shopping safaris in NYC! Check out their site:
FashionJunkie and let us know what you think!
Here's a Q&A with Fasion Junkie founder,
Dara Fleischer (also a featured BrandHabit member):
Q: What one word best describes your website?
A: Fun, informative, and of course, fashionable. Sorry… it was tough to narrow it down to one word ;-)
Q: What three words best describes your customer?
A: Confident, worldly and aware (of fashion trends).
Q: What makes your website different from the rest?
A: For starters, the eye-catching, ‘80’s-infused design. FashionJunkie.com (FJ) – an online style source for “serial shoppers,” offers visitors my unique perspective on the latest fashion and beauty buzz. As the Founder and Editor of the site, I write and produce all the content – from the FashionJunkie Fix email newsletters, to the Re-Tales Blog to the Shopping Safari guides, all of which are written in a witty, me-to-you tone that (I hope!) engages the reader. Plus, as a seasoned fashion and beauty editor (prior to re-launching FashionJunkie in May ‘07, I worked in publishing at In Style Magazine and LOULOU Magazine), I’m privy to “insider” information such as new product launches, sample sales and store openings before anyone else.
Q: Name one person you would love to dress:
A: Funny you should ask. FashionJunkie.com’s mission is to make the world a better-dressed place, one person at a time. It’s for this reason that I personally chaperone clients on tailor-made group and private NYC-based shopping tours. If you have a fashion emergency you need to fix, feel free to drop me a line at contact@fashionjunkie.com
Q: What article of clothing have you kept forever and why?
A: My wedding dress because I can’t bare the thought of giving it away… unless it’s for my own daughter, of course. I had the dress custom-made at Les Noces De Couture – a beautiful dress shop in Montreal, my place of birth.
Q: Finish the following sentence: In fashion, it is most important to be...
A: Yourself!
Q: If you did not pursue a retail career, what would you be doing?
A: It’s hard to imagine doing anything else. That said, I’ve always wanted to be a chef. I love to cook and am addicted to the
Food Network TV show, Iron Chef.
Q: What is your current fashion fixation/fetish?
A: Funny you should ask. I’m still mourning the loss over a strapless Zac Posen
pouf dress that recently sold out on
Net-A-Porter.com I initially spotted the dress on the site back in April, but it was priced at a whopping $1,900, so I figured it would be best to wait ‘til they had a major sale. Clearly my head was in the clouds during the Memorial Day holiday, as the dress finally went on sale for 50% off! But… as luck would have it, I tuned-into net-A-Porter.com a few hours too late. If anyone happens to come across a size 2, can you please let me know?!
