I also had a chance to interview the creator of this fashionably fabulous blog, Ms. Tia Walker for my TV Show Cognac’s Corner.
Cognac: Tell my audience how you came up with the concept and the name?
Tia Walker: Basically I was going to Fashion Week here in New York and I wasn’t going to quite everything that I thought I should be going to. I wanted to go to more shows officially so I started it as a quest. Now everything about my blog and my quest has changed a lot. It used to be about my quest to get to the A-list and to get to the wonderful parties and the lifestyle that everybody wants. I pretty much have everything I want so now the Quest for “It” has changed. It’s whatever you want it to be. It could be a quest to lose weight, It could be a quest to make more money or it can be a quest to find yourself. I think it’s a lot more than getting to the A-list. It’s whatever you want it to be.
After nearly four years as CEO & Founder of Sfumato Artist Management, a DJ Booking Company that formed in 2001, Tia Walker decided to embark on her latest project The Quest for “It” — a blog that offers select chronicles of an upscale chic urban lifestyle.
