This is of course great news for the budding and veteran fashionistas who seem to have an almost unlimited amount of choices on the magazine rack.
Fashion Magazines have grown to encompass so much more than fashion in many cases to allow publishers to broaden their appeal to a much wider audience, while others stoically cover fashion and fashion only.

Undoubtedly, Vogue sets the standard by which all other fashion magazines are based or judged. At almost one century old, Vogue is the veteran of the genre and enjoys immense popularity and arguably the most name recognition amongst the popular fashion magazines. Designs in Vogue are popular established brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, Prada & Chanel. Vogue is strictly haute couture.
