Summary: In Seattle, some in the fashion industry are going green. Aarti Chandorkar finds out how two young designers - Chrissy Wai-Ching and Renee Corrick - are lessening their impact on the environment.
Aarti does a great job of using description to paint a picture of a completely visual medium: fashion. Her narration is fluid and never redundant; she manages to avoid the common trap of explaining what a piece of tape will say instead of letting it speak for itself. Aarti makes the feature personal at the end by discussing what she learned from her research on Seattle's sustainable fashion world. This is a well-written piece that doesn’t allow the listener’s attention to drop even for a moment.
For most that aren't as knowledgable about fasion, such as myself. Feel that if where goiong to spend money on dresses, or any type of formal wear. Our money could be used towards a more positive outcome, such as purchasing eco-friendly clothing. This type of topic is something that needs to be more out there to teens who buy fashion clothing or any formal wear. I myself like this topic and look foward to conducting a piece on fashion, here at my own school.
Hello my name is Jemima, Generation PRX Youth Editorial Board. First I would like to congratulate you on creating this radio documentary. I actually like this documentary, it is very interesting. Your diction was very clear. I would only suggest music to transition your topics. Good Job!
