\"\"<\/a>Paris fashion week means we’re scouring the runway reviews in Fashion Publishing. Yesterday we live blogged the results of a discussion regarding what we love to see reviewers do; today comes the “needs improvement” category. Pull all of these tips together and it’s a tall order for any blogger, but choose one or two and we’ll click “Follow” in \u00a0a split second…<\/p>\n

I hate it when the reviewer just rants about something he or she didn\u2019t like as if trying to convince others to have the same opinion.<\/p>\n

-A.J. Jimenez<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like it when a review focuses too much on one single piece in a collection. I think every piece functions as a whole with the others and has been placed in this particular spot for a reason.<\/p>\n

-Laura Gallon<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like it when a writer decides a designer hasn\u2019t translated their inspiration well, but doesn\u2019t provide an explanation. What is the design inspiration? Can I know as the reader?<\/p>\n

-Kiki Oparah<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to contextualize what is being reviewed. Who created it, when, where, and why?<\/p>\n

-Maria Elena Pombo<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t use words for words\u2019 sake. Repetition is no fun, but throwing in adjectives to make the word seem fancy is the worst of both worlds. It\u2019s okay to use a thesaurus, but don\u2019t go crazy, and please make sure the dictionary is close by as well!<\/p>\n

-Julia Scinto<\/p>\n

I hate it when reviews are all opinion; let the reader decide!<\/p>\n

-Becca Blasdel<\/p>\n

I hate it when reviewers use higher vocabulary to enhance the article, rather than the content.<\/p>\n

-Alexandra Vercruysse<\/p>\n

I dislike when reviews do not review shows fairly, or understand a designer\u2019s overall aesthetic. I don\u2019t really want to hear about your personal opinion unless it has to do with the show.<\/p>\n

-Mary Margaret Holma<\/p>\n

I hate PR voice, especially when it comes to word usage like \u201ca must see\u201d or \u201cbreathtaking\u201d Also, when reviewers name drop.<\/p>\n

-Yvette Martinez<\/p>\n

Time is so limited these days, so a one minute video explaining the collection with visuals is so much more amazing and will capture the audiences better than \u201ccontent.\u201d<\/p>\n

-Gina Baldwin<\/p>\n

I hate when reviewers use a slew of redundant adjectives: the bright white glorious light\u2026<\/p>\n

-Rebecca Rubin<\/p>\n

Fashion should be fun. Even if you don\u2019t know how to pronounce Thakoon or Yves Saint Laurent, fashion reviews should reach out to everyone.<\/p>\n
