Advantages: Gorgeous photo spreads, latest fashion, interesting articles

Disadvantages: Aimed at the high end of the market

Vogue is the grandmother of fashion magazines, through wars and the countless changes in society, fashion and culture it has continued to offer a fabulous view of amazing fashion.

It has beautiful fashion spreads and also has articles on arts, fashion, world stories and interviews with the industry movers and shakers.

The focus is on high fashion - no primark here! Although they do feature the high street and some items do make the cut - generally from stores like Reiss, Banana Republic, All Saints etc.

Some of the spreads are works of art in their own right and they always have the best photographers, make up artists, hair stylists and models in the world, Mario Testino, Nick Knight etc all regularly shoot for Vogue.

Getting the cover has made the career of many models!

I enjoy the articles, the fashion and the style of the magazine.

It can be a little exclusive and there is a definite group of people who are regularly featured and there is a focus on a society group.

There is a tendency to assume all readers spend a fortune each season on the latest Miu Miu boots or Missoni jumper. However what's wrong with a little daydreaming!! It does mean though, that any article on 'more dash than cash' or saving money in credit crunch times is definitely out of touch and a bit patronising!

Summary: Fabulous fashion - what else can you need?!
