 you can enjoy it without aspiring to it April 16, 2006

W makes it clear what industry it serves, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun to read and look at. It does have some interesting insight into the fashion business, such as a column on deals, mergers, CEO's, designers, new talent; plus there are photos from the runways in New York, Paris, and Milan. You can really see a designer's theme and imagination, and that is an art of a sort! The party photos are fun to see, because you can do your own "what not to wear" with some of the women pictured, who are trying as pathetically hard as we are in the sticks to make the most of what we've got. Interestingly, the articles usually do not gush over their celebrity topics (except Reese Witherspoon, and what's not to like?). There can be quite a tone of sarcasm when the subject warrants it. Of course, the product articles are pitched to sell the product, but you can still glean some hard information. And last but not least, the fashion photography can be compelling. Sometimes you're compelled to say "this is stupid" but you're compelled to look. One thing about W that keeps me subscribing: the prose may not be deathless, but it isn't breathless. (Pay attention, fashion editors)
One of the best. February 17, 2006

If you want a magazine based on fashion but merged with stories and interviews of top celebrities, then W magazine is perfect for you.
This large magazine is not only interesting, but beautiful. It has pages and pages of high quality, remarkable photos. Not to mention tons of beautiful fashion ads. If you live for fashion, or if you simply admire it; you will get latched onto W.
Celebrities such as Kate Moss, Mary Kate Olsen & Lindsay Lohan have graced the cover of this magazine. Pick it up even if you're the SLIGHEST bit interested. You won't be disappointed!
frothy and delightful December 2, 2005

I love W magazine in all its oversized glory. Its frothy with articles for the affluent, gorgeous photography, celebrity interviews and other frothy delights. It aims for the affluent and its unabashed in doing so. Its amusing that certain people review on Amazon.com with their personal rants that have nothing to do with the product at all. If anyone works hard for their success then why should they be abashed for enjoying the good life and beautiful things? Its these people that W addresses, and its frothy and I'm going to enjoy it for all its frothiness.

for ads only pretty much. there is not much to read or learn for the common reader. it seems like it's mailing for the fashion elite not for everyone.
