I have subscribed to Vogue for a long time; and it displays the latest and most expensive fashions. Each page is full of ads from Payless to Saks Fifth Avenue to Dolce and Gabbana. This magazine is the best at informing the readers about fashion in different environments all over the world. Vogue also has information on current fashion trends. All of this information would be helpful to a designer because it is essential to know what fashion trends are popular.

W magazine is great just like Vogue. Both magazines involve celebrities. Celebrities are a huge influence on fashion; they are in movies, on TV, they are everywhere we are. Everyone wants to know what styles the celebrities are wearing and what ordinary people can do to duplicate the styles. Celebrities are: on the covers, they have stories written about them, and they have fashion shoots to show current fashion trends.

Elle magazine is another great fashion magazine. It shows much of the same things that W and Vogue do. It shows: celebrities, affordable fashion trends, and expensive trends. Elle magazine, like the others, showcases fashion designers and the garments they have designed. It is a good idea to have references to celebrities and fashion designers when you are designing your own garments. I think every fashion designer, or women who are into fashion, should have a subscription to: Vogue, W, and Elle magazine.
