Iqons.com

Speaking of Sandra Backlund, over at Iqons.com her portfolio was just chosen as one of the best by Walter Van Beirendonck, the fashion designer from Antwerp. Iqons.com is a new networking sight like Myspace, but for those in the fashion industry. Meant to equalize the playing field and get emerging designers and professionals noticed, the site was founded by Suran Goonatilake and Rafael Jimenez, two entrepeneurial partners in the fashion industry. The official Iqon mentor is none other than Diane Pernet, of the established fashion blog A Shaded View on Fashion.
