Fashion Reporting 101...
The most successful fashion editors and journalists must all share one thing in common: the ability to write clearly and creatively. Fashion is all about the visuals, so descriptive language is criticle. One master of fashion reporting is Cathy Horyn. Her ability to report what she sees at fashion shows create a precise and colorful image for her readers. Here, I have examined and broken down the language for her Lavin Paris article into silhouette & design, details, color, fabric, and creative "jargon". Enjoy the article!
Silhouette & Design:
- hourglass minidresses
- strong, round shapes
- little black dress
Details:
- fine jewels
- squiggly, white ruffles
Color:
- fresh, clear color
- chaste black
Fabric:
- furs
- cool, black leather
Creative "Jargon":
- over the top patterns
- real babes
- strong rather than syrupy and sweet
- whipped cream
