Response to Cathy Horyn fashion articles

In Cathy Horyn's article "For Paris, Studded Leather for Spring" she discusses the seasons hot leather trend. To the dismay of animal activists, studded leather is being featured by the top brands like Burberry.
In her article "Paris:Hot Colors Retreat as a Muse Enters" Horyn discusses the European spring collection. She discusses that many navy and floral prints are in. It was interesting that a variety of pajamas was shown at the show.
Overall, I like Horyn's descriptive writing style. She makes it easy for the reader to picture the latest clothing without rambling. She has a bubbly, fun tone that fits the content she discussed.
