UK Elle June 2013 : Miley Cyrus by Jan Welters

"Rapunzel with a Mohawk" is one of the dumbest titles I've ever read. Ilse's editorial is really nice though.

I thought I would regret canceling the subscription I had to Elle (after almost 8 years of readership) but this issue seems to confirm why I cancelled it. For one, I cannot stand Miley Cyrus and I couldn't care less what she wants to voice to this magazine. She's not even relevant here in the UK. The images that took 10 hours to produce seem to only have taken all of an hour to shoot. They're basic and straightforward, nothing flash and Miley's suggested energetic personality has brought nothing to the table. She doesn't take a decent picture when looking into the lens, I think. The profile shots are the best ones.

As I have mentioned on numerous occasions since their March issue, I think the cover design still needs a mountain of work. Their font and text placement is all over the place, very unattractive and dated. Elle's covers from 2004 are more desirable now, than this. As honeycombchild mentioned, this looks even worse on the newsstands. I'm sure something comes free with the issue, so I guess that'll be a selling point for most.

Vogue28, I envy you cancelling your subscription. I renewed just before the 'revamp' and now I'm really regretting it.

I just can't get on with the new look at all, it's just not user-friendly. There's too much white space now, with not enough to read and a lot of the images reduced to thumbnails which are as good as useless.

I also think it's aiming at a lot younger demographic than it used to be - unless I'm just getting old!

I actually prefer Vogue UK now, which is not something I thought would happen.

I completely agree with you, vogue28! Elle used to be one of my favorite magazines. Now I'm happy that I didn't renew my subscription. Miley on the cover- come on, really?! I'm not a fan of the new design either.
