With the advent of blogs and social media everyone is now free to express their opinions on fashion and fashion criticism.
What used to be the domain of select editors is now open to anyone with an opinion.
NYT discusses this growing trend for everyone to be an expert in a article in the style section.
Sometimes it seems as if the “experts” aren’t really qualified for their self appointed positions as the article points out at times, from over-the-top dress to mispronouncing certain terms. (i.e.- “rouging” instead of “rouching”).
The article also discusses another problem of the trade where one has to play into certain stereotypes by being either cutting and vitriolic or flamboyantly excessive.
