Hitting our shelf's twice a year one to cover spring/summer and autumn/winter being quite popular with 400k gross international readership and International monthly unique users of 80k giving their readers the latest on fashion, style and culture. Mainly their audience being between 18yrs-40yrs as the publishers are trying to reach out to the younger generation because soon they will want to just move on-line as they at the moment they publish on-line, in print and ipad but fear soon the print media will die out as the amount of people buying physical copies today is decreasing.
