Non-existent a handful of years ago, the entirely new occupation of “Fashion Blogger” is now the dream job of young women from New York to Shanghai to Lagos and back. For bright young Millennials, the model/actress gig seems so 20th century – let’s not even talk about the “trophy wife” role. However, that hasn’t made […]
