Fashion Journalism: Theory and Practice is an accessible, comprehensive guide to writing about fashion in any form, from style blogging through to magazine interviews to news reportage and exhibit reviews.
The book features a wide range of global fashion case studies, from Carmel Snow’s reporting on Dior’s ’New Look’ to 1970s responses to Yves Saint Laurent, and Diana Vreeland’s role as a fashion editor. Through a series of highly engaging exercises, students will learn how to find inspiration for their writing, carry out successful research, structure their work logically, develop their visual insights, use a style appropriate to their readership and to make the leap from merely descriptive writing to informed criticism.
This text will be essential reading for students of fashion, design, cultural, journalism and media studies.
