By 2010, Fashionista had gained worldwide popularity in the fashion niche and revamped its website and logo (also moving it from Joomla to WordPress).[3] In 2010, Breaking Media raised a $1.3 million round of investment.[4]

In November 2013, Stephanie Trong and Lauren Indvik were named co-editors-in-chief of Fashionista, succeeding to Leah Chernikoff. In March 2014, Stephanie Trong stepped down, leaving Lauren Indvik the sole editor-in-chief of the website.[5] In April 2014, the website was moved from WordPress to SAY Media's content management and monetization platform Tempest.[6]
