Going to Reboot

Here is a short abstract for my presentation at the Reboot seminar in Copenhagen:

Craftblogging – A window into the Long Tail of Fashion?

In Europe and Japan, the trend against mass-produced fashion is growing. An increasing number of people prefer to buy their apparel from a designer someone has recommended, or one that they personally know. This presentation is about craftblogging - producing hand-made fashion items and publishing them on weblogs. Examples of how people produce, tag and share self-made fashion items on-line provide an opportunity to understand the potential of the Long Tail of Fashion.
