From the front row to street style, are bloggers becoming fashion's new power players? We ask Rumi Neely, Bryanboy, The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman and more to join the debate. This month’s edition of Net-A-Porter magazine has been taken over by a selection of bloggers

The big question asked was- How are bloggers changing fashion? It doesn’t take a genius to notice that over the years the front rows at fashion shows have been changing drastically. Bloggers like BryanBoy and Tavi are now sitting next to Anna Wintour (the equivalent of being perched on the throne with the Queen of England). Bloggers are also getting the chance to collaborate with their favorite designers (Andy from the Style Scrapbook and Kipling) and modelling in fashion campaigns (Denni of Chicmuse for American Apparel).

Now a days if a designer wants a hit season, he better make sure that the bloggers are on his side. Yay! here we go now, Fashvideo thinks that you should atleast follow the top 10 fashion blogs/bloggers:

1. Fashionista
