FTV on YouTube

In a post of a few days back I lamented in passing the removal of Fashion TV from Sky Television.

Whilst browsing the Web for Fashion TV I came across links to YouTube and much to my delight they have a YouTube Channel. I can also subscribe to to be updated of any new content.  And thanks to the delights of Apple TV I can also watch the content on my Telly box not just on my Macs beautiful though they are.

To early to say whether a replacement for the TV channel itself – my broadband is with Orange and promises speeds up to 20 Megs but my internet connection is not without its time-outs and is far short of the robustness of a television broadcast but potentially a splendid alternative none the less and yet another installment in tv and the web converging into one.

Style App – feeling fashion first

This app takes pride of place on my iPhone.

I like the Style website as a great reference of past present and future fashion but much prefer the way the App allows me to access the sites newest content.

My first daily port of call is the Videos which list most recent catwalk shows first and work backwards through all collections of the last 12 or so months.

Next I head to the Fashion Shows divided into Latest and All which provide a photographic record of those collections on the runway.

I will sometimes stop by the Parties and the Style File Blog but my final visit is always the Look of the Day where I can cast my vote for my favourite look and then of equal interest see how my view compares with everyone else’s!

I don’t own an iPad – yet! – but it has its own version which Style content is easy to imagine lends itself even more with its larger screen.

When Fashion TV was pulled from the Sky Television schedule I was left with no regular video source of the latest designer collections – the Style App is not quite an FTV replacement but comes pretty close.
