THE BEST FASHION MAGAZINES OF THE WORLD

Nothing beats the happiness that you feel when you lie on your couch on a Sunday and reading a magazine, a ritual that can be taken over by no digital application. Some magazines never go out of style. Vogue, Cosmopolitan and many others were there to give us advice when none of the Instagram influencers was even born. Let’s take a look at some of them.

Vogue is unquestionably the most popular fashion magazine in the world. It was founded as a newspaper towards the end of the 19th century and it slowly became a fashion magazine in time, featuring articles, news and advice columns especially for women. It now has over 11 million subscribers in more than 25 countries throughout the world.

Elle is a French fashion magazine that started its journey in 1945. It was started as one and has always been – and obviously will always be – a women’s fashion magazine. Its name means “she” or “her” in French. Its first slogan, “if she reads, she reads Elle” could now be controversial in terms of its message, but it became like an anthem for many women in the past. It is now an American magazine that continues to be read by women in more than 45 countries in the world.

The legend of Cosmopolitan started as a family magazine in 1886 and slowly evolved into a fashion magazine by the 1950s. The words “Fun Fearless Feminism” became its slogan after it was taken over by Helen Gurley. It is fun to read, fearless to discuss taboos, and most importantly a women’s rights advocate with its social projects to help women in need all around the world.
