and I'm also in the process of sketching designs for a future menswear line.
Describe the Fashion Industry in 3 words
Bitchy, Creative, Competitive (People will always screw you over to get anywhere)
