Example of a focused profile

If you think about it, it probably isn't surprising that fashion writers would be able to write good descriptive pieces. After all, this is a group that has to tell readers what they see in almost every assignment.
Shortly after last week's class, I saw a terrific piece on Ralph Lauren and his new store in Manhattan in the New York Times.
Jam-packed with visuals through words.
