If you keep Preen boots on your ebay watch list, idolize Mme. Roitfeld, the French Vogue editor, hang out in charity shops and wear thrifted skirts upside down a la the Grey Gardens girls, IQONS is for you, babe.
It’s about the clothes, darling. Whether you shop from the Top, or find cast off gems at estate sales, IQONS will keep you connected with your fellow fashionistas. This fashion network, as is wont, looks pristine, edgy, and as cool as PVC leggings on a gaunt model’s calf. Of course it’s equipped with a happy gaggle of tools and features to suit the creative needs of all its members.

On your personal page you can also place snippets of your favorite catwalk songs, create your own showcase of works, and write up cute, witty blurbs about your fashion exploits. You’ve got your requisite profiles, where you’ll find out that most of IQONS denizens are models, photographers, stylists, bloggers and journalists—there are plenty of In folks to get all schmoozy with. The site also sponsors projects (a video clip about clothes, for instance) and a daily bit called 15 Minutes of Fame in which the spotlight is accorded to a different member each and every day. Sign up is free.
