I absolutely love the excitement of waiting for a new issue. Running to the door when your Vogue subscription arrives, or passing the News Agency to see Harper’s Bazaar perched on a pedestal. This feeling approaches me, and suddenly I cannot wait to get home. I make a coffee and lounge around, whilst flicking back and forth through the exquisite pages. I slowly observe the models, the clothes, the beauty section and the “Letter from the Editor”, before I finally decide where to begin reading. Buying a magazine, is just a whole experience in itself.
I downloaded an international magazine online, a few weeks back. The verdict: It was so tedious. The experience just wasn’t the same. No pages, no gloss, no bookmarking. Just the boring glare of technology. It is taking over the world.
I adore collecting my timeless issues of various magazines. Once an issue is read on a tablet, it’s just… gone.
