This month we are introducing our Blog of the Month concept, and our inaugural blog is Indie Style File, written by the lovely Kim Bui.  Indie Style File is a fashion blog, covering indie fashion designers.  What’s an “indie fashion designer” you ask?  While indie originally was used to refer to films and music that were not attached financially to a big name studio, indie fashion has crept into the mainstream vocabulary to refer to independent designers working and making a name for themselves without the financing and safety net of a big designer brand name.  In this WalMart world, where huge conglomerates suck up small businesses like a vacuum picks up cat hair from my carpet, indie designers (and musicians and filmmakers for that matter) are a cherished breed.  I hope you will take some time to visit Indie Style File, subscribe to the feed, and think about supporting some of the millions of independent fashion designers in the world today. 

From the rest of the Beauty & Style channel, our takes on “indie:”

Metrostylemen thinks this small travel kit by ZIRH is simply ingenius and it won’t even take up space in your travel luggage.
