What Magazines Have You Bought/Received Recently?

I remember not being able to afford that issue, when it was first on sale - I didn't have £5.50.

It costs a hell of a lot more to get hold of it these days!

Many of us experience the same thing at some point in life - not being able to afford something that we would love to own.

The Face March 1999, February 2000 and November 2001... slowly re-buying issues I sold without thinking as much I should about it

Christmas came early to me...

I have never even seen that Twilight cover before, it's so gorgeous (don't judge me) and i was not aware of the bedazzled HB issues (+ Lindsay one), they are so sparkly i'm in love
Also, the 90s were something else... Madonna on the Vogue cover, Naomi, Linda (+ Kyle MacLachlan) in the editorials, Kate showing the backstage of the fashion shows... and to think i had to flip thru the "backstage" "editorial" of Vogue France earlier this month...

Obsessed with the two Madonna covers!

Been looking for this V Paris issue for ages! Such a good set, too

Bought Vogue Paris Dec 1999/Jan 2000. I except it after Christmas though... and received both The Face Feb 2000 and Nov 2001. Additionally bought The Face May 2000 - down to 2 issues to have complete set of 1998-2001 The Face again.

I feel you. I'll get most of my mags most likely in July next year, as they wait to be sent to me... I already have huge backlog of them sitting for past 2 years, they are packaged in boxes properly though yet didn't have time to them sent and my family in UK didn't have it either.

I had moment of weakness again as I didn't want to buy too much mags now, but I finally have complete whole 1998 year of i-D! Been looking for August 1998, no.178 The Very Blue issue for ages and only listing around for long time was overpriced, until one was listed for a (current average) price that now isn't as bad. Been waiting two months to buy it and I finally got it! I love Erin and my completionist mindset is satisfied. Down to Nov 1999 and Oct 2001 to buy from ones I never had before and I still have 4 2001 issues to rebuy + Feb 2002...

 

[nunova]

I can't stop now it seems, just i-D Feb 2001! Down to March, July, September and October to recomplete this year. Not my favorite issue in full, but there are some things here that I miss and didn't save them earlier. I managed to get it under 20gbp as I did before.

I finally picked it up today, it's such incredible issue! I was wondering why no one scanned it yet (I'll be doing it myself soon!).

I really liked Testino's editorial, since I pretty much like most of what he shot for V Paris and V UK during late 90s by default. Herb Ritts's editorial with dancers of San Francisco ballet is pure excellence, it's wonderful. Except the cover, Mondino did also shot one editorial and to be honest, it was my first time seeing his work from late 90s and it was a good surprise. Loved the colors. There's also one by Karl and a photo story by Philip-Lorca diCorcia.

I managed to get it for 1/2 what it would cost me off eBay and seller gave me runway supplement I was looking for for free (tbh I appreciate having them around, quick look up of each season by trend, though I need to get V Italia's ones as they are closest to what I want) which is such a nice gift, because it's 1) my favorite model on cover 2) favorite season. I really want to get more V Paris but since prices on it (and V UK) risen I kinda started being interested in V Deutsch more as from previews it's really up my alley... Hopefully I'll find more for good prices next year!

In the mail: L'Officiel September 2001, Vogue Deutsch September 2001, Vogue Deutsch April 1998, i-D June/July 2002 (with no Kate Moss tax!)

L'Officiel September 2001

Is this the Charlotte Gainsbourg cover? I've always wanted to see the editorial but haven't found more than a couple images online - if you are ever able to scan it, I will be there!

Yes, it is! Definitely will scan it after I'll get it, I suspect it will arrive in mid January as seller will probably send it after Christmas or New Year.

She got few more covers that year iirc. I remember it was Dazed #75 March 2001 (I know it was posted here, but I still want to re-buy it for better condition copy, though I sold mine anyway before) and i-D Nov 2001, which I plan to buy in not so distant future.
