Mag-ography : 1997 to 2001



The following list is a run through of magazines (and a handful of newspapers) that have featured important or exclusive Sophie features and pictures. In most cases, the photos were taken exclusively for the mags concerned. Some are major fashion shoots or interviews, others are fashion features complete with photos that are believed to have been taken exclusively for the article. There are a couple of known omissions, where I have the pictures, but not the issue details. These will be included when possible.
The list does not include mags where Sophie appeared on the cover - these are listed elsewhere on the site and have been omitted for space reasons. Also, there are a handful of other interesting mags that have also been mentioned elsewhere on the site, such as "American Photo" and "Russian Vogue", and are not included here. The list does not include every magazine appearance - many mags will use 'old' pictures for features that have been bought from photo agencies, and have a tendency to resurface again and again. A reasonably in depth list of these can be found separately on the "Pic-ography" pages.
In other words, if you see any of these in your local charity shop, have a quick look. Some of these pictures have been scanned and are on the net, some have been reprinted elsewhere (often in inferior form), but for others, there will be pictures you have never seen before.
