VI. Further information
 Vogue
 
《VOGUE》是由美国康泰纳仕集团出版发行的一本期刊。创刊于1892年，是世界上历史悠久、广受尊崇的一本综合性时尚生活类杂志，杂志内容涉及时装、化妆、美容、健康、娱乐和艺术等各个方面，被奉为世界的Fashion Bible（时尚圣典）。
已在全球共计26个国家和地区出版发行。
中国版《VOGUE》的态度是“中国的终极时尚”。对于《VOGUE》在中国的走向，前编辑总监张宇表示：杂志的内容很实在，但视觉上仍然追求高端。定位于20-35岁之间的、有一定经济基础、受过良好教育、对时尚较为关注的年轻女性，完全抛弃职场、两性关系等内容，仅仅由时装、美容、艺术和生活方式四部分构成 。
ELLE
 
ELLE法语翻译成中文名字是“她”的意思，1945年，由Helene Lazareff在法国巴黎创立，面世后广受好评。艾莲娜・拉札蕾芙（Hélène Lazareff）的最初目标是创造一个主要是时装、美容和生活的女性周刊，提供一个时代前瞻性的、非传统的潮流出版物。之后，ELLE已经超出时尚杂志的范畴，成为一个国际性的时尚品牌。
ELLE品牌形象是现代、朝气、优雅、活力，以时尚为导向，其现代的设计极力展现积极向上、亲切、潮流而又充满生活气息的风格。
