District Couture: As Seen In...

I have been so fortunate to work with and meet other writers, blogger and rising stars in the online fashion world. Twitter has been an incredible resource to me and countless others.
Last month, I was asked to speak at Couture Expressions business and fasion event, where I gave advice to professional women about ways to work your office attire and spice the interview.

The event, hosted by Couture Expressions founder and creative director, LeAnn Harley, was a great success, as it promoted a local Washington D.C. non-profit, Success in Style. As a result, the Washington Afro-American newspaper cover it in their 'Sophistocated Settings' section:

Furthering the coverage, last week, I wrote a column about handbags and body fit - which for some, myself included, was a new concept. Luxury and lifestyle online magazine, Pursuitist featured it in one of their posts.
Through a Twitter connection, I was able to provide German fashion blog The Good, The Bad and The Divine with coverage of the Paris and Milan spring 2010 menswear collections. I chose to cover Prada and Japanese designer Junya Watanabe.
All of these outlets have been excellent exposure for me and I hope continue exploring my passion for writing and fashion. Though I don't typically use this blog as a personal forum, I do wish to express my appreciation to everyone who has visited District Couture or my DC Style Examiner column. I hope you find the information useful and entertaining.
Something I love about being an emerging style writer is the opportunity to highlight others work as they have been so kind to do for mine.
Thank you all!
With <3,
Marie
