Content:
Teen Vogue is published on a monthly basis except for in December/January and June/July. The magazine states that they are a "cultural catalyst for a new generation of influential teens and young women." The magazine, modeled after Vogue magazine, contains topics about fashion, beauty, celebrities and popular culture that are of primary interest to older teens. Also included in the November issue I reviewed was an article against smoking, even if only once and a while. A magazine subscription is only $10 per year with discounts given for subscribing for multiple years.
Personal Thoughts: This magazine is exactly as it appears, a fashion and beauty magazine aimed at teenagers and young adults. Though I wouldn't be surprised to see a tween reading a copy as 1) they can still relate to the topics and 2) it paints a glamorous picture of how they want to be as they grow older. Knowing this don't be surprised at the large, large, large amounts of advertising included in each issue. The first eleven pages in the November issue were ALL advertisements. If your worried about your tween wanting to dress "too adult" you may want to rethink giving them this magazine. While the magazine does stress trendiness and shopping, there are a few good topics discussed as well. For example there were articles about plus modeling and staying away from cigarettes. For the fashion crazy teens and young adults, this is the magazine for them.
