About
Confessions of a Fashion Editor (COAFE) was created by Lipstick Royalty Magazine's fashion editor Amy Claire Thompson in response to an article in teenVogue about the fashion editors of the future.
The author was angered by the fact that "rich kid" fashion bloggers were being described as "fashion's future", whereas young people like herself were not, despite the work, time and effort they were already putting in to the advancement of their careers.
Since beginning, COAFE has grown from just an angry teen-fashion blog into a lifestyle and arts blog, with the author announcing in October 2009 that she no longer wished to be seen as just a fashion blogger. See post here
