Magazines. Is Vogue changing (for the worse)?

Unless I am prematurely losing my marbles, something has changed.

I don't subscribe, but whenever I have had a flick through in the last few months, I have decided it wasn't worth buying. I have a diverse range of titles on my coffee table at present:

Sainsburys Magazine
Tatler (unread, has also become crp - only subscribed to in order to get a free Eternity EDP)
Launch edition of Jamie Oliver magazine - also cr
p, wouldn't buy again, was seduced by warm fuzzy feeling following festive programmes on TV
Country Life (to drool over the property pages)
Vanity Fair (out of date)
Good Housekeeping Xmas Shock

I used to like Vogue but have lately found it increasingly irrelevant and incomprehensible. Whereas it used to be inspirational and with at least some relation to reality in spite of the odd detour into impreesionist chiffon and statement couture.

I worry this may say something about me and my age rather than Vogue though?

I think most magazines aren't worth reading. And certainly not worth paying money for.
