3. Fashion Journalism
Fashion journalism is a field that deals with the reporting and
publishing of fashion-related information across a number of
media outlets, such as fashion magazines, websites, and
television.
Fashion journalism involves researching and writing about the
latest fashion trends and styles.
Journalists get this information by working with stylists,
interviewing fashion designers, and attending fashion shows,
photoshoots, and events.
Substantial knowledge of fashion history is also a necessity to
properly view the progression of the fashion world, which can
show a journalist not just where fashion’s been, but where it
might be going.
Fashion journalism uniquely crosses boundaries, effectively
uniting areas of art and social culture under one umbrella
banner. As with any specialist journalist, the necessity is to be
first on the scene to identify, meet, report, interview, then distill,
craft, and write a story choosing words and meaning to bring
the moment to life.

Journalist
The world of fashion is ever-evolving, and working
within it requires a fashion writer who can keep up with
the newest styles and the latest trends.
Fashion journalists analyze how pop culture and current
events affect today’s fashion, as well as report
recent fashion news, notes from fashion critics, and any
relevant issues related to the fashion industry.
When they’re not writing or researching, journalists are
networking with others within the fashion business to
stay up to date on the latest styles and who is creating
them.
Journalists often get to travel and meet lots of people.
