Current Vanity Fair and Harper's Bazaar remind me a lot of each other. They seem to be stuck in the same sort of struggle.I find the written content to be the 'lite' version of the same type of feature you often get in modern Vanity Fair, stuffed full of social media buzzwords that serve to derail any meaningful point that could be made.
Duh. Of course, with a good photographer... almost anyone can look interesting.With Lindbergh, Demarchelier or even Testino, these subjects would have look more interesting. I imagine a black and white portrait of Emma by Peter. That would have been a killer story. The greats are gone or are a few.
Tell more about the fashion contentFor an issue that contains three editorials, it's showing as having only 104 pages in my digital version, so they haven't skimped on the main content.
Do I like the issue? No - but there are plenty of magazines who would pad out those 100 pages with filler content and only give you one short editorial.
