Elle Elle USA
Arguably the more commodified edition of the many we've seen around the world. However, it is one of the bulkiest, thanks to the ad market Stateside plus some useful reporting. You can subscribe through Lucire Newsstand by clicking here.

Web sites: US | Czech Rep.

 

FHM FHM
Not the pioneer of the lads’ mag but one of the most popular. Looks a bit sterile these days but then again most readers aren’t interested in the graphics. Or the articles. You can subscribe through Lucire Newsstand by clicking here.

Addictlab
Based in Brussel, a collective of artists and an online gallery. Independent artists can submit and upload work to Addict’s Addictlab for publication

 

Annabelle
Switzerland's leading online fashion magazine and once one of our ‘Editor’s picks’. It had always been cutting-edge when it came to the design, but repositioned itself as a portal one year—and now is a subscription site for the print edition with archives (login required). In German | Content 6  Design 8

 

Angelic Indulgence
A great webzine from Angela Braden, who filled in as Lucire’s beauty editor in 2006. At the time of writing, Angela does prize draws from her email list of luxury beauty and spa items

 

Anokhi

Up-to-date pictorials of local fashion shows, growing lists of fashion designers, designer shops, nightclubs, upcoming events and quality photographers, as well as a comprehensive fashion links’ page | Content 9   Design 7

 

The Business of Fashion
Imran Amed links fashion and business together: for those who want solid items on how fashion companies start up or news from the fashion–business end, this is the place to go

 

c

C&C Magazine
Spanish magazine on personal image, including beauty and hair trends. A good information source; the cover tells you what's been added

 

Canvas Magazine
UK-based magazine with fashion, shopping and entertainment info

 

The Celebrity Café
One of the internet’s longest-running celebrity-interest sites

 

Chatelaine
In print, our favourite Canadian women's mag and the web site is vastly improved since its first incarnation. Good sense of community-building, including numerous chatrooms. One of the better transplants and one of Canada's leading fashion sites. Your choice of English or French

 

Cheek
A new-for-2007 Canadian fashion magazine with some very nice shoots

 

Claudia Brasil
For the modern independent woman. Claudia's Brazilian edition has items on fashion, news, relationships and home since it turned into a portal folded into the UOL domain (like a Ministry of Web Sites!). In Portuguese | Content 9   Design 7

 

Cosmetic Connection
Unbiased reviews of cosmetic information and advice from this long-running site (suggested by Glamourati on the Lucire forum)

 

CosmopolitanCosmopolitan Deutschland
The German counterpart to the well-known magazine. If you can read the language, you’ll find this site to be more cohesive than its American sister, with better design and useful content
 

d

Dazed & Confused
The cool counterpart to the equally cool print magazine. Redesigned completely since our last review (August 1999) to take advantage of Flash technology. We're sure this must rocket down a broadband line in England but it takes longer to load elsewhere. Worth looking at for coolness’s sake | Content 8  Design 10

 

Dejour
New for 2008, nicely presented men’s fashion magazine

 

Det Nye
A transplant site with a huge archive of articles on beauty, fashion and culture. Vastly improved since we first reviewed it. It's taken on a portal style as so many European entrants have

 

Dirrty Glam
French urban fashion magazine, issued monthly and Flash-based

 

Dot Com Women
A very active women’s portal, with information on work, lifestyle, fashion, homemaking, health, parenting and crafts. A lot of people have attempted this market but Dot Com Women is one of the few that succeed without losing that vital ingredient: sincerity. Pop by and you’ll see what we mean

 

Dresscode Online
Austrian site with fashion, beauty and entertainment news

 

Dresslab
Very heavy on the Flash animation and graphics, so be patient. Issues vary greatly. The first time we went, there was good music and sound and the Play feature, where you could dress an online mannequin, was a clever interactive experience. The latest issue (as at December 2002) was less easy to navigate. A “watch this space” site that can be ahead of its time
 

e

Easy Green Living
Green lifestyle ’zine based in New Zealand and founded by our friend Rebecca Purdy

 

Eliza
Los Angeles-based quarterly fashion magazine with a more real-world, quality emphasis, sold across the US

 

Elle animation Elle
Our competitor has some really good points, including the fact they can be quicker than us with the runway photos. En français | Content 8  Design 9

 

Elle Korea
These are such brilliant folks. We’ve had the pleasure of dealing with Hachette’s Korean outpost at Elle and found that they are people who keep their word—as well as putting together a fine title. Online, it’s updated regularly, though the cover can be a bit commercial for western eyes. In Korean

 

Elle Sverige
Sweden’s edition is one of the better ones, thanks largely to Hachette’s investment in online media in that country. Very faithful stylistically to the print edition—right down to the extra-light custom version of Futura—without subscription demands getting in the way. Clean, capitalizing on the knowledge from Hachette’s men’s magazine, Magazine Café

 

Elle Taiwan
Chinese-language edition of Elle. From what we can tell, the content is shared with the Hong Kong and communist Chinese online editions of Elle (one China, three Elles), the latter with the simplified character set. Useful content, reviews

 

Esquire Digital Czech Republic
Feels a little less upmarket compared to the slick US edition: in fact, a little—dare we say it—laddish. But still professionally executed and it’s not hard to see why it appeals to men. The Czech market is more liberal than the American one, and the magazine appeals to that

 

Everything Style
Helmed by Shae Acopian Detar, this is a delightful fashion site with street style and catwalk reviews

 

Expressen: Modenloggen
The fashion blog at Swedish newspaper Expressen, overseen by Cecilia Blankens

 

f

Fashionologie
An excellent American blog which gives a good round-up of what’s going on in the industry, including some behind-the-scenes goss

 

FashionOffice
Formerly Fashion Navigator and a.k.a. Fashion.at, in English and German, Fashion.at covers the Austrian fashion and style scene. Marks for comprehensiveness

 

Fashionpuppe
Anna Frost’s fun, personal blog covering fashion from her base in Bochum, Germany

 

FashionTribes
A fun blog with catwalk reports and accessories

 

Fashion Worlds
An attractive blog-driven site focusing on fashion designers, their histories and their influences | Content 10  Design 8

 

Flare
Canada’s fashion monthly, with features, beauty tips, directory and contests. Thankfully facelifted in 1999 from a disappointing site into one which makes you want to read not only the articles online but subscribe to the print edition
