1. How do fashion editors get inspiration and do research for their editorial photo shoots? List at least 3 research methods.
Fashion photography is all about concept and story. One of the research methods is to create your own story and your own style, and then you apply a certain idea to a visual story that can all include in the photoshoot. Another way of the research methods is that the editor’s vision of fashion through a captured image, its iconic fashion images that you remember your memory a fashion really is fashion photography rather than the fashion itself. And also the research methods can be a mix of everything if it can be a pajama, white gloves, some unrelatable pose by different models.

3. One of the editors in the film says: “Fashion to me is a reflection of culture. It’s a report on the world.

I hope that it poses a question.” Give an example of a fashion editorial you saw in the film that you think expresses cultural or political commentary. Explain why you found this editorial compelling.
There are a fashion editorial in the film that said there is a grunge. One of the pictures that the model is wearing a pajama in the middle.

But it reflects that the subcultural at that time, the vogue is not afraid to show that “grunge” at that time to reflect the society at that time.
