I was researching fashion advertising last night and ran across what I think is a REALLY cool site, both for fashion advertising samples and fashion designing inspiration. The site is:
Fashion Ad Resource: http://www.fashionadresource.com/
Here’s what I think is great about the site:
- You can view past advertisements by designer brand or by type.
- She has a great section on magazines - which preview images from the decades of the last century.
- You can zoom in on the images twice, so you can actually see them!
Her homepage has her bio, so you can read a bit about her by clicking on the link above.
Enjoy!

Where did Amber go? It’s been a crazy time in my business-owner life since I last posted. We had a fabulous celebrity gifting event in January. I will do a post soon on what a difference our “spinning cake” display made for exposure during that event. (You can see the display cake pretty good in the photo to the right, follow the link above to view more celebrity photos).
I did a great follow-up job of coming home and writing up a press release. I even stayed up late to perfect it and get a bunch of images together to send to one big-traffic site. I got that sent and it paid off. We were featured the next morning.
Then I tweaked it a little for the other media outlets, put my computer on stand-by and never saw its happy face again. That was it, my computer crashed completely. I did an ok job of backups, except for my emails and email lists. Oh what a mistake that was - what a nightmare it has been catching up.
Get an external hard drive and set up automatic scheduled backups for all of your files. That’s my big duh-I-should-have-already-known-that lesson for the day. And I wanted to say I’m back and I really have a lot of posts coming up to share about press releases, affiliate programs, preparing for the next cash-and-carry events, creating a “wow” display, and all sorts of other things I’ve learned since the great crash of ‘08.
