 WORTH THE PRICE March 15, 2005

What do fine dining, high fashion, celebrities, beauty tips, travel, exceptional photography, and entertainment all have in common? They can be found in W magazine. A magazine of women's interests, W is a huge publication measuring approximately 9" X 13". Which is one reason I like it, it's like getting a magazine from the 1940's with 21st century fashions. I would put it in the same category as Vogue. Anyone will love viewing W., but it's not hard to figure out who it's mainly aimed at, especially when you occasionally see jewelry priced between $20,000 and $200,000, and when you notice who some of the advertisers are, namely Prada, Calvin Klein, and Armani.W also has superb photography, photography that borders on Art. I have a subscription and share it with family and friends, then place it in my collection( I collect magazines ).
If you like magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bizarre, you are sure to love this fine publication.

I don't look at this magazine and go "boy I can't WAIT to read the atricles inside!". Instead, when I buy it I look for the advertisements. I love the oversized pages and the photography is wonderful. I have the walls of my room adorned in ads from this magazine. They are splinded. The articles however are lacking a little. They are almost impossible to find because there are so few, and the ones they do have are just pointless.

This magazine is the absolute best around for fashion. It hits every huge and upcoming trend way before it comes out. A lot of people seem to be griping about how expensive everything is and how you can only be a millionaire to dress like that. However I love this magazine not for the fact that its chock full of expensive designer clothes, but for the styles and fantastic outfits themselves. There are a million ways to use ideas from this magazine and work them into your wardrobe. There are plenty of cheaper options like vintage clothing stores and customizing sale items- all to get the coveted designer look that W illustrates with absolute perfection. I'm a poor college student and even though I'm not in fashion design, I use W all the time and make clothes that are deadringers for alot of the ones featured in W. I even used a couple dresses in this very magazine and copied them into two different prom dresses. Its suprisingly more simple than one would think. This magazine is an essential for me. The rest of them can not and will not ever be able to measure up to W, because W has the inside connections to show you (in gigantic glossy spreads neverless!)whats hot before it hits mainstream- and I don't mean small town mainstream, I mean beating the styles and having them before they even reach a mall and lightyears before they turn into a hoochie-craze (a la "LV" mukrami bags!) and fake Tiffany's silver. If you are a young woman who loves to call the trends before anyone else, do yourself a favor and pick up this magazine. I guarentee you that if you keep an open mind- it will be one of your best buys yet.

W has the best layouts of any mainstream fashion magazine today - they are creative and often quite wacky. It's not that their content is different from any other magazine, but the presentation is unique. Apart from the aesthetics of the fashion spreads, this magazine is pretty much like all the others. If you want visual inspiration, this is a great magazine. If you are looking for good reading or fascinating articles, don't buy it.

I guess if you're one of those lucky people who has more money and time than they know what to do with, W is for you. This magazine focuses mostly on rich people, the clothes they buy, and the parties that they attend. I'm not just talking celebrities, either. If that was the case, then perhaps W would be onto something. But no... W prefers to devote at least half their articles to spotlighting people like Eugino Lopez, "heir to the vast Jumex juice fortune." And then they tell us about their beachfront properties, glittering social circles, and $1,700 Louis Vuitton Murakami purses. I don't know about you, but anyone who is willing to pay that much for something that looks like an embossed leather Hot Pocket isn't worth paying $4.50 to read about.
