Fashion Obsession takes a look at the world of a high school girl where fashion means identity. This feature is a really great story about Shakima, who is what I would a fashion snob. After listening to the piece, which explains her reasons for seeing fashion as a status symbol, I could perhaps think of her more as really obsessed with fashion and the attention it brings her.
The narration is really engaging and has plenty of genuine attitude.
It felt like she was talking to me one-on-one and not just reading a script. The piece uses interviews with her family to help give the background of her story and peer interviews to emphasize her point that clothes do matter. This piece would be a good addition to a show about fashion or teen issues.
