The reporter I will be following this semester is Vanessa Friedman, the fashion director and chief fashion critic for The New York Times. She leads global fashion coverage for both the New York Times and International New York Times. Her alma mater is Princeton University. She has previously worked for the Financial Times, InStyle UK, The Economist, and American Elle. She is also a contributor to Vogue, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair and Entertainment Weekly. I have chosen to follow her because fashion is something I have been very interested in since I was young. My dream is either to work in PR for a fashion or beauty conglomerate or to write for a fashion magazine. I have gleaned from her writing style that she has her own confident and distinctive voice and she is incredibly astute in her observations. I believe I can learn a lot from her commentary on the newest fashion trends.
