The Sartorialists of Writing have mainly discussed writing in relation to fashion, but what about the role writing plays in fashion and the industry itself?Writing takes on many forms, whether it is to tell a fictional story or perhaps writing takes on an informational approach with the hopes of teaching an audience something new. Writing also plays an important role in fashion and how the concept of style gets out to the public. Magazines such as
Vogue and
Lucky share ideas and stories revolving the art of fashion to audiences all over the world all while practicing a stylistic approach to writing different among the rest. Writing for a fashion magazine takes, not only knowledge of the industry, but also the skill to write for the appropriate audience. Doing so may prove to be a task more difficult than finding ways to pair black with brown. As I flip through the most recent issue of
Lucky magazine I take notice a simplistic approach to writing. The style is approachable and comforting to the female ear, like a lunch date with one of your closest girlfriends.
The ease and flow of words allows the reader to lose track of reality and dive into a world created by colorfilled pages and eye-catching headings. This style of writing is one that can differ from the rest in that both technique and language are tailored to the female perspective in sight and in mind. Layout also plays a large role in how the magazine is read because, as you can find in typical fashion publications, you are not always reading pages filled with text, but more so with images. The text seems to wrap itself around the photographs to reveal the story through both words and images. Writing for a fashion magazine is creative, fun and thought-provoking. The style is all about having fun and being unique, whether it is being applied to fashion or the self. It's like reading a letter from your best friend.
