About
Independent Fashion Bloggers (IFB) cultivates a community for fashion bloggers to share their experiences and create a resource so everyone can build a better blog. We do this by posting helpful articles, host a community linking group, forums and our newest feature, LittleBirdie, a platform to connect bloggers and PR in a safe an mutually beneficial way.
Here are some of IFB’s current services for our community
- The IFB Social Network – Find other bloggers in your niche, city, country or just find other like-minded fashion bloggers to share your content with. The IFB social platform gives you a place to ask questions, get answers, as well as set up events and promote your blog.
- Links a la Mode – a weekly round-up where bloggers submit their top posts for consideration. Approximately 20 stories are selected each week. This has been a huge traffic and SEO driver for participants.
- Weekly member e-newsletter – features a blogger spotlight, highlights from the forums and Links a la Mode. This is how IFB became monetized (through a sponsorship with Gilt).
- Fashion Week Dress Up Soirees in New York and London earlier this year – over 100 bloggers at each event – prizes donated from independent designers to consumer tech companies like HP and T-Mobile. Modepass sponsored the NYFW event.
- Little Birdie – a query service where bloggers submit story interests and the information is sent to subscribers every week via e-newsletters (generally PR and independent fashion companies). To date there are over 300 subscribers and there are around 70 blogger submissions per week.
If you have a fashion blog, you can join IFB by registering here.
Founded in September 2007…
IFB had very humble beginnings when started by Jennine Tamm, of The Coveted. Like many of you, she started out blogging as a hobby and found the process of blog monetization overwhelming due to the abundance of choices on the internet, and most problogging sites are geared for tech blogs. It was hard to gage which ad networks were the best, and which ones had room for improvement.
Currently, The Coveted is a monetized blog, Jennine is still learning what works and what is just work, that’s why it’s important to create a community of shared knowledge, that way we all have a better blogging experience
If you're a fashion blogger, we'd love for you to join our community join IFB

Hello,
An inspiration you are to fashion bloggers alike.
I was wondering whether you would be interested in sharing with your bloggers about the IT’S:MY:TIME competition, that Benetton are running at the moment. I think it could be of interest to your visitors. I’m messaging on behalf of Benetton’s ‘IT’S:MY:TIME’ global casting competition. We are looking to find twenty creative individuals who could be the next face of Benetton.
Please let me know if you’re able to share this information, or if you are happy for us to leave a posting on your blog pages directly. Or, if you’ve got any questions, I’m happy to answer them.
Thank you
Kathryn
