Teen Vogue

Astley, Amy. Teen Vogue. Conde Nast Publications, 2003-2010. ASIN: B000K0YFW4.

Plot
Teen Vogue is published ten times a year. Its purpose is to bring a version of Vogue to a younger generation. It reviews up and new coming fashions as well as reviews of celebrities and social elite who are sporting daring styles. It also contains fashion and shopping tips so that readers can recreate looks they see in the magazine on their own.

Critical Evaluation
Teen Vogue are for teens that are very serious and interested in the world of high fashion. The clothes and styles they feature are unique and daring, but they are not the type of look that a teen would wear everyday. Also, although they do give shopping tips, they tend to be more expensive in comparison to the suggestions found in Seventeen. It does contain articles that deal with school issues, but they are sparse. It depends on the personal taste of the teen whether they would appreciate this magazine.

Reader's Annotation
Teen Vogue is a teenager's guide to high fashion and styles.
