Madison Bissett Creates her own Fashion, Beauty, and Lifestyle Blog

After writing her first blog post on February 9 titled “Valentine’s Day Outfits,” Senior Madison Bissett began her journey to become a well-known blogger and gain traction in the fashion industry with her blog Madison Bissett. Bissett is a self-taught website creator and fashion connoisseur whose blog centers around showcasing outfits, recommending products, and sharing her lifestyle. As a result, she was approached by Achona Online for an interview.

A: Why did you start a blog, and what inspired you to do so?

B: “I was inspired to create a fashion blog because I am obsessed with all things fashion. I would scroll through Instagram and see influencers representing brands that I absolutely love, and I thought, “I would love to do that!” 

A: When did your passion for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle begin?

B: “I have loved fashion ever since I was a little girl. I have been drawing sketches and designs of clothes in my sketchbook for over ten years now, and it is truly my passion. I always have fun creating posts and content for my blog and Instagram account.”

A: How did you learn to create a website? Who/what helped you through this process?

B: “I actually created my website all on my own! I bought a domain online [the website name] and taught myself the whole process, which I am very proud of.”

A: What’s been the most challenging part about making a blog?

B: “The most challenging part of creating a blog is creating a following and getting big brands to notice you. I have gotten several brand deals already, but I definitely want to expand my collaboration with more in the future. So far, I have brand deals with small boutiques such as the Sunkissedcoconut and Mila Rae Boutique; some larger brand deals I have gotten are with Mr. Bubble and Fresco Case. I am also a part of a team called Influensters where I have been asked to represent makeup brands like Laura Mercier, Urban Decay, Smashbox, and Hourglass. Lastly, I have gotten attention from Scunci, Kendra Scott, Kitsch, and Kylie Skin, but I do not work in association with them yet.”

A: What do you hope to accomplish/what are some of your goals?

B: “Some things I hope to accomplish are working with bigger brands, gaining a bigger following, and one day creating my own fashion line.” 

A: Do you have any fashion/lifestyle bloggers you hope to emulate?

B: “The fashion blogger that really inspired me to create this blog was Caitlin Covington who owns Southern Curls & Pearls. I really love her content and am inspired by it everyday.”

A: What do you consider your “signature look?”

B: “My signature look definitely is dressy and classic. I love to dress up! I like to incorporate a pop of pink in most of my outfits. I would say my favorite type of look would be a chic dress, classic handbag, and a good pair of heels with some simple and dainty jewelry.”

A: As you are a senior, do you hope to study fashion in college?

B: “Next year I am planning to study advertising and take art classes. I also want to incorporate some fashion classes into my schedule.”
