"Raccoon-eyed models in snug alpaca coats were standing on platforms at the Kevin Bruk Gallery one recent evening, looking a little restless.
They had been told not to move, for a spooky-arty effect. But their fidgeting kept breaking the spell."
Featured above are the first two paragraphs of an article posted on MiamiHerald.com Saturday entitled, "Fashion is Art at Bruk Gallery Show." The vivid description of the models created an air of mystery, drawing me further into the story.
I soon discovered that the article was about local designer, Silvia Arguello, whom recently unveiled her new line of coats and dresses on models on display at the Kevin Bruk Art Gallery. The article focuses on the rare feat of hosting a fashion show within a Miami art gallery and documents Arguello's rise in the fashion world.
The narrative structure of this article is perfectly suited for entertainment-based stories, since readers/web users are able to dedicate more time to being "teased," allowing the descriptive elements of the story to unfold with ease while mixing factual data in order to maintain interest and increase involvement. I don't believe that this sort of story structure would work well with "breaking news" since readers aren't in the mood to be entertained when seeking just the plain, quick facts.
