Recommended: Comparison between two different magazines

I am an education major but I wanted to step out my major and do my review on fashion websites. The two websites I choose were www.allure.com and www.teeenvogue.com. I choose the two websites because they have popular magazines. Allure.com has Allure Magazine and teenvogue.com has Teen Vogue Magazine. Although I am not a big fashion person, I wanted to step outside the box a little. This was my first time going on these two websites.

Allure is a website that is popular among many teens and adults from all around the world. It covers a broad variety of topics from hair and makeup to the hottest celebrity gossip. It is a great website for learning about the new advances in skin and hair care that are making their way into consumer products. Also, you can learn new makeup application tips and techniques. It has plenty of the Hollywood stuff, but who does not like to read about other people’s lives? It has interesting articles on fashion and helps you achieve all the latest trends. Even someone with the most boring sense of style can quickly turn heads. I think that the audience for this website is for hair and makeup junkies or fabulous teeny boppers looking to find themselves an identity.

Allure is for savvy women who wants to be in the know. It keeps the readers informed of all the absolute latest in fashion styles and how to wear them. It shows the trendiest of clothes as well as the classics. What bag is hot? Are these shoes right for you? How should I wear last year's sweater with this year's dress? Where do I get these great finds? You can find out all this on the Allure website. Allure website also reviews products from its readers and has articles and how to dos to help readers make the decisions that are just right f...

...e wearing. A lot of the clothes adverted on the website is overpriced and often do not have enough thread on them to cover the young girl’s backs. Skimpy clothes seem to be the style but should not even be thought of in our young children’s mind. If you are not an aspiring fashion designer generally this magazine is not for you.

In conclusion, both of these websites are good for certain groups of people. It depends on which category you fall under. One website might be good for the older, mature generation while the other focuses on members of the younger generation who are still trying to find themselves and their fashion sense. There is something for everyone in each of them. They are good reads and you can always find out good information in them. Allure is more for the everyday girl, while on the other end, Teen Vogue is more for the future fashion designers.

  • Hot Topic: Everything About The Music

    1890 Words  | 4 Pages

    Their reputation as the go-to place for alternative youth culture may come from the line of clothing they offer, but it also stems from their specialized staff and website. Hot Topic works hard at hiring people who can portray the store's cutting edge image. Because of this effort, the staff is able to offer advice for how to wear or use any item the store carries. Their website is also a source for advice on how to put the whole look together as well as stay abreast of the newest fads in fashion. In addition to clothing, Hot Topic also carries a specialized selection of music, magazines, toys, shoes, accessories, and novelty items. One of their greatest strengths is their ability to cater to any "fashion fad".

  • Abercrombie and Fitch

    587 Words  | 2 Pages

    In a second attempt to further expand the company horizons, an e-commerce site was created. This site is interesting because its main focus is not the clothing but the “lifestyle”. Upon entering the Abercrombie and Fitch website, the first thing the consumer sees is a half naked man, sprawled on the ground, eating a plate full of fruit. It is just to be inferred that he is wearing Abercrombie and Fitch clothing. This just shows how the image of Abercrombie is much more important than the clothing itself. The site itself is bright and summery. The attitude is carefree, active and sexy. Maneuvering ones way around this website is relatively easy. The links include Lifestyle, A&F TV, A&F Quarterly (the magazine/catalogue), Company, and Shop A&F. Other links include, music, movies, downloads, postcards, photos, and “hot” sites. The website seems to be almost completely focused on drawing the consumer into the lifestyle of Abercrombie and Fitch. The information the company gives is very limited. For example, throughout the entire website, there is not one mention of a company mission statement, yet there is a plethora of information about the company’s financial standings.

  • Negative Body Image In Marge Piercy's Barbie Doll

    Fashion is a constantly changing industry; what is trendy one day is outdated the next. The 21st century has been a catalyst for a large movement in fashion. Paris, New York, and London are some of the main contributors to the fashion industry (“Fashion Capitals”). Along with being the main influences in fashion, they have significantly connected the world on a global level. Even on a local level, students and young adults indulge in fashion as a way to express themselves. Some people may argue that fashion helps express one’s imagination; however, fashion has become one of the major influences that promotes an unrealistic image of women that is detrimental to their bodies. This unrealistic image can lead to health problems, a negative body image, and a society based on appearances which is disadvantageous to our culture as a whole.

  • Teen Clothing Ads: Ethical and Effective?

    556 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is evident that today’s advertisements for teen clothing are neither healthy, nor ethical, to use as a way to attract teen consumers; however, companies are getting away with this behavior, because their effective and inappropriate advertisements are merely innuendos. The modern label placed on teens is said to be the primary contender for the cause of eating disorders, suicide, bullying, and depression. Fortunately, groups of teens are getting together to put an end to these unethical advertisements and the messages the ads give off to teens; because of their efforts, the amount of effect that advertisements have on teens now, may dramatically plummet sometime in the near future. In my opinion, it is crucial that us teens make a profound alteration to the way teen merchandise is advertised, which in turn will end the knavish behavior of clothing companies, and cease our judgmental society.

    ...ce their inceptions over 20 years ago, both InStyle and Allure magazines have secured themselves a place in the women’s magazine market. They have both demonstrated that they have an authority and influence in the fashion and beauty industries. In spite of these similarities the magazines went about their success in different manners. Through creating the world’s first beauty magazine, Allure gained its success by obtaining a niche market and offering an original product. On the other hand, InStyle took an existing model of a fashion magazine and expanded it to reach a greater demographic by including trends at all price points. Both these magazines took innovative measures to create a success in an over flooded market and they have continued to secure a readership by adapting to new media and positioning themselves as must-have guides to insider beauty and fashion.

    Fashion is a style, which changes along with time. Fashion is mainly valued by females. Girls are always on the run to the mall to buy new stuff, which suits the new fashion. Whenever, something new comes to the mall, which is related to the fashion, girls will certainly crave this item. Fashion has changed as time passes but the girls will always crave clothing that is related to the current fashion. For example, in this collage a person shows that females like fancy shoes and heels. However, males are not addicted to fashion. Males are never interested in going to mall; they feel that this is boring. Males are more interested in formal clothing such as suits rather than buying fashionable clothing. For example, in this collage a person put a picture of a suit, which is not part of the newer fashion. Males understand that clothing is just a materialistic joy. This knowledge has helped boys stay away fro...
