It was first published in 1886 in the United States as a family magazine, was later transformed into a literary magazine and eventually became a women's magazine in the late 1960s. Also known as Cosmo, its current content includes articles on relationships and sex, health, careers, self-improvement, celebrities, as well as fashion and beauty. Published by Hearst Magazines, Cosmopolitan has 58 international editions, is printed in 34 languages and is distributed in more than 100 countries.

Shape Magazine (or Shape) is a monthly English language fitness magazine started by Weider Publications in 1981. Weider was purchased by American Media in 2002.

V Magazine was launched in September 1999 as the younger sibling publication to the limited-edition quarterly Visionaire. If Visionaire is a couture book, V is ready-to-wear. V is large-format and visually-driven, international in scope and collaborative in spirit.

It is edited by Stephen Gan with a focus on art, film, music, and fashion. V is noted for its extreme and artful fashion spreads by the world's greatest photographers, as well as its reportage of cultural figures and global youth culture. Contributors include Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Hedi Slimane, Mario Testino, Mario Sorrenti, and Karl Lagerfeld. Interview subjects have included Joan Didion, Salman Rushdie, Robert Altman, Brooke Shields, and Norman Mailer.

V recently launched an offshoot called VMAN.

In 2005, 7L and Steidl published V Best: Five Years of V Magazine, chronicling the seminal first five years of the publication.

Pride has been the lifestyle bible of the woman of colour for nearly two decades. Pride is unique, blending multiculturalism with modern UK living. Pride is the face of black Britain.

Pride brings out the very best in its readers, who strive to be the best in every area of their very demanding and colourful lives.

The Pride woman is very aware of her cultural background and eager to retain and promote her identity. However, she is also fully integrated within the British cultural society.

The Pride woman is a well-educated, ambitious go-getter who has overcome the carelessness of her flirty freedom years. More than 50% of Pride readers have completed a degree. She is focused and responsible. Striving to be the best in both her personal and career life, she is now more confident and cultured. She is aware of her attributes and has learned to use them well. She is opinionated but always open to new ideas.

Pride has fed the spirit of the woman of colour for the best part of two decades, offering information that is important to her, such as career, health, hair and beauty, and advice on issues ranging from dealing with cultural racism to updates on the latest braid sprays – issues that are not found in any other lifestyle title.

By advertising in Pride, companies speak specifically to the woman of colour through her medium and join the celebration of all that she is. Because when a Pride woman sits down with Pride, she goes on an exciting journey of cultural self-discovery with her best friend, who understands where she is coming from and – most importantly – where she is going.
