The Telegraph Fashion Magazine Investigative Piece: "Slowly Does it"

The Fashion and Lifestyle piece I have chosen to analyze is an article from the Telegraph Fashion Magazine and is written by Tamsin Blanchard. The article investigates with depth at whether people are sacrificing quality for quantity regarding today's fashion. I enjoyed reading this specific piece because there is a number of interesting facts and she introduces her piece in a very original fashion: "And we are on fast forward when we are shopping too, buying clothes s though they are going out of fashion which they probably are, almost as fast as we can wear them." She has incorporated gripping quotes from high end designers such as Giorgio Armani. I also enjoyed the fact that she incorporated some of her own experience regarding the issue with sentences such as: "I have a black dress by Martin Margiela." She also compares the two sides: fast fashion and slow fashion. This article is a good fashion investigative piece because it concentrates on a specific issue but also introduces the season's trends. The piece is illustrated with a fashion spread which I believe makes it very unique and eye catching for the reader.
