Vogue Post

It was once said that ‘if all other fashion magazines disappeared, fashion will continue to thrive as long as there is vogue.’ I wonder why the world including me seems so in awe and inspired by this magazine. I decide to strike up the infamous question but change the question slightly from what item you think you would most need on a desert island, to what magazine you would most earn for. Such a question always provokes a heated debate between practicality and luxury. So when I asked my friends, I could bet money on their answers ranging from Glamour to Heat magazine, convincing myself that young adults would strive for any chance to see a glimpse of the gossip columns back at home.

I was mostly shocked by their determinate answers that were made without even giving a delayed pause of thought, shout out a newspaper, which to them seemed an obvious choice. The impression I had of a dessert island was in my bikini, lying on my stomach reading ‘Vogue’. It was then I stared at each of them for a few minutes waiting for their mouths to break into a smirk and think twice about their answers but no there faces were serious. The way a person answers questions like this one can pretty much sum up their personality even measure intelligence. I was now extremely confused that my desperation to read something thrilling and enchanting could be seen as shallow. Was now a good time to admit I had an undying love for vogue?

Everything about this magazine seemed to fluster them. Even its physical appearance, of gloss and thick plentiful pages seemed to represent Vogue to be selfish. I began to wonder if they only saw this magazine as ceebrating emaciated bodies that made ‘heroin chic’ cool and valued wealth.

However a fresh issue of vogue can give me butterflies, as I get ready to be charmed into a subnormal world. Vogue is like a fairytale book where expensive clothes and secret fashion parties become attainable. Vogue is not only a magazine but also a textbook that holds so much power; its words can seem as valuable as gold dust. Inventing and setting trends that can affect the public’s attitudes and identity from the way movie stars dress to how normal pedestrians do is a massive reasonability. Vogue can cleverly intertwine art, politics and food with fashion so not only does it sell clothes but an entire lifestyle.

My family have always made fun of me for using a bookmark when reading vogue, it is only so I can take the time to escape into each page. This fashion magazine differs from the others as it not only makes the reader fashion savvy but also lets you become educated and able to stay in sync with the world’s current cultures.
