Watch: Do Bloggers Belong at Fashion Week? A tFS Roundtable Discussion [theFashionDish]

Today, we’re excited to share the first-ever installment of theFashionDish, a new original series from tFS. Last weekend, we brought together six fashion industry experts for dinner and a roundtable discussion recapping New York Fashion Week. In the coming weeks, we’ll be bringing you lots of short clips and a full 30-minute episode drawn from the rowdy, hilarious and informative conversation that ensued. 

Below, the panelists discuss the role of bloggers at Fashion Week, a critical subject this season in light of IMG‘s reported efforts to bring more exclusivity to Lincoln Center by inviting fewer fashion bloggers.
