here is a dirty little secret. there is no such thing as fashion journalism. it is all pr.

Everything?

pretty much, the best writing is done after the designers are retired, and there is distance. and the fashion is given its proper place in fashion history.
its just like the video game press, the movie and entertainment press, and media covering various other consumer products for consumers. the magazines-blogs-websites are just another part in a market communications strategy of brands and designers, they are vehicles to deliver ads and product placement and editorial that can only criticise by way of omission..... read any book on fashion marketing, or fashion marketing communication.
the journalists are mostly all shills. some are just able to dress it up better than others.

market communciations strategy = marketing communications strategy.

As in gatekeepers?
I get the impression it only applies to what's shown on the runway.
So where does Vestoj or Business of Fashion fit in all this?
