Elle Does It Well

Elle Collections is in their second edition and I love it.
It's great for all those fashion students out there who want to buy those catwalk magazines but can't afford it (when they're fifty quid a pop!). For only a fiver you get loads of great pictures and that's what we want.
I love the different ways they divide the images. You get colour ways for the season, a catwalk city catagory and diffrerent looks and styles catagories as well.
Adverts are kept to a minimum which means you can concentrate on the fashion .

Happy flicking.

NEW MAGAZINE OUT SOON

I come back after my little break only to find a new weekly highstreet fashion magazine is coming out, entitled 'LOOK'.
Jam packed with fashion goodness their preview issue was refreshing.
When I look at a fashion mag I want fashion, not adverts dispersed with fashion. Luckily 'LOOK' seems to have hit the nail on the everyday fashion head.
I would appreciate a little less reliance on what the stars are wearing for fashion direction, as there are other places to look e.g. on the high end catwalks. I am a little sick of looking at the celebrities and finding out what they wear at breakfast and where they walk their dog.

I thought that they could have left out the informative and intellectual stories. Not that I'm not interested in the news but I would read a different magazine or paper for that kind of story. What I want from a weekly fashion magazine is pure fashion.

'Looks' feature on skinny and straight leg jeans could have been better. They showed pictures of some nice jeans but they didn't specify if a particular make was better for a certain body shape or if they were stretch. 'How to wear them' should have also included who should wear which designs.

Overall this magazine will be great for keeping your finger on the fast moving highstreet fashion pace. If they continue to pack their magazine each week with just as many high street, trends bargains and new looks, then I'm sure it will be a big hit with anyone with an interest in fashion.
