Full Frontal Fashion Swag Bag Giveaway!

by

I loved the Habillees documentary on the Sundance Channel/Full Frontal Fashion programming, and was thrilled when three more came out shortly after — Dirty Denim , Catwalk Countdown and The Red Carpet Issue. It’s great that you can watch these (in sections) online, and really get the inside scoop on the fashion industry. In honor of the relaunch of the site, Full Frontal Fashion is celebrating by giving away swag bags – yay!! One lucky Fashion Pulse Daily reader will have the chance to win a bag, that includes:

A hat and eternity scarve from Pure Blanks (with the Sundance Logo)

Wrist warmers from Nirvanna Designs

An Ella Vickers bag, made out of recycled sails

Rules of Entry :

1) Sign up for the Fashion Pulse Daily Newsletter (if you’re not already a subscriber)

2) Post in the comments below your absolute favorite fashion film or documentary; for example, one of my favorite documentaries is ‘Valentino: The Last Emperor’ and ‘Great Gatsby’  (Ralph Lauren did the costumes) (for some inspiration – click here )

3) USA entrants only, one entrant per person, must be 18 or older.

Good luck!

Links à la Mode: The IFB Weekly Roundup

by

DIY NATION

Edited by Fashion Pulse Daily

It seems that across the board, there has been a resurgence in DIY, as we are very much living in a world of ‘Do it Yourself’ everything; ranging from creating or updating or garments’ silhouettes and decorative details to showcasing our own versions of runway looks, virtually styling with tools like Polyvore, tackling self-photography, and of course self-publishing via our blog platforms. We reign supreme in the DIY world on a daily basis, and I only see this trend gaining momentum. The roundup of this week’s links is definitely an indication, directly and indirectly, of the incredibly creative, innovative, persevering, motivated folks that are part of the new DIY frontier, and of course, IFB!

As expected, there was a fabulous round-up of links in the forum as well, all worthy of your eyeballs!
