This review is from: Nylon (Magazine)

I first picked up a copy of Nylon in Chicago, while browsing the newsstands. I wasn't sure if I would like it--years of subscribing to Vogue, Elle, and some stupid tweeny magazines had almost put me off magazine-reading for good. And yet I always manage to be drawn to the racks.

Nylon was different from the get go. They always feature unknowns on the cover, and when, on occassion, a well-known celebrity is featured, the stories give us a new perspective on them.

Nylon is worth purchasing for the layout in itself. I could spend hours paging through each feature, marveling at the graphics, and the way the magazine is put together. I love how they base some of the beauty section on famous movies or bands.

Nylon also makes a point of covering bands, movies, and fashion designers that, until now, have remained obscure. Everything they feature is amazing--most of the music they recommend ends up on my Amazon wishlist!

I would highly recommend Nylon to anyone and everyone. This obscure magazine will stun you with its amazing artistic layout, and introduce you to new products you may have never discovered.

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

This review is from: Nylon (Magazine)

My biggest complaint about the subscription service is that I ordered a subscription back in the beginning of April and have yet to receive a single issue. Being that it's now almost July, I find that kind of ridiculous. Amazon is now in the process of "investigating" the situation, but I know I'm not the only one that this has happened to. I've talked to others who have subscribed to Nylon (either directly through Nylon's website or through Amazon) and have had the same problems. Months later, still no magazine. I've also heard of a lot of people getting back issues instead of current issues in the mail. This has happened twice within the past year that I know of. Had I known about these things before I ordered the subscription, I would not have bothered.

The other complaint would have to be that the content seems to be going downhill a lot lately. True, it has a very cool layout and it seems vastly different from other fashion magazines, but I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with their choice in cover girls lately... May was Lindsay Lohan, July is Nicole Richie. I suppose I would just hope that a magazine that is thought of as more of an alternative could come up with more interesting people to interview. I'm actually kind of sad that I bothered with the subscription after all... if I wanted to read about Lindsay Lohan (which I don't) I could go to the grocery store and pick up any number of other magazines that talk endlessly about her and her party pals. Surely there are more talented, interesting people within the fashion world to interview.
