Everyone is buzzing about fashion's latest must have accessory: SOCIAL MEDIA! On Wednesday, February 10, 2010, Style Coalition and ideeli held a reception to announce the winners of the Fashion 2.0 Social Media Awards.

Nominated by industry peers, the “Fashion 2.0 Social Media Awards” recognize best-in-class members of the online fashion community for their outstanding achievements and innovative communication strategies across a variety of social media channels, networks and blogs.

The event was held at the W Hotel's Cherry Lounge and despite the winter wonderland outside, the guest showed up looking hot and were ready to party.
