The End.

The End @ FDIB (France)

Dear readers, friends and collaborators of all kind, as you may have guessed reading the title or seeing the visual we have chosen for today, this is going to be a rather special post in FDIB's history. First of all, we would like to thanks everyone who followed or took part in the incredible venture this project was for us during five years full of passion and dedication to what became our main activity through seasons: modeling and fashion in general.
This post isn't going to be the last one ever but certainly opens a new chapter for FDIB, the final chapter if we may say. The idea of our project coming to its end soon has been running wild in our minds these last few months and now that the decision has been made, we thought we owed you a few lines to clarify the situation. We are not going to leave fashion at all and can even say we're more into than ever, ready and excited to write a new page, to get involved in new projects and new collaborations. Such changes, of course, wouldn't make any sense without closing FDIB first as we both need time and energy to focus on our respective projects and as we both like things to be clear.
Thanks to everyone who helped and supported us through the years and made us able to turn what was initially a simple picture database into a real online newspaper on fashion, photography and modeling. Thanks again to all the people who gave us their warm and sincere feedback and spread the love around. Thanks to all agencies, photographers and other professionals who have supported this blog and contributed to its success. You were always fantastic and we both look forward to keeping working with you in our future projects. For any questions, suggestions feel free to contact us on our respective mail addresses (penelope@mariemaud.com and maud@mariemaud.com).
Last but not least, FDIB will only close in July of this year and will remain active till then, so for those who were saddened by today's news: you can cheer up thinking you've got two more months of FDIB ahead of you!

I'm incredibly sad you two are ending FBIB. :( But I guess all good things must come to an end. Thanks so much for running this place as long as you did and shining a light on new faces for all us model-obsessives out here. And good luck on all your future projects.
