“Good things: ”

written by on 04/12/2009

Good things:

Teen Vogue has high fashion editorials and articles, also including articles about people who work in fashion and are in the fashion industry. I think the general purpose of the magazine (if you include its website and its recently published Teen Vogue Handbook) is to direct you the right way if you're looking to break into the fashion industry, as I am.



Bad Things:

The editorials have nothing under about $200, which is ridiculous. This is a teen magazine, people, and 15 year old girls cannot afford $300 blouses and $250 shoes. I am a normal girl, I buy pants for $50 or less and tops for $20 or less, my everyday shoe pair at about $60 and other dress shoes or occasion shoes for $20 or under. I simply cannot buy what they have to offer me. Another negative point is that it is REALLY small and as a result it has very little meat. Like other magazines, it is about 70% possibly a bit more of advertisements, and if you cut those out, it would simply be puny. (It's about a half of an inch thick, and like I said, mostly advertisements)



Overrall:

The reason I buy this magazine is to read it and use it for what I call "inspiration." Meaning, I search everywhere for the items I particularly like in cheaper shops, then if they can't be found I attempt to make them or find them in a thrift shop or eBay. Otherwise, I take the general "vibe" of the outfits presented and apply it to my seasonal purchases. For me, it is a magazine to be bought for a fun read, a link into what's "in" in the industry right now, etc. but it is not to be taken seriously as things that I would literally see in the magazine and buy for myself.
