30-Second Fashion: The 50 key modes, garments, and designers, each explained in half a minute

by Rebecca Arnold (Consultant Editor)

The 50 key modes, garments, and designers, each explained in half a minute! Even if you’re not a regular follower of Suzy Bubble, Le Happy, or The Sartorialist, you probably have some feeling for fashion. Most people have a vague idea of what’s in, what’s out, and what they might consider putting on their own backs. Less familiar to most, however, is the way fashion works as a global business – a multi-billion-pound industry, employing over 27 million people – just who decides what’s cutting edge and what’s long past its sell-by date. 30-Second Fashion offers an engrossing crash course to how the style world works today, alongside an engaging look at the founding fathers (and mothers) of fashion who set it up that way.

it’s fine i guess? some bits were interesting, i skimmed parts, and overall it just felt too broad to really do much more than tell you a lot of things in rapid succession. a smidgeon of form without meaning

Repetitive, poorly edited and so limited as to be mostly useless. I have no idea who the target audience for this text is and I doubt the editor does either.

30 seconds is too short
