  1. I didn’t realize that there were so many cool and unique fashion artists. I’m a journalism major, but I would love to write about fashion. I love the fact that there is so many great fashion designers so close to me. I would love to write for one of the fashion shows. It’s hard to pick a favorite fashion line from this article. The lines I saw in this article aren’t “cookie cutter.” I love the fact that they are all so different and edgy.
