9. These magazines have grown to encompass so much more than fashion in many cases to
allow publishers to broaden their appeal to a much wider audience, while others stoically
cover fashion and fashion only.
Both Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar are similar as they targeted to New York’s social elite and
featured “news on the local social scene, tradition of high society, and social etiquette, they
also reviewed books, plays and music”. These two rival magazines are accused of one
another for copying ideas or styles as they are quite similar in content and design.
Vogue is very high-end and pitches its articles to a somehow older type of an audience, while
Elle is accessible to a wider range of people. Whereas, Harper's Bazaar is a fashion magazine
for women who demand the best. It contains high-profile designers, photos that reflect
different styles, and other high-brow fashion news. We can see those four magazine has
similar fashion sense and expectations but some with the same targeted audience and
different audience range as they are all competitive but want to show their difference.
