Daily style.com

Query any fashion diehard or industry professional these days for market pulse or design direction and undoubtedly the response is laced with some reference to style.com, fashionwiredaily.com or fashionwindows.com. A not so subtle shift is taking place among style followers in where they access to-the-minute industry news and trend information and the new source is just a click away. These far reaching online resources serving up daily flavor have become indispensable tools for studying, detecting, forecasting (and in some instances copying) the business of fashion: everyone sits front row at the collections, while design studios can confidently order yardage of that midnight blue satin at midnight, for instance — just approved as a key upcoming trend, minutes after the last model descended the runway in Paris. And you're armed with the history of your latest fashion craving without waiting 3 months for a magazine to hit your mailbox. Dare we say the inbox is the new mailbox?
