Vogue

Female magazines fit all categories and don’t aim to offend any particular type of woman. When analyzing Vogue, this is a magazine that touches the hearts of everyone. Making the reader somewhat feel I can’t be apart of this. However I can fantasize about it. In the late film “The September Issue” focusing on Anna Wintour the chief editor of the US Vogue, believes people are threatened by fashion. Saying “Fashion is a way of life”. Females in this position of the hierarchy are perceived, as I hate to say it but “Ball Breakers”.  ” The problem for men is that to be more like women in anyway public or personal is to accept a downgrading of status in social and sexual terms and risk being seen as less of a man on both fronts. The situation is different for women. For a woman to be more culturally masculine as many women are and want to be, implies some upgrading of social status”. (Minsky. R 2003).

Vogue is an empowering magazine. It lets you be who you want to be, dream of being. It’s a luxurious piece of art.  “Freud’s psychoanalytical theory, hovering between natural and human science, see’s identity in terms of the unconscious negotiation of painful feelings of loss and desire in relation to a complicated web of social or cultural constraints but never solely determined by them”. (Minsky. R 2003). The photography of the magazine has elements of feminine and masculine. It’s another form of feminism. Women are strong as men. Using certain hidden messages in order to keep the reader interested. The fashion is very over the top and majority of the population wouldn’t even consider ever been seen out wearing the couture. But it also shows a side to a woman to leave their comfort zone and embrace being a woman.
