The Genteel
Finally, a website that doesn’t shy away from more in-depth articles analysing trends and the phenomena behind fashion. A smarter read than most

Lucire
Admittedly we’re biased. For those who have surfed here via our corporate site, this page is brought to you by Lucire—JY&A Media’s fashion webzine for today’s woman. We try to offer a fresh perspective on fashion, travel and lifestyle globally. We’re also here as a lightning-rod for new talent—because to get in to Lucire you need merit, not big marketing budgets. We haven’t awarded ourselves the highest mark, but then again we’re never satisfied—leading us to keep improving the magazine. Go to our home page to find out more or click here to subscribe to the print edition.

GQ
Print-wise, the US edition is the ultimate in men’s style. When American GQ did a lengthy profile on supermodel Daniela Pestova, the British one asked if she was wearing any pants. So we recommend the American one, with a balance of style, accessories, sport, food, technology and relationships. Oh, and the occasional scantily clad cover girl.

Gunpowder
Targeting the luxury sector, Gunpowder deals with culture, design, fashion, food, travel and motoring. New for 2008

Harper’s Bazaar
A promising start to Bazaar’s recovery under Glenda Bailey; the first sign was the “new old” masthead. While the web presence isn’t as strong, the magazine is growing again. Follow the latest in fashion. Subscribe through Lucire Newsstand by clicking here.

Iconique
Where fashion meets style. We love the Flash graphics, the sound, even the ‘Welcome to Iconique.com’ announcement. Various catwalk shows are profiled in the Style section. This international site is impressive and energetic

iluvkoshi.com
Started by a former assistant at the WB, who decided that fashion illustration and styling were more her thing, iluvkoshi.com contains fun graphics (you know a boring geek didn’t design this), editorial and shopping. We love this site: it has real character

Luxury Fashion
Based in New York and Florida, this former portal turned into a fully fledged fashion magazine for 2002. There’s a stronger dose of celebrity style news which should win it friends. Art, travel and gossip complement a good mixture of traditional fashion and catwalk stories
 

M

Maxim US
The print mag, started by a Brit, features clothes, accessories, beer, sport and gadgets—not to mention the scantily clad model or celebrity. The US web site offers the same in digested form. A printed version of what resides in the male psyche. Subscribe through Lucire Newsstand by clicking here.
