its a sad sad time for my beloved print magazines. but i do not think that one can pin the blame on the internet/blogs alone.

the truth is, every single month the magazines get worse and worse. harpers bazaar is just a bunch of dead trees glossed up with recycled articles. and vogue, which used to be interesting – is just losing brain cells by the day.

elle is still able to maintain a shred of dignity, but i don’t know how long that will last.

and w turned itself into boring “artsy pornography” (who would thought it possible to have artsy pornography described as boring?) with a ton of jewelry that just puts you to sleep.

dont get me started on the glamour cosmo universe, i never subscribed to them. but they are ridiculously formulaic.

right now, the only magazine pulling its weight is allure. and thats because its focus is beauty.

something needs to be redone to revitalize the industry! while i love the fashion blogs (esp. fashion indie) nothing really compares to a good print magazine.

i think that there is room for both mediums in the industry, but print has got to get back to its old self.

I agree. I remember in my emerging media class, my research paper said print will be dead by 2015 and everyone looked at me like WTF. Looks like my paper will be proving me right.

Say it isn’t so!! As an avid reader of fashion magazines for the last 15 years, I would hate to see some of my favorite glossies go belly up (I nearly cried when Jane went defunct). The internet is great and all, but as anomalous as it may seem, there are still some people who don’t have access to the internet let alone own a computer. A magazine is much like a book-its your own little sweet escape into a world of high fashion fantasy. The internet, while swarming with information is impersonal, detached and gives you grief when you least expect it. You can’t take the internet to the beach while relaxing on a towel next to the waves or while chilling in your hammock in your backyard on a sunny day(maybe you could but it would be pretty impractical, not to mention cumbersome) or to work when you need a distraction and its much easier to be discreet. Heaven is curling up on my couch on a rainy day with the latest Elle, which I know is not gonna freeze up on me or take forever and a day for the images to load.
