being a magazine publishing graduate, I read A LOT of publications from all over the world. Judging on their art direction, editorial, layout and photography, these are my all time favourites.
Style by Stylism: yes. Vogue. Alexander Shulman, Anna Wintour. Vogue brings in the business, keeping ad rates steady during recession. They are top news for fashion, edited only by the best.
Style by Stylism: GQ another favourite. I love men's fashion. Their articles are well written and always knows how to grab readers attention. its no wonder they are top for men's fashion magazine.
Style by Stylism: aaaah Monocle. The business/design publication. They have an eye for all creative products on the market. Good for business start-up advice. Well written, articulate, and a good read.
Style by Stylism: Hands down, they have good photography. Very edgy, out there and not afraid to shock readers with their views. Creative, different, and definitely unique.
