Best fashion magazine: Elle, Marie Claire, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar? And why?

Predicting fashion is a tough cookie, some tips:

I normally don`t find those magazines you mention very "in front" the are leading edge NOT bleeding edge (in my humble opinion as a fashion designer you need to look more to

- look more to magazines of art and design like:

Publications from Studio Li Edelkoort (trend forecasting)

Bloom (from Studio Li E.)

Wallpaper

ID

Jalouse

- and to see tendencies of other designers worldwide

Collezione Dona

Collections (Japanese)

W- in my opinion it pulls in the resource of its daily paper WWD (Womens Wear Daily) which has all the comings and goings of the fashion world in a trade paper sense including all the nuts and bolts from accessories to gossip for the month very well. Plus it is oversized which I like and although not as edgy as some of the younger papers such as Oyster- it has consistently interesting editorial. So if stranded on a desert island with only ONE mag to get a subscription to- W would keep you the most in the loop with the ENTIRE fashion business.

I always loved Elle magazine because of the fashions.

Elle magazine they give great fashion tips and are perfect remodels

I like Vogue. The clothes are unique and cool. It has an overall good layout and it's pretty interesting to read.

i love harper's bazaar coz i think that magz is "the must and have magazine", like their positioning...

Vouge because of it's cool variety of clothes and stories

HArpar's Bazarr. Its just so different and unique. Plus I <333 the name :)

vogue, i've read it once and it is on the hills so i think they are more fashion forward expecially if lauren and whitney are interns there!lol!!!
