#4 New York Times Fashion Blog Review

     Cathy Horyn is the main fashion critic for The New York Times and has been since 1999. Her entries are posted on the "On the Runway" section of the times, and she's all about being completely honest of her opinions, no matter how brutal they are. She pays a lot of attention to detail and style when reviewing a particular show and freely comments on her feelings toward the collection, which I find rather important and sometimes amusing. I hate when I see people review collections and all they do is talk about how delightful they are and how original and creative the designers are. Let's all be honest for a second now... Some collections flop! Some designers send creations down the runway that look like a drawing given to me by my 4 year old cousin! Its cute when the little ones do it, but just disappointing when a designer does it. Ms. Horyn won't hold back if she thinks your collection looks stupid, which is why i find her posts so credible and fantastic.
