This article is so on point. Instead of saving the issue, I quickly read it and then tossed it. So much less for posterity.

Finally I found my source for smart Fashion Journalism, thanks to Marylin. Bravo and Merci! As a 34 year old women nothing bores me more than the same young, ‘perfect’ faces in the Magazins. Channels like Style Like you, Ladies of Madison Avenue or Sciuraglam teach me so much more about smart Dressing, individualism and the Beauty of women. Also great streetstyle photographers like Johnny Cirillo (watchingnewyork) finally show the great Style of women AND men. There is no point in separation great Style has no gender. Thank you for your Work and inspiration! Best regards from Germany

Dua Lupa doing it her way and Kendall Jenner breaking boundaries could not be any more ridiculous and uncompelling ‘hooks’ to invite someone to open a magazine. The march toward mediocrity continues unabated because it’s all about marketing and pay to play. Editors should be scouring the streets of Tokyo, Shanghai, the hundreds of hilltowns in Italy, Spain and France searching for young(er), new talent to promote because it is in locations such as these where lies the future of the fashion industry. It’s very sad to say but these magazines have destroyed themselves, just as they have destroyed ‘Fashion’ and have contributed to the madness of celebrity love in our culture. Oh to bring back Mrs. Vreeland, Liz Tilberis, Grace Mirabella, Franca Sozzani ….. Thank you, Marilyn, for your brilliance and courage. <3

Marilyn, you are BRILLIANT! I read and APPRECIATE all that you write! Why didn’t I get to know you 30 years ago when I showed in New York? Fashion, as we know, is of the times. I don’t like what I see as its inspiration today. Pretty pathetic and sad when magazine editors don’t understand design and focus on a woman’s vagina as her worth!

The Naomi, Linda etc. coverage got SO MUCH (over) exposure on TV, internet ad nauseum that by the time I received the actual magazine it veritably anticlimactic.

Yes. Endless crotch shots, ugly clothes, surgically altered, airbrushed, the list is long. And yet, I continue to prefer the pape., Though fewer of them, I still clip pages. Not a fashion Magazine, The New Yorker, must read the magazine, so much easier and satisfying. But, then I’m old school.

Such a timely article about the Anthrological view of how our world is changing at alarming speed. Who even reads magazines anymore? I used to spring for Vogue Elle and HB as soon as I could get my hands on them. I was so often in them! The exhilaration and anticipation the adrenaline high of opening the pages up and spotting my jewelry in editorials. I no longer like the feeling of a heavy book or turning the pages of a magazine since I have completely gone to digital. iPads iPhones and MacBooks have given us a new world of how we read and become intertained. So long you dinosaurs of culture. I have loved you for so long and so deeply, so long September issues, I don’t need you anymore. We are breaking up!
