Fashion 2.0 :: Fashion Business Inc. Launches New Interactive Resource Blog
For those who are owners in the fashion industry, life just got a little sweeter.
Fashion Business Inc., also known as FBI, just launched a new, interactive blog last month with the idea that, no matter where you're located, if you're in the fashion business, you've got questions that need to be answered; some by experts, and others by your peers. This is such a fantastic idea! Create a pseud-social network, just for folks that are involved in the business end of the fashion industry. No sure how to find good suppliers? How about some ideas to get ready for a tradeshow? Just ask, and it will be answered.
FBI Resource Centers along with their website and their business partners offer up professional development, mentoring, and business and management training to owners of apparel businesses. Hosted by Randa Allen, the blog has a warm and witty personality to it.
FBI founder Frances Harder. "We want the blog to speak in a voice that is coming from someone who gets the up's and downs associated with this industry. "Since founding the FBI in 1999 it has become increasingly apparent that there is a real need for apparel business development. We receive an endless amount of emails from around the world, inquiring about where to go for help," says Harder. "The FBI has developed the right connections and consultants who are willing to give back and help answer these many inquiries. Many of our members have also walked the walk and can talk the talk to assist others," she explains.
If you're an owner in the apparel industry, it would behoove you to head over to the FBI blog and check it out. Don't pass up the opportunity to get your hands on loads of free advice - and maybe even give some too!

I think the FBI blog is one of the better fashion industry blogs around. However, I rarely see any posts because they don't seem to have a RSS feed. If you're going to blog - add a feed!
I guess I'm wrong. I just added the blog URL to my reader and the subscription was added.
