I would love to give some feedback, but I have yet to receive my first copy. I ordered on 2/10. I would think I would have it by now. I do like the Mag., that is why I ordered it. So, we shall see. I hope to get a copy soon.

It is of course an axiom that this publication is geared to a female readership, but for men who love looking at women in beautiful clothes, and appreciate fine photography with brilliant creativity in advertisements, this magazine is the best in its class. On its pages you can see the Marc Jacobs spread in the alley, the inviting Yves SaintLaurent sit-down with boatneck and billowy sleeves, the sleek white drapery of Donna Karen, Valentino in decorative black with leather trim, the Akris sharp geometry, Ranjana Khan in high heels perched provocatively at the edge of her office table, and Liya Kebede in Fendi ostrich feather. For this and other reasons, this publication rises above all the rest with height greater than a Jimmy Choo heel. It is absolutely and exquisitely twenty-first century.


5 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST FASHION MAGAZINES   June 3, 2009
T. Williams (Washington D.C)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE W! I have been a fan of the magazine for as long as I can remember. It is not just a magazine that shows women in the HOTTEST fashions and trends, but it provides their readers with educational content and interesting articles about people within and outside of the fashion realm.
Must have magazine... you won't regret it!

I bought my subscription on amazon for W on the first of january and since have recieved one issue, which was the introductory January one...it is now mid-April and i've yet to recieve a second? Needless to say I am very upset with W magazine for taking my money as I am an avid reader who works in the fashion industry. I just want my magazines. Thanks.


2 out of 5 stars Order it Directly From Conde Nast   December 18, 2008

The photographs are simply amazing and the articles are great, Conde Nast is just a solid publisher of magazines. I know folks who get W just for the photography alone (much less the excellent fashion and trend-spotting). However, getting the magazine from Amazon proved a lot more trouble than it was worth.

I tried ordering this as a gift off of my friend's wishlist. Four months later, my friend had yet to receive her first issue of her subscription. I called Conde Nast, I called Amazon: they insisted it was the other. Amazon offered to refund my money when all I really wanted was just the mere fulfillment of the order. So I went to W's web site and ordered it for a couple dollars less and they even included a gift e-mail with the order.

I suggest you save yourself time and trouble and order directly from W's web site.
