Imagine you are a journalist covering a red carpet event in a century or design period of your choice.
Review all the guests who attend and do a reportage think Andre Leon Talley for Vogue for a magazine for example, or an important stylist preparing for a magazine article on a client.
Remember that this article targeted to a RELEVANT HISTORICAL ERA and audience imagine it is for one of the new periodicals of that period e.g. in the 19th and 20th centuries it would have been Godeys Ladys Book, Petersons, Harpers Bazaar, Vogue or Tatler. If there were no magazines in the period you choose, invent one!
You can choose contemporary celebrities, historical or fictional characters to decide what they are wearing etc.
Talk about fabrics, hair; make up, accessories and so on.
Do not forget to give a date i.e. are you writing about? E.g. Romans, Middle Ages, the Victorian period, later or prior?
Make it fun and interesting include images for photos,
Include as much terminology as possible!
Consider if the celebrities come from different countries etc. actual garment pieces as worn in different parts of Europe.
Are the garments worn, cheesy, bad taste, etc.?
