I have been waiting all of July for the first week of August to roll around, not only so I could shop, but for the much anticipated ‘September Issues’ – the month of the year (together with March to a lesser extent) where fashion mags come alive and issues are likened to the yellow pages in terms of thickness and weight.
Last year’s hit fashion film, ‘The September Issue’ followed US Vogue’s Editor in Chief Anna Wintour as she and her team put together the September issue for 2008 – an epic ‘book’ filled with beautiful fashion spreads, photography and advertising.
This month’s Aussie glossies are not quite the doorstoppers of US Vogue (though I do plan a trip to MagNation for the September issue of US Vogue), but they are impressive in their content.
So far I have procured Marie Claire, Vogue, Russh and Harper’s Bazaar, together with the Harper’s Bazaar Collections Autumn Winter 10/11 special additional magazine. (If you didn’t get this mag with your purchase of Harper’s, additional copies can be purchased here).
It has taken me over a week to get through Marie Claire – an epic 427 pages – and I look forward to reading Harper’s Bazaar next, hopefully spending many hours in front of the open fire at Mt Hotham this weekend drooling over the must haves of the coming season.
Madison is also a hit this month, although this one may have to wait and see how I am going for time (and money) towards the end of the month!
I’d love to hear about which is your fave glossy this month. Are you a fan of the Vogue fashion spreads? Or the Marie Claire 15th birthday special? Let me know!
I love the September issue of Vogue Australia, because of the beautiful Catherine McNeil, and the new Instyle magazine for stocking all the pieces we stock at our boutique! Also the special fashion edition in the latest Harpers
I have to go with Marie Claire but I’m biased ‘cos I’m actually in it this month!
I did flick through Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue briefly but need to revisit and really devour them before I pass judgement…
So far my purchases include:
• September Madison
• September Shop till you Drop
• and more to come!
HEART fashion mags x
I am totally loving Harpers Bazaar this month!!! But are extremely tempted to get Vogue as well. But I must admit I’m looking forward to getting the September issue of the US Vogue when i get there!!!
