'Bourgeois Declaration', 2019.12.06

W Korea is the South Korean edition of American fashion magazine W, launched in 2005. 80% of the magazine's readers are female. 'Bourgeois Declaration' is a fashion story written by Lee Yeji which explores bourgeois fashion. The piece explores designer Hedi Slimane's new 'bourgeois' collection for Celine. The narrative is informative as it explores the history of bourgeois fashion and how it was ridiculed in the past as being too 'boring' and 'proper', yet is now coming back into fashion thanks to fashion designers such as Slimane. The written piece is accompanied by fashion photographs of Slimane's designs, expertly detailing his idea of bourgeois fashion. The photographs are very simplistic, with the models standing against a plain black background lit by a single white light source. This is effective as the audience's attention is focused solely on the clothes  that the models are wearing. The outfits themselves are simplistic, made up of neutral tones such as brown and grey. The written piece and fashion photography go hand in hand, detailing the simple yet stylish nature of bourgeois fashion.
