Elle

I started reading Elle last year, when they had an offer of a 12 month subscription for £12. At £1 an issue, this is great value compared with the usual £3.60 price tag. For your money, you get a monthly fashion magazine, which is usually around 300pages. The cover will usually feature a celebrity, rather than a model, which seems to be a trend of fashion magazines in the last few years. The cover will usually have some headlines and information about what is in the magazine, although when you subscribe, the covers don't have the additional writing. The magazie itself usually features one main celebrity interview, some lifestyle ...  Read the complete review

I'm a regular subscriber and I really enjoy getting Elle each month. It is definitely a fashion magazine and regularly has beautiful fashion spreads and plenty of articles on new looks and styles out there as well as all the shopping information you could ever need! It does have a wide range of designer labels and high street featured (although mostly the high end of the high street). I really enjoy the articles, there is generally a big spread on a woman in the media spotlight and then other articles on health, beauty, living etc. I enjoy the different opinion pieces and it sometimes covers more controversial topics. There ...  Read the complete review

I'm surprised Elle has got such a low rating on dooyoo- it's my favourite magazine! I can't wait until it comes out every month, it's a real treat! It has to be said that it is a FASHION magazine, so it may not be for everyone. I have divided my points into advantages and disadvantages... :) Fashion! For every fashion lover, you can't beat Elle. It is jam packed with hardcore, runway fashion. There is no 'dumbing down' or filler features, it's high fashion at it's best! :) Fashion forward They don't mind talking about Winter fashion in July at Elle- it's a bible to all fashionistas who live for fashion. :) Freebies, discounts ...  Read the complete review

If this is a magazine for contemporary women then I've been marooned on the planet Zarg for the past decade. I would ask who on earth buys this - but I know. It's bought by the folks lured by the freebies on the front. I confess - I am one (the book wasn't bad either). Such freebies are currently the subject of a publishers' inquiry - concerning whether or not magazines like Elle can claim accurate circulation figures when 'inducements beyond the incidental' (to use their words) are on offer. In other words - would we have bought it if we hadn't been bribed? I would certainly hope not. I am sure there are women who spend hours ...  Read the complete review

Elle is a glossy magazine full of fashion and articles about fashion. It is good for anyone working in the fashion industry that needs to keep up to date and for those women who are genuinely fashion-obsessed. I felt it was full of adverts so never bought it but hubbie picked up a copy on the train for me last night so I thought I'd read it. I did an interesting test first. I held it in one hand and just let the pages flick through from back to front. I have to say it failed my readability test. I did not notice one article. It was all adverts! Like I said, if you need to keep up to date with the fashion industry then I'm sure a collection of adverts ...  Read the complete review
