Forget Facebook and Myspace (and Bebo and Linked in and Xing...) if you're a funky fashionista who wants to publicize your talent and break into the industry in a big way, you may find the best way forward is to apply for Project Runway sign up to the most fashion-forward social networking site on the net.

FashionSpace has over 20,000 members in 120 countries, and could mean to aspiring designers what Myspace used to mean to unsigned bands: a place to be discovered.

It was set up last October by 23 year old London fashion graduate Holly Bellm, and features photos of models wearing designs by fledgling fashionistas as well as ads for fashion shows featuring new designers' wares. The site can also be used to buy and swap clothes, and brands such as British lingerie chain La Senza have added corporate profiles to the site.

So if you want to mix with the famous designers of tomorrow, or show off your own designs to a worldwide audience, we suggest you sign up asap.
