Personal blogs on the business of fashion?

[evelyn]

It seems like there are an overwhelming number of fashion blogs, as well as a lot of career guides, but I'm not finding many personal blogs about the business side of fashion.

I am planning a career as a fashion buyer (attending Parsons next year... deferred admission, long depressing story), but before I take the plunge I'd love to read some personal accounts of this sort of career. Blogs about work in fashion marketing, PR, merchandising, publishing, etc. also welcome.

Again, not looking for "how to" information as much as personal stories. Thanks everyone!

Not sure of personal accounts, but Business of Fashion is a good way to keep tabs on the industry.

These threads might have some members posting here, who are buyers (and merchandisers, who are closely related) and who talk a bit about what they do in the threads. Plus, they might have a blog in their signature line. You'll have to read through the entire thread to find the right members .... but you should find the threads helpful, anyway. And I've added threads about the other professions you mentioned, all which may have members who are in those professions ... you just have to do a lot of reading to identify them.
