Hearst’s Seventeen magazine will reportedly be going more luxury-oriented with their April issue.
Adweek is reporting that the April style guide will be much more lavish this year, featuring many more high-end products than usual, such as a stunning pair of $400 Marc Jacob shoes for the teen in your life.
Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen, Ann Shoket, explains, “We 100 percent do not want to alienate our readers who want to shop at accessible price points. We always want to be at reach for our readers…But there’s something to be said for delicious designer splurges. This style guide was a real reaction to that.”
While we understand Shoket’s point of view, in this current market, we expect you wouldn’t want your teen to pick up the April issue!
