Lately it seems like Vogue has lost its premium quality. The paper is thinner and so are most of the issues, the editorials are less inviting and overwhelmed by the ads which can be printed on paper so thick it makes it hard to leaf through the magazine. And don't get me started on the vile mix of too many competing perfume samples! I don't like many scents and a number of them make me nauseous, so I pull the things out immediately and put them in the farthest-away-from-me recycling bin. Even so, the scents still linger in the paper, especially on the facing pages, so I have to wash my hands after touching the magazine--something that cuts deeply into my enjoyment of Vogue and other mags with perfume sample ads. What's still great are the personal experience essays. Vogue has always had the best writers and the most interesting takes. Some of the fashion pages are still gorgeous, though many seem like recycled versions with poses we've already seen other models do better, or photos where the clothes can't be seen in the landscape or lighting used. With the poses, I don't know if the fault is the model's, because she has a limited range of poses, expressions or emotions, or if the fault is the editor's for choosing clothes or photos that look alike, but there's a lot too much sameness to the magazine recently. I look back longingly at Grace Coddington's amazing 1920s shoot, or the Versailles spread with those incredible clothes and stunning model with her gift for inventive poses that still let us see what she's wearing, or the Alice in Wonderland shoot--all examples of the best fashion photography available--and I hope Vogue gets a renewed jolt of the creativity, craftsmanship and professional pride that has made it an exemplar.
It is what it is, a bunch of ads, but they sure are pretty!
Always loved the photography and fashion of Vogue and is good to feed you ideas and keep you noticing the cycle of trends and the evolution of art & fashion
Vogue is consistently the best magazine on my newsstand and the price was right so we are giving the subscription a try. Alright so far after only three issues.
I have read Vogue since I was 10 years old. I read it at the public library, until I could afford to purchase my own copies. It is so exciting to have it available in such a convenient format.
Gotta love Vogue. Like the digital and delivery versions. I can scan the little samples and give the paper version away.

I look forward to getting an issue every month and it was a one time payment, very reasonable!
A gift for my mother who loved Vogue for many years. This was a favorite coffee table magazine in the home. I also purchased it to just enjoy "the fragrance page" which is basically a scratch and sniff page. This is a rather other-worldly magazine but you would love this if you watch America's Next Top Model.
Great price for a legendary magazine
I have always liked Vogue. I always look forward to the fashion snaps in different places - the photography
is really great.
Vogue and Harpers are my favorite fashion magazines!
