A great way to connect with a more youthful audience is by portraying experiences that they can relate to, which is why these academically inspired editorials are utilizing themes from high school and college to attract readers.
While it's sometimes nice to indulge ourselves in the imaginative themes and references often portrayed in ads and magazine spreads, seeing fashion styles that one can actually relate to and utilize in real life is definitely something readers can appreciate. These academically inspired editorials are all about showcasing a more educational side to fashion, that while attending school, you can still wear chic and stylish clothing that any fashionista would be envious of.
From urban collegiate fashion to retro school girl looks, these academic fashion spreads are a great way to connect with a more youthful generation of readers.
