Dear Mrs. Eshelman
I believe that this project displays my interviewing skills as my quotes are directly related to my reviews. My understanding of newsworthiness is shown in how all my reviews are based on current events that people are focused on currently. My project demonstrates my reporting skills because I was able to find information and explain it effectively. My project also shows my understanding of ethics as I was careful about providing information on 'The Era's Tour' when I haven't been to it. In all I believe I worked very hard on this project and that it demonstrates all qualities of writing.
Best,
Gianna Bottiglio
La Vacanza by Dua Lipa and Donatella Versace
La Vacanza is Versace’s new Summer collection by Donatella Versace and Dua Lipa. The clothes are inspired by hope, faith and transformation by having butterflies featured in some of the clothes and jewelry. I love this collection. I think that Versace has been missing something for a couple of years now, this collection was bright, fun and made me love Versace again. The show had many notable models, including Natasha Poly, this show being her first in 5 years.
“I think this show brought a lot of talk about Versace, and the fact that it was co-made by Dua Lipa. This was all very smart of the brand.” Emily McDermottroe, BHS freshman said.
I’ve seen people on various social media platforms talk about different aspects of this collection, in a way that it hasn’t been talked about before. I believe that this collection brought back a lot of fans and hype. In all this collection was great.
Era’s Tour Review
Taylor Swifts ‘The Era’s Tour’ has been a huge topic for many months now. A lot of the talk has been about how much the tickets are. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Taylor Swift tickets are going for $1,300 on average on stub hub. So why are tickets selling for so much? What’s so special about this tour? I’ve been able to watch Taylor’s tour on DVD for the 1989 world tour which averaged $392 a ticket according to Forbes, I’ve also been able to see ‘The Era’s Tour’ through livestreams on social media platforms such as TikTok. From what I’ve seen the tour was no more special than her previous ones.
“I had a ton of fun at the tour, even though I feel like other tours have been more creative, she performs for such a long time and does so many songs, so it’s all worth it.” Kaylie Graham, BHS freshman said.
The tour goes for over 3 hours, and the set list contains 44 songs. So maybe that’s what makes people really want to go. In conclusion ‘The Era’s Tour’ might not be her best tour, creative wise, but Taylor Swift's amazing work ethic makes up for what the tour is lacking.
The Victoria Secret Fashion show Comeback
The news has come out that after 4 years the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is finally making a comeback. The show has had multiple controversies leading up to the cancellation of the show, and even after. The reason for the cancellation was the lack of inclusivity and diversity on the runway according to Fashion Magazine. A couple years after the show was canceled, musician Jax released a song titled “Victoria’s Secret” which called out how the brand made her feel about herself, one lyric being “I know Victoria’s Secret and girl you wouldn’t believe she’s an old man who lives in Ohio.”. The song peaked at 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ever since then Victoria’s Secret has been working on its brand, making plus sizes, showcasing plus sized models and toning down colors to be a little more neutral.
“I’m super excited for the comeback, the brand has changed and they’re even bringing Adriana Lima back!” Lilia Marquez, BHS freshman said.
I believe that Victoria Secret has made great efforts to change their brand. When they come back this fall with the show, the new addition of inclusivity will positively impact their brand. Overall, the brand has some damage to fix, but I believe it can be done.
