Rumi Nelly

Such differences may be due to the fact that this woman is not in fact a model—originally, at least. Her name is Rumi Neely, blogger at Fashiontoast.com. Though she may seem like an ordinary model to the casual observer—the Internet fashion celebrity is signed with Next Models, a prominent modeling agency—most models don’t have blogs that receive over 100 comments for each post, design for major apparel companies, or sit front row at every fashion show. Additionally, the dress that Neely wore for the presentation was inspired by her, and thus named the Rumi dress. Neely is an example of how New York Fashion Week has begun to embrace the democratization and mass appeal of the fashion industry. As a blogger, she is an “outsider” to the industry, but she wields unprecedented influence due to her presence online.
