Fashion Assistants & Writers

Fashion Assistants and Fashion Writers are usually the most junior on the fashion and style teams and therefore the most accessible to PRs.

They will support the editors with smaller fashion pieces and product round-ups. They will also call-in samples for shoots.

Frequently Asked Questions

There’s no substitute for meeting in person – attending industry events will open doors that emails never will. If that’s not possible, you’ll build trust and credibility if you personalise every pitch. Fashion journalists ignore blanket approaches, so send an original angle to each journalist. 

You need to be in the know about the fashion calendar, and pitch around it. Fashion journalists think in seasons, so it’s crucial to think about whether they’re in show mode or feature planning mode before you reach out. It’s also important to respect lead times – monthlies like Vogue and Elle work months ahead.

  • Bring a real story.  “New season” is not a hook, so tie your brand or collection to something happening in culture, whether that is a shift in consumer behaviour or a social movement.
  • Lead with visuals. Fashion is a visual industry and journalists won’t be able to consider your pitch without brilliant images and/or video.

Top tip: Make sure your pitch answers the questions “why this” and “why now” before you hit send. 

You can get access to the emails, bio, recent bylines, and topics of interest for every journalist in this guide via Roxhill’s Media Database. You’ll also be able to use our handy AI journalist assistant to help you tailor your pitch to your desired journalist before you hit send.
