Read a PDF copy of the book because I'm broke, and I'm so glad I did because I would've wasted at least three highlighters with this one.
It's a really good introductory book to the world of fashion journalism. As a student journalist, I'm also glad to see that the book gave basic knowledge when it comes to news and feature writing.
It also delved into the styling and photography part of the career. It talked a lot about the process of both writing and styling, including ways to connect with PRs, sourcing interviewees, protecting yourself from a libel case, etc. It also has a glossary in the end in which you can familiarize the words you may have forgotten while reading through the book.
Overall, 5/5.

So while I was searching for a couple of textbooks in my university library I stumbled across this little gem of non-fiction, and looking
This book is set out in chapters that as far as I can tell are set up in report form which makes them really easy to read. For example if you see the a subtitle about a topic you don't need to know about you can skip to the next one with out starting to read about it. I personally read the majority of topics unless I had already covered them in class. This book is definitely an eye opener into the word of Fashion Journalism, and there are plenty of extra reading lists at the end of each chapter if you want to know more which I found really useful and am going to make use of before I leave for the summer.
