Hi everyone, I am a senior in high school and I am not sure if I should go to an art school to work in the fashion magazine business. Of course, I would at least have a minor in writing. Thanks for the help.

Of course, you can get just about any job with just about any degree. But yes, art school would be beneficial, especially a major related to design. Depending on what type of work you would want to do, you could also look into also getting a degree in communications. Just make sure you look for opportunities to do internships, as these jobs are hard to come by.

I was wondering which fashion magazines have unique and different editorial spreads in them and show vintage garments. Does anyone know any?

Hmm, I suppose they all dabble in vintage editorial. Elle, InStyle, Grazia, Look, Red…

There’s Look magazine showcases new online shops in their Click n Shop section.

You could try investigating other vintage brands to see where they have been advertised/written about.

Honest question. I don’t buy any fashion magazines or anything like that, but a while ago I took a feminist-ish class that analyzed how women are presented in pop culture.

The stuff in the magazines was _disgusting_. All the women had makeup that, to me, just looked like bruises, and one woman was hung from the ceiling like a chandelier.

But what was even more disgusting to me was that all these girls were alternating between, "That’s so wrong," and, "This is my favorite magazine!"

Power of the consumer, people. The industry gives you what you want, and you tell them by buying that crap and watching MTV.

You can’t blame everything on ’societal pressure’ either, because there’s always someone else who agrees with you and you’re ultimately the one forking over the cash and taking the thing home.

Stop buying Hooker magazine and miniskirts, and I guarantee you they will disappear.

There exist a small group of men who actually appreciate that type of thing. And I don’t mean being objectifying women.

Some of us appreciate women who "doll" themselves up. I personally, love it when my wife does that. It has nothing to do with demeaning her or having less respect for her. It’s more about what we prefer.

I think if society was more bilateral (with regard to the sexes), then we would see men who read those kinds of magazines and subscribed women’s preferences too.

The key here is to do what you want to and what makes you feel good. I personally used to like attention from women, now I do from my wife. If something I wear or something I do to my hair makes her more attracted to me, then I’ll do it.

Unfortunately, too many women go overboard with that concept. The idea is to be attractive to yourself, then the actractee.

Showing your goodies because you think it’s the only way to get attention is just wrong. But if you like dressing skanky because of the thrill. Because your husband/boyfriend or the type of guy you’re looking for likes that, then go for it.

Questions like,
How much would you pay for a fashion magazine?
What would you expect to see in a fashion magazine?

I need to have at least 15 questions??

=)

1. Get the demographics [sex, age, total annual household income; these are all componets in which can change how people feel about magazines in general]
2. What draws you to buy a certain magazine?
3. What would you want to see more of on a magazine?
4. Do others influence your purchase of Fashion Magazines, or do you purchase soly for the fashion topics?
5. What do you feel is a reasonable price for a fashion magainze?
6. Would you pay more for a fashion magainze if it gained all of which you would want to see in a magazine?
7. Do you feel that fashion magazines should focus on all shapes and sizes?
8. Would you be more happier to see a fashion magazine showcasing real women with clothes that are affordable to everyone, or showcase models with clothes that are somewhat expensive?
9. Do you think the cover of a magazine makes you want to buy a magazine more or less?
10. If a fashion magazine were to have a celebrity that you like, are you more likely to purchase that magazine?
11. Would you buy a fashion magazine more often if they included some women in the fashion world who are trying to make a change happen?
12. In a fashion magazine, how do you feel they portray women?
13. When you hear of the word "fashion magazine" what comes to your mind?
14. Thinking of your favorite fashion magazine, how you feel they could improve their apperance?
15. In one word, describe a fashion magazine. (without using the word "fashionable")

I’m doing some college work on why people read high end fashion magazines, so if anyone would like to let me know why they do, it would be greatly appreciated!

I do it for my art work. I like to draw people. But I also like to get ideas of what I could wear.

i love photography what do i need to do to become a photogapher for a fashion magazine?

Learn to market yourself as a photographer
Build a strong portfolio
Network and meet AS MANY PEOPLE as you can in that industry
Shoot as many events as you can and hand out cards all the time

I am doing some work on fashion magazines, and would like to know how people feel about themselves when seeing Size 0 models. Serious answers would be greatly appreciated!
(Nikkiinwonderlandx- thanks for putting the effort in- im afraid i can’t rate as im only level 1!)

I feel they pressure readers into thinking that this is what an ‘ideal’ woman should look like. Sometimes magazines portray size = success.

Men are also used to seeing super skinny actresses on screen and in mags, so women may feel pressure from men.

All in all, what’s wrong with using a size 10 model? Perfectly healthy?

not the mainstream ones like vogue and harpers bazaar which you can get in mainstream newsagents, but I heard there is a good shop somewhere near oxford circus (?) that sells all the specialist fashion magazines

Just by Oxford Street tube station there’s a book shop full of them. Go out of the station turn right and head up Oxford Street towards Tottenham Court Road. The shop is on the right hand side of the road not too far up almost opposite HMV or in that area. Go to the back and there’s loads of fashion mags there.

I think it’s Borders – all I know is it has 2 floors.

i want magazines that have fashion like Gucci and Chanel.

Allure
Glamour
Vogue
W
Elle
Bazaar
Cosmo
Lucky
Vanity Fair

just some…
all are really good !
between me and my other two sisters, we are subscribed to all of them

I want to give my sister a subscription to a fashion magazine, but I have no idea what women this age like – she is turning 19. All I know is Vouge but I think that is too old for her.

Thanks!

I’d reccommend Cosmogirl or Glamour. Both are very age appropriate, have great articles, and are aimed for that age group.
