When I first heard about the iPad, I thought it was another useless gadget for Apple geeks. I swore I would never buy it. But weeks later, someone gave it to me as a present. And I instantly saw what all the fuss was about. The definition of the screen is amazing, the multitouch is magical, and there are so many applications that I've almost reached the limit of apps the iPad allows. It's so good checking the news on the sofa and reading emails on the iPad, and long trips are not so long with the games I've installed.
There are lots of applications, but not all of them are good. I've installed tons and deleted many, so I felt I had to make a post about the best (free) fashion iPad applications. I still have some doubts about several magazine applications. I think it's not reasonable that the digital edition of the magazines cost the same as the print ones. Maybe they are right, we don't pay for the paper, we pay for the contents. But it's still not clear.
1. LOVE
The app of the magazine, but it doesn't offer the magazine itself. You can watch short films made for LOVE, making of's... The layout of the application is so cute!
2. Modelinia
Lots of videos featuring models, being interviewed, talking about their lives... Excellent content!
3. 'S Max Mara
You can check their latest collection, play rubik's cube and win a trip to Milan... I tried to solve it but I have no patience! Fun and entertaining.
4. Gucci
You can watch the show via livestream, check their latest collections, view special content... And create a beat! There's also a very interesting travel guide with the most exclusive places on Earth. Wanna know a good restaurant in Cannes? This is your app.
5. Style
If Vogue is the fashion bible, Style.com is the digital edition. The application is really good, lots of videos, runway previews, party pictures, interviews...
6. Interview
You can read the latest issue of the magazine for free! I still don't know if it's the full edition, but you can flick through its pages and read the interviews and see the editorials.
7. Zara
Zara has always been not so-online friendly, they don't do much advertising... But things are changing. With the launch of their online store (at last!), they've made a quite good iPad application in which you can purchase Zara items, and watch making of' videos.
8. Dazed & Confused
Read ALL the issues for FREE!! It's Heaven, right?
9. Net-a-porter
You can have the online store for iPad, but also the Net-á-porter magazine, which is quite good.
10. Elle Italia
Elle is the magazine with more applications that I've seen. They have shopping guides, cooking recipes... Elle Italia offers the digital edition of every issue. The current issue is 2,99€, and the previous month's issue is for free.
11. Grazia
The italian version of Grazia, all issues for free!
12. Glamour US
It's not for free sadly... :(
Made for iPhone...
Vanity Fair Trivia: Movie Madness
There's only one thing that I love as much as I love fashion... Movies! The combination of Vanity Fair and a movie trivia is simply awesome. Beware, the questions are difficult!
PS: Graydon Carter's face in the game is hilarious.
Mango
The "what I wear" features, the catalogue, and the online shop. There's also a fun game in which you can create your own outfits with Mango items, but there are not enough items available and it gets boring.
The Sartorialist
A fan made this application that simply shows his pictures. Good if you want The Sartorialist's pics with you all the time.
Elle France
The french version of Elle. It offers fashion, beauty, politics, and art news. There's an Agenda application that tells you all the fashion events, music gigs... They also have quiz&tests, but you have to pay in order to take them.
Elle US
A very useful shopping guide of the main cities (NY, London, Paris...).
My little Paris
One of the best Paris guides (check the website). The most exclusive addresses, beatiful plans...
