Every day, 30,000 people read what 26-year-old Susie Lau thinks about clothes. Every day, Susie Lau logs on to her blog, Style Bubble (stylebubble.typepad.com), photographs her outfit, raves about a new designer and inspires her international fanbase. She's one of the first bloggers to be recognised by the industry - she was one of only two bloggers invited to a Gucci show in New York, and has since accepted tickets to Chanel and Lanvin.
Lau, who lives in London, launched Style Bubble in 2006, and now posts three times a day. "I started to blog about everything I was passionate about, and about my own outfit experimentations," she says. But Lau is quick to insist that she's still a fashion outsider. "I'd never have made it as a designer," she claims.
She says her style is influenced by family holidays to Hong Kong, where "girls only dress to please themselves", by new designers who have battled their way through to the mainstream, and by fellow fashion bloggers, including a 14-year-old girl called Tavi who writes about Martin Margiela from her parents' house in rural America.
