I agree that fashion falls into a slightly different category (my mother was editor in chief of Harpers Bazaar and used to get an acre of "Christmas presents" that would have been illegal in any other business.) And I concede that there are conversations starting, but the notion that you measure success in terms of eyeballs rather than engagement is still flawed.

Hi Katie.
I read your comment on the PR Couture blog. But I'm afraind I must disagree with you in the the blogger doesn't get it.

I think that the word pitching has evolved into a bad word in the blogosphere. Isn't it really a broad term for introducing a product/idea to a person who may want to talk about it? Where do you think Fashion blogs get their ideas from? Strictly news feeds?

Fashion bloggers are approaced all the time, and willingly, they discuss products. Conversation can take place based on suggestions from PR people.

Please check out BudgetFashionista.com, BagSnob.com, and a plethora of other fashion blogs that get "pitched" AND start conversations due to product reviews.
