Industrie No. 2 : Marc Jacobs by Patrick Demarchelier

[tigerrouge]

It's always interesting to read people's reactions, but in truly practical terms, how relevant are those opinions when the posters are fairly well removed from the magazine's target demographic?

Not that a publication couldn't benefit from recruiting new readers, but as an example, there wouldn't be much point in listening to me spout on about the personal irrelevance of Teen Vogue's contents when I'm about twenty years too old to be reading it. I certainly have the freedom to say something like that, but it wouldn't be worth processing as useful commercial information.

So we could easily get a situation where a number of people express a negative view of a magazine which hasn't been created with them in mind in the first place. It's no surprise they don't find anything of merit in it, and they get to say as much - but that doesn't necessarily mean the magazine isn't doing the job it's been designed to do.

I flipped through this today and Edita's ed looked great in print. And there is also another picture of a tFS comment in that article apart from a photo of BerlinRocks' post; so someone else can look forward to finding themselves in print (can't remember the user at this point)!

^ It's Chanelcouture09. You can't see his full user name, but his comment takes up almost a full A3 page.

oh my word, Edita looks sensational in that editorial. being that Miss Dior Cherie is already my favorite fragrance, this looks better than the actual ads they have now lol



...and to take the discussion about the TFS article to another thread I quoted the article Does TFS Community really influence the Fashion World so that this thread can focus on other aspects of this magazine.

lol that article is so bitter. as if those people are jealous online commentators get the luxury to say whatever they like about a collection, stylist, designer and editors while they have to settle for backroom disgruntled mumblings. if it wasn't for the internet nobody will give a damn about you 'insiders'.

This was certainly a blatantly negative article. The only positive thing about tFS was apparently that some irrelevant people with too much time on their hands scan magazines. Enchanting.

Professionals should use tFS as a research tool. As researchers their task is to weed out the disinteresting from the interesting. Frankly, I find it rather disappointing that James Anderson devotes so much space to the empty comments, especially the negative ones. It's just noise and it's the task of any intelligent person to ignore it.

The other point I have against his article is the one sided view on anonymity. He claims that a person cannot be challenged for his anonymous views on tFS but that is of course not the case - they can be challenged in that forum, but not in real life. Why would that not be enough?

Besides, the effect of anonymity might lead to important people in the fashion industry actually being able to say what they think instead of polite chatter. In general, one would think that the anonymity would lead to that WHAT is said is deemed important rather than WHO says it.

I suppose the latter idea is quite repugnant to some.

^I think that article just proves the "level" of that magazine ...
I imagine a Fashion Student writing it ...

I sincerely think the mods should write a "droit de réponse" ......
just saying ....

Just to compare two magazines who (are supposed to) talk about and to the professionals, have a look at The Exhibitionist (about and for curators) and Industrie ...
You'll see what a magazine who's adressing to the concerned Industry is about !
