I think that the magazine is kind of like a mirror that is going on in fashion. There are a very select top dogs of the industry that own everything and they are well over the retirement age. They refuse to give up there positions so they stay till they are 100 years old. This isnt good because these they really dont know what the fashion youth want. Thus you have boring magazines like american vogue which is AD and celebrity driven. Dont get me wrong I think Anna Wintour is a legend but she needs to realize that she just doesnt connect anymore.I believe that American Vogue is scared and they dont want to step out of the box and that is a mirror reflection of the elderly American: scared and confused. There needs to be a new generation of fashion leaders for things to change.
My favorite magazine is Italian Vogue
and it really stinks that i have to pay almost $15 to get a good quality magazine.This leads me to another point. A lot of people on the board is talking about how Americans dont want models on the cover and creative editorials and all they want is Celebrities. How about instead of thinking on a national scale why not think Internationaly.Do you think that some fashionista from Europe is going to be despirate for American Vogue NO!!!!. but why is it that all over the world people go crazy for French and Italian vogue?
