I've looked at this magazine intermittently over the last few years and found this issue much thinner than I expected. Perhaps future issues will have more articles per issue.
not much to read or learn
for ads only pretty much. there is not much to read or learn for the common reader. it seems like it's mailing for the fashion elite not for everyone.
W Mag: Worth the cost ?
I personally had never read this maginze until a friend sent a subscription to me. I don't understand why she bought it for me. This magnize features three things: clothes, accesories, and stories of the rich and famous. The clothing and accesories are all designer, which is great if you are into super-expensive clothing. Also the outfits shown are ridicius. They look the outfits out of some cheesy B- movie, or possibly a bunch of mops sewn together. I doubt anyone can really tell what they are. The only other thing in this magazines are stories of the super elite celebrities and royalty, which are incredibly boring. Please don't waste your money on this magazine, it's not worth it.
Scandalous
I'm a fashion student at Parsons school of design and have obviously been exposed to a variety of fashion magazines. I've been a reader of W for several years now and have watched it's level of controversy rise from edgy and risque to pornographically obscene. I was going through the current issue's fashion coverage while sitting on a train, and came across the most meretricious, vile and pornographic advertisment for Tom Ford's sunglasses line. I was completely shocked that censors would let such a sexually graphic image pass in a somewhat mainstream fashion mag. It was literally hard-core pornography (i'm not exaggerating)and i was embarressed to have come across this ad while sitting next to other people in a public place.I own hundreds of magazines and have yet to see such stupidity on the editor's part. I am no longer going to purchase W and i hope that the magazine's directors will have more sense and discretion in the future.
