Every time we walk in a bookstore for a fashion magazine, there are so many different choices stand on the shelves that we cannot easily set up our mind to pick one of them. To get all of them will be a way, of course, but with a limited budget, it is quite important for us to make a right selection by understanding every magazine’s main features.
Here I select two of my favorite magazines to introduce:
Vogue Book critic Caroline Weber described Vogue as "the world's most influential fashion magazine" in The NewYork Times. Founded in America in 1892, Vogue is now widely published around the globe: over 15 edditions are published in different countries.
Praised as “the bible”, Vogue includes clothing, cosmetic, beauty, health, entertaiment and art. Vogue is famous for its expensive high fasion and high society lifestyle, and its unique vision of the trend in different cultures is highly respected in the fashion field.
Vogue’s founder is the pioneer of using artists as photographers of magazines, and it opens up a new page for fashion clothings by exibiting them in color photographes. Many of the world’s best photographers have been growing with Vogue and making their way to success.Over 18 million readers around the world subscribe Vogue monthly. It is shrined by designers, writters and artists as the authorty of style and fashion.
Cosmopolitan Also known as Cosmo, it stands in women’s perspective to look into relationships and sex, health, careers, self-improvement, celebrities, as well as fashion and beauty. Cosmopolitan has 58 international editions, is printed in 34 languages and is distributed in more than 100 countries.
Its bold and avant-garde sex topics are its major selling point. However, Cosmo’s sexually explicition in tone as well as covers raises many critizices.
To sum up, every magazine has its specialty. We should learn to be a smart reader as well as a wise buyer!
