 My Love-Hate Relationship October 26, 2001

Oh, I love Vogue and its flashy, flaunting of fashion, its articles lauding vacuous socialites, "it-girl" actresses and the occasional over-40 writer/power moguls, and pages of outerspace-priced clothing on willowy martian-looking mannekins (who we all know now on a first name basis). Really, I love it! Okay, well, it is a bit in love with itself and its authority on fashion, but really ladies, fashion won't save the world, no matter how many charity balls you cover. It's hard to get as worked up over a (last season) pair of ostrich shoes or clutch purse, and enter a mosh pit at some Barney's outlet sale at your "insider's" behest. It really could whip some impressionable young people into a froth of rampant materialism! Makes one wonder if those bound-in purfume samples are starting to smell like "advertorial!"
Vogue does have its merits, including great photography, the occasional thought-provoking article by a guest writer, and bits on designers lurking on !the fringes of affordability(Catherine Malandrino, Earl Jeans, etc). Still, it's a fun bit of eye-candy and fantasy/vicarious luxury living each month. Yes, I do have a subscription, but I read it with a boulder of salt lodged firmly in my cheek.
 My Least Favorite Magazine April 11, 2007

This magazine for me is the most disappointing beauty/style magazine of all. To start it is hugely made up of ads, I'd say over 75%. I don't enjoy buying a fluff magazine, and if you have to turn 10 pages of ads to get to the table of contents, in my opinion you have a fluff magazine.
The models in it are very unattractive, androgynous, asexual. They usually have very thick brows, no breasts or hips, pose themselves in unattractive ways (bony hip jutting out sickeningly, or shoulders hunched over to emphasize the caved-in chest and prominent spinal chord bumps) and the clothes don't fit them right. The clothes themselves usually are more artsy then practical, so I can't even peruse the magazine for style ideas.
I've scanned through this magazine only when I'm waiting in a doctor's office or the like, and even then I'd often rather twiddle my thumbs that look in this magazine, especially lately that the models are becoming uglier and skinner...I would never buy it or order a subscription. It is the total opposite of a beauty magazine. It's more like the scary, beyond anorexic thin, ugly "women" (term used loosely) magazine. Absolutely repulsive.
There are too many other magazines with beautiful, feminine women wearing truly beautiful clothes, that also have interesting articles, for me to ever pay for this drivel.
 All about the fashion in ads February 6, 2003

People are always complaining about the ads. Well guess what, vogue is not a magazine to READ. It's a magazine to LOOK at. And that is my reason for being such a loyal subscriber. I love fashion, and I love looking at the ads, judging outfits and models, comparing and contrastiong. I am an aspiring fashion designer (among many other talents) and Vogue is my key source to what goes into my portfolio. So Many ads with high fashion, cut out what you like, arrange, and paste it to show your creativity. It's all about the clothing. Though it sure is a bit degrading. Media image portrayal on women is depicting; models typically being emanciated and tall symbolize beauty and everything else. Being all fashion, Vogue surrounds this world of the impossible "ideal", from a cover with the ghastly yoga super model Chrity turlington (who was featured bent in all abnormal ways wearing a skimpy yoga thong thing. *intense therepy*) to ads with the new "it models". So be carefull not to get sucked into the "ideal" vogue and fashion promotes. In conclusion. if you just want literature, invest your money in the new yorker.
 Vogue is in a league of its own February 4, 2002

As Vogue documents the hottest looks from the world's best designers, the entire fashion industry holds its breath in anticipation- then scrambles to interpret what Vogue dictates: the magazine is that influential. If you're looking for good, practical advice on cosmetics or picking the right style swimsuit for your body type, you're better off with Glamour or Marie Claire. What you'll find in Vogue is not really "practical" but rather high falutin', haute couture kind of stuff. Compared to other popular women's magazines, what distinguishes Vogue from the rest is how it successfully situates the fashion/beauty business as a vital, viable and artistic component of culture and society. So you're not just getting fashion layouts to look at, but also great articles on writers, architects, actors, art exhibits, and so on. Most everything pictured in Vogue is of course, out of the average person's price range, and the overall magazine's tone makes no apologies for this snobbery. But I still think it's a beautiful magazine to look at for its artistic vision, and for well-written articles on culture.
 Vogue Paris -- Paris free September 21, 2003
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
If you're into fashion, but prefer getting it without a daily dose of whats happening in the lives of nyc socialities, then opt for Vogue Paris. Its in french of course, but who 'reads' vogue. Its also much pricer ($15), but if i wanted to see what Paris Hilton was doing, I'd buy YM. Shockingly enough, Vogue Paris is actually about fashion, not about what fashionable celebrities are wearing.
