Print magazines are fighting back!

Category : ad campaigns

beyonce vogue cover

For the last two years print magazine are dying either from lack of readership, ad revenues or both, take examples like Domino, Business 2.o and Missbehave.

But I’ve got good news for all you mg hags – our  favorite print mags are fighting back! Or at least trying to.

Word from the grapevine is that :

“with a drop over 25% in ad revenue from print magazines last year, a group of prominent magazine publishers including Time Inc.,Hearst, Conde Nast, Meredith and Wenner Media are launching a jointly-funded $90 million dollar ad campaign to help convince readers, advertisers and shareholders of the “power of print.”  The 7-month campaign, developed with Y&R New York, is expected to roll out with lush color spreads in the May issues of nearly 100 print magazines and web sites with taglines such as “We Surf the Internet. We Swim in Magazines” and “Will the Internet Kill Magazines? Did Instant Coffee Kill Coffee?”

Well, well…we’ll see how that goes.

Oh c’est beau – Derek Lam Nadia Handbag

Category : introducing

We’re always going gaga overDerek lam Nadia fashion accessories and w’re presently loving the Derek Lam Handbag for its sheer simplicity and beauty.

The Nadia Leather Hobo, is a very clean and crisply designed brown leather hobo fit to wear to work, or for everyday running around. It’s not as loosely structured as many other hobos or carry -alls so it goes perfectly with an office attire, without sacrificing style.

The quality of the leather looks like it will just last forever, which makes sense because at $1,250.00 (at Saks) it should be one of those investment handbags you don’t look back on, not even if you have to move back in with your parents for missing the rent – at least you can look back and say it’s worth it, right?

We’re in high season – fashion weeks are taking place around us left right and center:- New York, London, Milan and Paris starts today.

All this buzz of whats hot, whats not, who’s in and who’s not can take a toll on a normal girl.

Best advice: Keep Calm and Carry On.  You dont have to be in the front rows to get first dibs on the runway looks.

Here’s our round up of the best online retailers that will wow you with their off the catwalk selection.


Shopbop -

A brickhouse of ready to wear and some luxury brands – the Lookbooks are MAJOR.

THE PLUS SIDE:

Always has the  most interesting and inspiring newsletters for the fashion hungry – I get it everyday, even on sundays, and I can seriosuly tell you guys that if I could set my iphone to a speacial alram when its an email from Shopbop – I would do it – thats just how excited I get.  They have the Alexander Wang Hobo and the Alexander Wang Suede Coco!

Net-A-Porter -

As you all know is now synonymous with luxury and fashion designers. If there is one e-commerce site that you can trust with your most precious purchases its them, and if you’re yet to order you be so surprised by thier over the top fancy pacakging. You know its like the cherry on the top.

THE PLUS SIDE:

They have an online magazine section to their website that is phenomenal - with spreads like “6 essential work pieces”. Functional and Fierce.

LVMH steps into “the Know” with NOWNESS

Category : fashion news

In an over-communicated world LVMH wants to cut through the clutter and bring you the “good goods”.

They have just recently launched NOWNESS, a website dedicated at introducing the Internet surfer to what they think are the finer things out there: as they put it –

“NOWNESS is an exciting new way to experience luxury lifestyle online, featuring daily content from the most respected and innovative creatives working today.”

The concept seems to be their answer to a brand blog that encompasses not one of their specific brands but the spirit of the group:- luxury, selectivity and exclusivity.  Many people are still buzzing on Twitter about the Rodarte Video or the new instatlaiton of a digital photo-gallery.

For some the website will remain sticky and replace one of the many places people look online for inspiration and fresh news, for others it will just pass under the radar as an attempt by one of the largest international companies to be more intimate and in touch with its consumers, dreamers and brand followers.
