My Experience
Before Instagram and Pinterest were introduced to world, Teen Vogue, along with Vogue, Elle, Grazia and other fashion/art like magazines were my only source for inspiration.
Also I noticed, when it comes to magazines, I prefer to go to the shops and buy the actual magazine or order it, if i cant find it than to read it all online, even though it is easier with technology.
I have been collecting it for the past 8 years, which means I have about 96 issues.
(12 issues per year x 8 years= 96 issues).
My first issue that I ever bought was in 2008 and Rachel Bilson was on the cover.
Vogue Italia Event 2013
In 2013 when I was interning at Esquire Middle East , I had the chance to the first Vogue Italia's Fashion Experience at Dubai Mall. At this event, it included a press conference for the media at Burj Khalifa, fashion show in Dubai Mall with various up and coming designers from around the globe and other store events.
Throughout the event, I saw designers, models such as Naomi Campbell , who was sitting 2 rows in front of me and fashion editors and bloggers, like Derek Blasberg, a former writer for Teen Vogue.
I was so happy to meet him in person and tell him how much of a fan I was of his book.

Muslim and Black Beauty Awareness in Teen Vogue
Since i've been collecting Teen Vogue for years, I have seen a progression in the content they have created in the magazine. By that I mean, they are now including designers, bloggers, musicians, creatives..etc from different backgrounds and religious beliefs and I am so happy that they are doing this and I strongly believe they should continue to do so.
As a young, black, muslim woman, I say this, because there aren't many magazines out there that celebrate this factor and I think this is important to show this and to inspire young black/muslim children.
These are the articles I am talking about;
