Abstract

Using literary journalistic techniques, the researcher will write an in-depth profile of a young international fashion designer. The researcher will conduct detailed interviews with the Russian-born designer, Olga Mashkova, 27, a graduate from the Academy of Art in San Francisco and a finalist in the nationwide contest to work in Target's retail headquarters in Minneapolis. The researcher will employ saturating reporting, immersion journalism, and narrative nonfiction methods to write about the personal and professional challenges facing Mashkova in her quest for success.
