Aren't hemlines traditionally related to economy? Would a three-way correlation clarify or further obscure the direction of cause and effect? |

Can it have a sister publication? - the Big Fancy Handbag (BFH). Make it from Leather because "Everybody Likes a Bit of Bully!" |

[bigsleep], you can't fight fashion by referring to it, however negatively. It only feeds off that and gets stronger. To fight fashion you must direct attention away from it, towards something real. |

I wasn't trying to start a war on fashion. I think enough people know its vacuous. Just something to leave on the coffee table. Also, I'm not immune to certain things new shiny and trendy, its just that I tend not to buy them after spending way too long pawing over consumer surveys. In fact fashion often changes during my decision-making process. |

It's Smashing, Super or Great! |

I was going more for a Reginald Perrin. |

I'd totally subscribe to this. [+] |

/Editorial: An in-depth look at last months magazine./ - very nice. |

This would be best if it actually had information about fashion, and also excellent photography. An occasional spread where the artiness of the photography interfered with the fashion would be appropriate. |
|
| |
Such a magazine might be a context in which to cover low fashion (eg: Lands End, Target) in the manner of high fashion. |

Fashion Super Great sort of sounds like Chinglish. |

//and also excellent photography// |

Like a perfectly composed scene but with a lamppost as the main subject and the model, obviously posing and providing a counterpoint, but just out of focus. |
|

Maybe a shoot where all the pictures look like they were done by a kid with a carboard box camera: cutting off heads, picture strangely aligned, odd angle from below or above, candid shots, moving people, irritated big sister in bathroom, but all actually showing the clothes in question very well. |

Sarcasm by itself is boring, because often it serves to conceal mediocrity or inability. Self-deprecating sarcasm attached to effortless-appearing excellence becomes more interesting. |

Some of your proposals: "how black?" actually could be done in a very interesting way, and the profilers thing would also be very interesting. The sociology of the high heeled shoe, not in the context of feminism or female subjugation but put to wrok determining which high fashioned shoes best acheive their tacit sociologic purpose. |
