Bryan Grey-Yambao
aka BryanBoy is a fashion blogger from the Philippines who has taken the fashion
world by storm with his outrageous clothing choices, mixing men’s and women’s
fashions into an androgynous look that is all his own. His website bryanboy.com draws 200,000
visitors each day from 212 different countries
(teenvoguefashionuniversity.com). He has
been featured in both Vogue and Net-A-Porter as one of the most powerful
bloggers.

Bryan’s
first taste of front-row fashion came with the Spring 2010 Dolce & Gabbana
fashion show, which came with much controversy.
Three other bloggers joined BryanBoy; those being Tommy Ton, Scott
Schuman, and Garance Doré, whom were
all placed in the front row with their laptops, sitting inbetween such fashion heavyweights
as Anna Wintour, Hamish Bowles, Michael Roberts, and Suzy Menkes. This caused an uproar from some of the
fashion community but the truth is that these fashion bloggers are a huge
influential force that is here to stay.

He has been
labeled as one of Fashion 2.0’s biggest superstars up there with Tavi Gevinson
(Style Rookie), Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist), and Susie Bubble (Style
Bubble). He has become so popular that
Marc Jacobs went so far as to name one of his handbags the BB bag.
Bryan is
very good friends with fellow blogger, Rumi Neely of Fashiontoast, travelling
around the States shooting videos and photoshoots together, while collaborating
on fashion news. As of late, you can see
him on Season 19 of America’s Next Top Model as the social media correspondent.
“I give you
a 10 for effort… Love your passion for fashion, after all, where would
designers be without enthusiasm like yours?”
