Fashion career: best magazines to subscribe to

Which magazine & why?

Is the print industry dead?! This is a question that arises frequently, and one that we would refute. It’s more that the print industry and the way we consume content is changing. There is nothing like reading a magazine and turning or tearing out the pages. We savor each issue and look forward to reading them when going on trips via plane or train. Pouring over the magazines, we discover brands, new ways to style items we have in our closets and learn A TON. Below in detail is what we love about each magazine:

• Vogue:
  • We love Vogue because it features art, politics and fashion. We are always discovering new brands or events to attend when reading the issues. They are celebrating their 125 Anniversary this year, and it has been exciting remembering all the magazine has accomplished. Anna Wintour has been the Editor-in-Chief since 1988.
