 Beautiful Pictures!, August 4, 2008
|

What else could you do to this magazine to make it better? Nothing! It's one of those perfect works of art that just happens to be a magazine.
The paper it's printed on, the photos, the articles. All perfect. I love the way it feels....It's a winner and also a collectible. Just can't say enough about it.

Decent enough for an American mag, March 6, 2008
|
|

Now of course with most/all American "fashion" magazines, big emphasis on the parentheses, this one can tend to exploit celebrities instead of fashion but compared to its competitors it has many positives. First of all, it's huge! This magazine is great for looking at ads that are normally so much smaller in others and is terribly delicious to consume (visually of course). Everyone wants bigger TVs, computers, cars, so why not your fashion magazine? Second, this IS NOT Elle! Here you will find edgier, higher fashion that suites the desires of people with a real taste in fashion. And for those of you who give this one star for being scandalous or having "ridiculous and expensive clothing that no one would ever wear"; what the heck are you doing reading a fashion magazine?! That's kind of what it's all about and if you're not comfortable with that go read Seventeen.

 Scandalous, February 24, 2008

I'm a fashion student at Parsons school of design and have obviously been exposed to a variety of fashion magazines. I've been a reader of W for several years now and have watched it's level of controversy rise from edgy and risque to pornographically obscene. I was going through the current issue's fashion coverage while sitting on a train, and came across the most meretricious, vile and pornographic advertisment for Tom Ford's sunglasses line. I was completely shocked that censors would let such a sexually graphic image pass in a somewhat mainstream fashion mag. It was literally hard-core pornography (i'm not exaggerating)and i was embarressed to have come across this ad while sitting next to other people in a public place.I own hundreds of magazines and have yet to see such stupidity on the editor's part. I am no longer going to purchase W and i hope that the magazine's directors will have more sense and discretion in the future.

 Review of W Magazine, January 22, 2008

I've looked at this magazine intermittently over the last few years and found this issue much thinner than I expected. Perhaps future issues will have more articles per issue.

One of the Best Magazines!, January 14, 2008

I subscribe to lots of magazines but my favorite are W, Vanity Fair and Departures (you need a Platinum or Centurion American Express card to get it). Why do I like it so much? First, the articles about arts are my favorite. The photography is top quality, but if you are a bible thumper or a Republican than you probably will be offended a few times a year. This magazine is aimed at people with lots of disposable income and who are well educated and of a more liberal constitution. Sure they push the envelope now and then buy hey, they cover runway shows that do the same thing. I also enjoy the product reviews. This is where I learned first about SKII skincare - my favorite. I usually don't read the celebrity cover stories - most of those people in my opinion are boring. It is the profiles of designers, artists etc. that I enjoy.
