nylon magazine
this magazine is really good for people who have unique style and it was a little different than what i expected. that may be because it was the music issue but still im not sure if all the clothing is my style. I wish i would have known a little more about the magazine before i bought it but i still like it so its good!

Dissapointed
I had flipped through this magazine and liked the trendy fashion. But as every issue came I found it to be heavily Anglo and white centric. The year I had subscribed the models were all white and blond most of the time. The London issue was only from a white perspective and didn't even go into the diversity in fashions from all types of people and ethnic neighborhoods that make London so awesome. Then there was the latest issue I received that had a whole article and spread on Nikey that was basically a huge advertisement ( about 6 pages of it). Not for me. Bust is funner.

Pro-Con List
PRO: Nylon is a visual feast. Just looking through it is highly stimulating and inspiring from a design/artistic point of view. The lay-out is clean, fresh, and unique. There is a big emphasis on indie/alternative art, film, music, fashion, and literature. I found Nylon through a long internet search for an intelligent, artistic womens' mag, and it is just that.

CONS: NY-LON stands for New York and London respectively, which gives one a big hint about the target audience. Heh heh. I live in middle America, and I don't have access to the kind of brands, restaurants, bars, shops, etc. so touted by this magazine. One issue was exclusively centered around London... yeah, I can really relate. Not. Magazines like Seventeen are MUCH better about featuring merchandise and content applicable to females of every socio-economic background and location.

IN CONCLUSION: In my opinion, the positives highly outweigh the negatives. I don't regret subscribing. I always love getting my Nylon in the mail. Get this magazine if you want to subscribe to a girl magazine, but you don't want to go the usual cosmo, vogue, 17 route.

Never hated hipsters more
I got this free the other day and I've been having a hard time getting through it. Expensive fashion and makeup, with some articles on music that focus on the band members' preference for skinny jeans. British cosmetic brands they wish were available here? Hotels with great spas? I'm not sure who the target audience is.

Eh.
After reading a few of these I realized that Nylon is just a rich hipster kid reference manual.
