Tim Blanks career started as an editor for a Toronto Fashion Magazine. He pitched for a show called : The Clothes Show?. When seeing the show, he realized his idea of the show was better than the reality.
He always wrote for a Music Magazine, and also freelanced as a writer in Toronto until offered his staff position for Fashion Writing.
He admits he knows a tiny bit about a huge number of things, and is known for being an excellent writer at Runway Show’s for Style.com.
One of his obsessions is Camille Rose Garcia ? La based nu-goth Artist.
He quotes in regards to ?The seductive Allure being easily regurgitatable press release : ?It’s easier to be funny and memorable when you’re being nasty. But I have a bit of a problem with spending five minutes dumping on someone who (one hopes) has put some heart and soul ? and at least a day or two ? in to what they do, even if it’s butt clenchingly dreadful. Do it by omission I say.?”
He admists to be an Apocalypsist. The way he works is on a very professional level for readers to not just ?fall in to fashion? and the hints of personal matters that many writers combine with what goes on around us, especially to tie fashion in with other designs, cities and events are avoided by him and instead given with humor. He likes to find out about people and things that relate to the fashion to write good stories, and likes to keep enthusiasm.
He doesn’t say his collective thinking in regards to writing and fashion is easy compared to how others make it ?complicated? and ?grand?, but he does keep a level of clarity, although fashion is amongst other topics complicated to write about, because we can only assume how the fashion is translated when only observed, therefore ? writing in regards to fashion settles the design and purpose.
Fashion comes and goes, and writers like Tim Blanks don’t assume the future of the next fashion, but pieces together the Runway show with the knowledge the world, and not only what the world of Fashion is aware of. Not many have the priviledge or skill to do so.
Fashion is when fantasy comes true in forms of possesion, where we can decide when to use it and when to throw it out, or use it again.
Tim Blanks keeps people aware of style and updates on these matters at Style.com and is a Host for fashion. One of the shows he hosted for is Fashion File where they covered Fashion Industry News.
