START to FASHION MAGS

THE BEGINING OF FASHION MAGAZINES

An important part of the fashion industry is the fashion magazines. The fashion magazines can be a fashion designers bible and an in-look to the upcoming fashions. 

At the commencement of the 20th century, fashion magazines began to include photographs of various fashion designs and these people began to become more influential. These magazines were greatly desirable and had a weighty influence on public clothing taste. Artistic illustrators drew wonderful fashion plates for the magazines which had the most up to date fashion and beauty. 

Vogue was founded in the United Sates in 1892; it is the most successful fashion magazines. In the 1960s Vogue invested in colour printing which led to a huge boost in sales. This set the Haute couture designers to start a trend by designing ready-to-wear and perfume lines so they could advertise in the magazines. 

Fashion television coverage began in the 1950s with small fashion features. In the 1960s and 1970s, fashion segments on various entertainment shows became more frequent. Even with television and increasing internet coverage, fashion magazines coverage remains the most important form of publicity in the eyes of the fashion industry.

Over the past few years fashion websites have taken traditional writing and put it into online magazines. These magazines are sold via digital copies on the internet and on formats to be read on iPod’s, iPad’s and android. This way of reading magazines is coming more and more popular.
