Vogue

I have always loved fashion, I always love to keep up to date with the latest catwalk trends and have my own original style. I have always loved designer labels but being young still I don't have the money but it doesn't mean I can't copy ideas. Since I realised I loved fashion so much, I thought it would probably be best to get a fashion magazine and have a look to see what one is best. Not all of the magazines have a lot on fashion and they mainly do articles on highstreet fashion and that is not really what I am into because there is mass production and with designer it's unique, usually. I went along to my local book shop and had a look at ...  Read the complete review

Recently I have been watching a programme called shopping is my life aired on the BBC. I'm addicted to fashion shows and if the word shopping is mentioned. .... well I'm simply hooked. The show taught me a few things. m a glossy lover. I admit I can't survive without my celeb gossip fix. I want tI'm a shopaholic! Not on the scale of alot of the women that appear on the show as I don't have their incomes and the only reason I'm not as bad as them is because I don't have their income , given half a chance I flipping well would be! The one thing it did make me sit and think about is how much do I really want or need what I buy. How much stuff do I buy purely cos ...  Read the complete review

Deffinately my favourite fashion magazine available to buy in the stores. Generally I get put down for looking though a magazine at clothes I can't afford but it is always nice to dream isn't it? And even if I can't afford a single item accept from a couple of items in the new 'more dash than cash' section, I feel looking at the clothes from the designers gives you a better idea of what is in fashion rather than looking at a less flattering copied version of something. I feel that Vogue does in fact teach a lot more about fashion than any other magazine. It allows you to see how fashion is intended to be worn by the designers themselves. Although ...  Read the complete review

I'm not too sure how keen I am on Vogue. It is of the course one of the "big boys" of fashion magazine and viewed as being the holy gospel for many, however I have to say I dont like it for the following reasons: - there are many many advertising features; I think i would say that about 60% of the magazine is adverts. While this is interesting to see what the fashions are, essentially you are just paying to see something with has not intellectual or genuine value. - of the remaining 40% of the magazine, about a further 30% is full of models and fashion/makeup "features" heavily advertising products and I dont feel there is any ...  Read the complete review

I used to be so in awe of Vogue. Just of buying it! - it had such a glamourous and expensive air. I still get a kind of thrill out of buying it, because it is so completely unreal. For as long as you're reading it you can pretend that you live in a completely different world where spending a month's wages on a handbag is a perfectly rational thing to do. There must be so few people who actually live the lifestyle of the typical 'Vogue' bird, but thousands of people still buy it - it's pure escapism. It's also quite a laugh really - the quality of the actual journalism is abysmal (probably because the writers' heads are so far up their ...  Read the complete review
