Wow. We just finished posting about the demise of Stylephile, and then we flicked over to Gawker and found out that the men's fashion industry newspaper DNR folded today. The bodies are piling high, people. The brother of WWD, DNR will be remembered for breaking news about men's designers first, parsing out the obscure language of the retail and manufacturing sectors of our industry for us math idiots, and generally keeping us in the loop. It is survived by its small cadre of readers and subscribers, analysts, and the many staffers who will soon be updating their resumes. We wish them all luck. (Gawker)
Sad news! So sad indeed that we cannot write it ourselves. To quote our beloved Caroline Ryder of Stylephile at Variety, "Along with Wall Street, WaMu and the city of Detroit, this esteemed lifestyle blog has fallen victim to the bananas collapse of the American economy." When will it end, people? When will it end? Well, godspeed Caroline, you will be missed—at least until you return to the fashion blog fold, which, we predict, will happen very soon. (Stylephile)
