Specifics? To expand on the research question I will be looking how aesthetic styles can reflect the context, audience and function within editorial design, and more specifically within fashion editorial.

Introductory Statement I will develop on from the research question by diversifying it and looking more specifically at how the aesthetic styles within the world of editorial design, and more specifically within the world of editorial and magazine work for the fashion industry. Firstly I will look at how these aesthetic styles mentioned reflect on the context of the editorial work and the magazine it is found it, relating to the editorials space within the fashion community, more specifically class and culture. Furthermore I will then look at how the aesthetic styles used within the editorial work reflect on the target audience of the fashion magazine with the eventuality of discovering the spectrum of fashion editorial as a subject and finally a look as how the aesthetic styling used within fashion editorial effect the function of the editorial, taking in to context class, culture, market specifics and taking in to context the whole fashion editorial industry from street-wear all the way to to high fashion. From the discovery of all of these different aspects it will help me to gauge an understanding of how the target audience and all of the aspects that they entail such as class level, social structure and like & dislikes can effect the aesthetic styling of fashion editorial.
