teen vogue

As a young magazine reader, this is amazing news! Yes, Vogue are launching a magazine for the younger audience. It’s going to be called ‘Miss Vogue’, and it will be released in May. (Image from Vogue)

I am really excited to see what it’s like, but I was thinking, what about Teen Vogue? Will it be for like 19-25 year olds, or will it be for girls who are just younger than a teen? Also will Teen Vogue be left out on the curb? I don’t know, anyway, here’s what Vogue had to say…

“All of us are really excited at the opportunity to create a slightly different Vogue for this readership,” said Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman. “We know how much that they love the magazine and so I wanted to produce something that would have bespoke content for a younger audience.”

I know Teen Vogue is American, but don’t you think their will be some kind of rivalry? I know it’s the same brand, and magazine, but I would find it hard to think that their are now two young magazines under one brand? I am really glad they’ve launched it, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see! *Fingers crossed that it comes to my local supermarket (Which is selling Teen Vogue at the moment!)*

What do you think? Do you think it will be better than Teen Vogue, or perhaps not as good? Are you excited? Leave a comment below to tell me what you think!

I am so glad I came across this post on the Guardian! I totally agree with these Teen Vogue readers.

Girls who read Teen Vogue, need to be encouraged to feel good in their natural skin. Seeing pictures of teen celebrities, air brushed and pampered, is not what they need to be seeing. Like the latest TV ads from Dove, about girl’s self esteem (Click the link for more info!), it shows that girls are worried about what people may think about how they look, and how they feel, and seeing people who look ‘perfect’, is not a great way of boosting their confidence. If you want to feel safe in their own skin, then models and teen celebrities should be natural to the public. Air brushing is a way of showing off no natural beauty, and covering up it all. Yes, the magazine companies want their magazine cover to look the best it can, but maybe it can look great without the Photo-shop editing!

I am totally on your side girls!
