M
Marie Claire
Really a beauty magazine, or, rather, that’s where its strength lies, Marie Claire has successfully branched out into other areas such as fashion, romance and sex.
Modette
Sweden has always been at the forefront of the dot-com world,
but its online fashion magazines have often been better for men
than women. Modette changes that: its a great site,
with plenty of free articles online on fashion and beauty
MyCompass.ca
A leading Canadian site run by our friends Ilona Kauremszky and
Stephen Smith, with first-hand accounts of international travel
(12/08)
P
Paper
No, we dont know why this wasnt listed earlier. It
has well written editorial, obviously ignoring the push by the
less intelligent to dumb down, and gives a great slice of fashion
life from its New York base
R
The Rake
By some margin our favourite men’s fashion and lifestyle title. Its features, which, like Lucire’s, have an appreciation of history and context, leave you feeling more knowledgeable—surely this is something that all magazines should achieve? The Rake sees the sartorial archetype as Cary Grant, presumably the later one of North by Northwest and Charade, and revels in its jet-set world, right down to foiled type on its print covers.

Vecko-Revyn
In essence, Sweden’s home-grown entry in the Cosmopolitan market: sections on fashion, sex, astrology, food and shopping
targeted at the woman who knows what she wants (which may include
a calendar with hunky men at the end of the year)
Critical thinking on fashion, with insightful long-form writing (including footnoted essays)—a world away from the clickbait of mass consumer titles (8/21)
Vogue
Needs no introduction, though online, they once did: Style.com, once the online home of Vogue, advertised right here on Lucire to let readers know they were coming. And when they came, there was no looking back, thanks to the power of Vogue's name
(re-reviewed 2/21)
W
