Nylon Cover: Looking Pretty

Sit up and get over Zac Efron being on Teen Vogue cover (sorry to mention this again & again, but I have personal issue -couldn't even face the person at the cash register when I bought it ;p). Nylon October issue is looking pretty with Zooey Deschanel on the cover. Straight after the TV issue in September, this month issue would be the It Girl issue featuring Daisy Lowe, Alexa Chung, Coco Rocha, Abigail Lorrick, Lou Doillon, Geldof sisters and Kennedy sisters.

Good start & we'll see if it lives up to the expectation.

Teen Vogue: Young Hollywood Issue

"Don't judge a book by its cover." Yet I still can't get over my disappointment to see Zac Efron on Teen Vogue Young Hollywood issue.

My reasons:

1. Young Hollywood issue should give the spotlight to the fresh, new talented faces.
Zac Efron is a bit 2006 and erm, overrated?

2. Teen Vogue's readers are mostly female (91%). We would like to see someone, preferably female, who we can aspire to from the Young Hollywood issue. Or probably someone who has an enviable fashion style.

3. Vanessa, Zac Efron one issue after another? Doesn't look right to me. Talking about Disney Invansion.


So when I picked up my copy, I immediately jumped to the Editor's Letter, demanding a good explanation why Zac Efron is in the cover.

What I found: Nada. Not a single word about Zac Efron is mentioned.
Instead Amy Astley decidated a paragraph about Kat Dennings & her upcoming movie.
"Rising star Kat Dennings... Starring alongside Juno's Michael Cera in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, one of fall's smartest comedies."



Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist also scored two-page advertorial, courtesy of Teen Vogue Chic Clique.

The article titled "Everybody Loves Zac", told us about his upcoming projects and the attention he gets from paparazzi, that Zac hasn't quite got used to.

The Young Hollywood stars includes the boys from 90210 (Dustin Milligan certainly looks amazingly good compared to his role in "In the Land of Women" (2007)), Selena Gomez, Eleanor Tomlinson (Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging) and Harry Threadaway.

Overall, the issue has not much to be excited about (unless you're a fan of Zac Efron, then squeal excitedly for the photoshoot).
I've got a feeling I have seen the fashion spread somewhere sometime ago.
Good effort for the snippets on new TV series - The Privileged, 90210, True Blood (vampire reigns) and Fringe.


And lastly, I'm a bit over the fact that Teen Vogue often put 'people with the top-end connection'. The article "Super Fan" is about Colby Jordan, Philip Lim's luckiest interns.


How did she get the internship? Her mother's friend, who happened to be the president of Bergorf Goodman, called Philip Lim and tada, she's got an internship.

Inspiring...not.

Hopefully they would not put less this kind of tale in the upcoming Fashion at Work issue.

Fashion Journal #87

Alright, if you are asking, when is she actually gonna talk about 'real' magazine? Bear with my current obsession with free magazines, because there's quite a few exciting ones circulating right now. And I'm lovin' it.


Fashion Journal is a regular free fashion mag distributed around Australia. It mainly features a vast range of Australian designers & labels, but there's also some international . So if you're after something fresh & edgy, it's fun to flick through this street mag.


The content of the magazine is quite standard - (about) 50 pages dedicated to a mix of fashion spread, beauty products review, interview with people in the fashion industry and snapshots of events going on around Australia.

In this issue, FJ talks to Glenn Coleman of Nana Judy, actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and the band Dirty Laundry. Some names that probably you're not familiar as yet, but it's worth noticing.

Although it's a street mag and some people think street mags are filled with crap, FJ fashion spread proves that great amount of serious effort goes into the production.

FJ is not a gender-specific mag, there's a nice combination of articles for her and for him.
What's not to love?

My advice is to grab them quick because usually there's none left within first week after its distribution.
