Fashion,
style, beauty tips, makeup, and women’s health—that’s the stuff
that fills magazine shelves.
Dozens of fashion magazines with scantily clad models on the
covers lure readers and lurkers every month.
Women
love to keep up with women's fashions.
So do most men. But, judging from the way men browse
through the mags in the supermarkets, it's the models that attract their
roving eyes.
A
look at the coffee tables at home suggests that the beauty tips and
gossip, the hairstyles and makeup secrets draw the women and girls.
Of course, the ladies dream, as they browse, of being able to
afford the latest fashions. The designs by Versace, Amani, Ungaro, Karan, Tussardi, Westwood,
Klein, Lagerfield, Gautier and a hundred or so more grace the slick
pages.
Now
comes the revolution! The
fashion sources have discovered that almost as many women as men have
taken to the Internet. Almost daily, a new fashion site is added to the World Wide Web
to lure this expanded female audience.
Publications
like Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Glamour, Mademoiselle, Petite,
Vogue, Victoria's Secret, and 70 or 80 other "ezines"
(electronic magazines) already have their home pages filled with
articles and photos from their magazines.
Fashion
sites on the Web can now offer even more than the printed publications.
Fashion
Net features a "mini fashion net" where you can watch
fashion videos while surfing the net.
In addition to runway shows and online shopping, they also have a
live channel where you can chat with others about style.
Check
out the latest in styles on Fashion
TV. They’ve got nonstop clips of fashion shows from around the
world. You may also select from the archived videos of the month.
The site includes fashion news well as a guide to what's on for the
week. The streaming
videos and music are both very lively.
Find
the latest emerging looks, what's hot, hip season tips, news, gossip,
and much more fashion information from the online magazine, visit Fashion
Planet.
If
you'd like to view the latest coverage of what’s happening in the
Paris fashion scene, Paris Fashion
Net covers a lot of French activity.
Resources
devoted to France's fashion industry, including clothing and accessory
info, related links, and a discussion forum are online at the Paris
Fashion Show. To view the fashion show video, you need Real
Player; but unless you've got at least a 56k modem, the movement of the
models along the catwalk is a bit uneven.
Fashion
UK magazine online features fashion news, beauty news, a fashion
clinic and message board. They’ve
also got an extensive catwalk archive.
Want
the latest in fashion lingerie? Where
else but at Victoria’s
Secret? Now the

Though
men and women may see different things in fashion, the Internet and the
World Wide Web offer something stylish and attractive for
everyone. Will the magazines on the supermarket shelves lose their
prominence? It’s difficult to forecast; but with the active
video presentations and catwalk features coming online, they just might.
