'People come to us because they know they're not going to get a weak press release'
- September 14, 2010
Monthly unique visitors: 400,000Monthly page views: 4 million
Special issues: Fashionista 15, profiles of up and coming designers in New York (Sept.); school rankings (in 2010, Top Five Fashion Schools); Fashionista 50, the most powerful people in New York fashion (Feb. 2011).
