Rating: - An ok fashion mag
I gave this magazine only 3 stars for a few reasons. It does have its good points so I'll start with those first:

- Excellent detail to trends and specifically accessories. A lot of other magazines only give these minimal amount of coverage.
- Good coverage as far as fashion show lines and drawing trends from them.

But that's as much as I can say. I don't subscribe to Elle anymore, but would reconsider if they improved the following:

Rating: - Used to better but still good
I have subscribed to Elle for nearly 20 years and I have seen it change in recent years into more of a In Style type mag. There is increasing focus on celebrities, with one on every cover.

Rating: - Worth Adding to Your Collection
OK we KNOW that you have all the "fashion" magazines already or you wouldn't be checking out this review.

They post great suggestions on undiscovered quality literary finds, recognize ... Read More

Rating: - One of the best
Elle sits somewhere between Vogue, Allure, and Marie Claire, without Vogue's coldness or narcissistic qualities, and Allure's sometimes vapid and repetitive articles about make-up trends, and with articles that are a bit more intelligent at times than Marie Claire's. I like the fact that Elle also features an "Eco" or "Green" issue that supports and gives recognition to organic cosmetics, etc.

Rating: - Another OK glossy magazine
On one level Elle is a lot better than Vogue, it has more in the way of intelligent articles but this can work against it because Elle is known for its fashion, the photography is pretty good (not as good as Vogue mind)and some of the fashion that Elle is advertising could be afforded by the ordinary woman in the street, which cannot be said for what Vogue puts on its glossy pages; I mean come on, how many of us can afford the top brand designer labels like Prada? Not many of us that is for sure!
