Popteen is a monthly teenage fashion magazine published by the Kadokawa Haruki Corporation in Japan. The first issue was published October 1, 1980, by Kadokawa Shoten, but later issues were produced by Asuka Shinsha who bought the magazine for 200 million yen. In 1994, the magazine was bought by the Kadokawa Haruki Corporation for 600 million yen, and has since become its flagship publication.

Popteen is one of Asia's top fashion magazines. The magazine is published in Japan and Taiwan, and has recently launched a web presence in the United States.

Japanese magazine's 'cover queen' is Ayumi Hamasaki, who has been featured on the cover 21 times since 2000. Other artists that appeared on the cover include Kumi Koda, Namie Amuro, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, Fergie and Gwen Stefani.

The magazine is famous for having a 'user-model business-model' where its readers become models in the magazine. It is notable for its coverage of Gyaru fashions. One of the most popular popteen models was Tsubasa Masuwaka who in December 2007 married Umesan Naoki, a male fashion model. She announced on her blog that she had graduated from Popteen and that the February 2008 issue would be her last.

Seventeen is a monthly Japanese fashion magazine for female teenagers published by Shueisha.

Launched in 1967 as a weekly magazine based on the original American Seventeen, the magazine changed the name to SEVENTEEN in 1987, and to Seventeen in 2008.

Since the late 1990s, Seventeen has been the highest-selling teenage fashion magazine in Japan, and has featured its exclusive teenage models as ST-Mo (STモ - Seventeen Model). Well known former Seventeen models include Rie Miyazawa, Hinano Yoshikawa, Keiko Kitagawa, Anna Tsuchiya, Nana Eikura, and Emi Suzuki.

Since the 2000s, just like other popular teenage fashion magazines, some models are from foreign countries mainly in the Eurasian continent, such as the Republic of Sakha, Taiwan, and especially the People's Republic of China. In most cases, they were discovered in some local auditioning-contests they participated in, or in their local places. The former Seventeen model Yuka Narumi, a $million-earning model, once disclosed her personal history as she was scouted at the orphanage she grew up in, which was located in an inland area of People's Republic of China, when she was 11 or 12 and then immigrated to "some place I didn't know, where every guy looked rich and spoke in some language I didn't know" (i.e. Japan).

These ex-foreigner models increase in number year by year and most of them, especially those from People's Republic of China, have extremely-thin shapes like 5 ft 12 in and 80 - 95 lbs.

London’s b-Store has long been a Mecca for contemporary design. A haunt for the stylish, their eponymous publication - launched in September 2009 - embraces the wider b-Store ethos; passion in design, integrity in individuality and a nod to more sartorial affairs.

In the tricky world of magazine publishing, b Magazine has been developed in reaction to the amplified way in which information reaches its audience, often resulting in the dilution of intelligent and informed journalism. b Magazine challenges the way in which we consume. Adopting the traditional format of a fashion and lifestyle title, b Magazine is interspersed with inspired wisdom and intuitive photography.

b Magazine represents the b-Store brands extended family. Its members are uncomfortable with negotiating shelves stacked with glossies selling nothing more than symbols of wealth and the convention of celebrity. b Magazine sells ideas. It sells information. Editorially driven, b looks at creatives from a unique angle – concerned with what they are reading, rather than what they are wearing, worried more about familiarity over fantasy.

b is published by b Store and retails for £5.00 in key independent book shops.
