New Fashion Networking Site Emerges...

A new website has surfaced the creative industry and we want people like you to spread the good news and register, obviously!

What is NINETEEN74? Why should I register? What makes it unique?

Following the craze of networking and building online communities, it has never been more apparent that social networking will be an enduring part of everyday life. Founded in February 2008, NINETEEN74 is a new fashion utility. It will endeavour to marry like-minded people (e.g stylists, journalists, models, photographers, manufacturers, students) with the incentive of collaborating and exchanging ideas from other fashionistas in one click.

Although managed in the same manner as Facebook, Iqons and Myspace, it is nevertheless the first ever fashion networking site to encompass partnerships; users are showcased to push boundaries. The site essentially feeds on people's contribution- creating new fashion projects and events, uploading images and videos as well as submitting a blog.

So why not get involved and interact with the fashion world? You never know: it may be the answer to all your problems! It will make fashion networking effortless and trouble-free.
