 Eh. February 6, 2008

After reading a few of these I realized that Nylon is just a rich hipster kid reference manual.
Conde' Nast meets its match. February 5, 2008

I was absolutely blown away by NYLON when I first heard of it. It was it's graphics, images and avant garde approach of featuring washed out, flesh faced and clean pictures in a Juergen Teller-esque way through Matt Irwin, one of their main photographers who either has started this trend or has just been given credit for it.
I have complaints in the uninteresting people they sometimes choose, and when they are interesting, the spreads lack in delivery. Mary Kate Olsens spread should have been different than how haggard, unkempt and unprim Cory Kennedy, Sienna Miller or Taylor Warren overexposed in their issues. Yet, it was the same. I also was insulted to see Lindsay Lohan on one cover. Although Christina Ricci, Christina (Xtina) and Avril Lavigne (cringe) had beautiful spreads. Evan Rachel Woods was brilliant. This is certainly a magazine that represents our generation of Chuck Palahniuk readers, metal, glam and retro rock, bohemian threads and patterns, designs and color to make a rainbow throw up.
But the concept is brilliant and sometimes bland.
But the blandness is purely intentional to convey realism rather than socialites or photoshopped goddesses, and finally a chance to realize celebrities are humans. They are/can be boring, filthy-mouthed, vulnerble and sometimes afraid of fame.
The theme is certainly a "I don't give a f*ck" while still giving a f*ck. They don't take fashion or celebrites or any of the above too seriously which makes the images, words and designs more meaningful and free, rather than restricting it in our Conde' Nast world of Vogue and Teen Vogue which only features high-end designers, daughters of wealthy or famous people and twigs with foundation on so much, you'd swear their faces weren't real.
Bravo NYLON. Just, have more intereting people in it.

 My all time favorite pop culture magazine. September 30, 2007

I have been reading this magazine since it's first issue with Liv Tyler on the cover and Helena Christensen photography scattered throughout. This has been one of the magazines I come back to time and again for interesting view points on different things. Throughout time they have evolved into a good magazine, but lately it seems they are more mainstream than they had been; but I won't complain because it is still one of the best magazines for women I can find (without all of those silly sex tips).
Pretty good, could be better. August 24, 2007
I've heard lots of complaints with Nylon subscriptions taking forever to arrive but I did receive my first issue within the first 6-8 weeks. Nylon's content has gone down the toilet lately. The writing can be pretty awful and it seems to feature a lot of the cool kids/Misshapes/Cobrasnake scene. But the fashion photography is magnificent and sometimes you can find a gem amidst the drivel.
