I find what's produced on the internet to be more interesting these days, and all the interesting editorials from the big names hit the internet far before they hit newsstands. Plus the writing on the internet is often far more interesting and insightful than listening to poor Plum Sykes talk about how hard her life is.

I don't mean to be grumbly, but I love the magazine format and I hate to see what most of them have turned in to. Some of the international Vogues are fantastic - Paris Vogue and Vogue Italia in particular have some great editorial shoots. I wish American fashion mags would wake up and realize that they're all going to die out if they don't start putting out a more interesting product.

-dies- Tell me about it! I love those two versions! so much better then our american onces with jennifer aniston on them!

I agree with the post above, I'm always excited for elle uK.

I agree 100%! Especially about Plum Skyes and the awful model jumping poses.

Lately I've been loving Marie Claire. Their most recent issue was one of the most interesting magazines I've ever read. I love how they combine superficial things like fashion and beauty with important - but really intriguing - worldly issues.

Edit: The only downside to the issue was the Drew Barrymore/Ellen Page interview, which was super-boring and filled with expletives.

InStyle and Glamour

plumaplomb · Sep 19th, 2009, 07:30 PM

I'll have to check all of these out -- still trying to find a home

I love Lucky and InStyle; I get them for free via that GoldRewards thing.
I want to see Harper's Bazaar next time I go to the bookshop!

lindacris · Sep 19th, 2009, 07:44 PM

InStyle is my favorite.

I dunno -- I've tried to get into W, but I find some of the pictorial layouts a little disturbing. Like the one that Bruce Willis did with his wife not too long ago - what was THAT all about?
I ended up w/a free subscription to it, but it's probably the mag I spend the least amount of time looking through

Cornflower Blue · Sep 23rd, 2009, 02:28 PM

I used to get In Style but went off it after a few years and also felt their Best Beauty Buys supplement that came out once a year was getting very predictable, and I didn't agree with a lot of their choices!

I like Harpers Bazaar though.

onegirlcreative · Sep 23rd, 2009, 07:01 PM

omg, i cannot wait to read my copy of dwell.

oh wait, i guess that could qualify for a fashion mag, but a fashion mag for modern architecture/design?

1NutMeg · Sep 25th, 2009, 11:35 AM

I like InStyle the best. I love the way it lays out the clothes on the pages into outfits- I have a hard time looking at fashion on models in every spread. I love their beauty and home sections too. I also get People StyleWatch, but wish it was more than just pictures. I read the Sept issue in about ten minutes!
