Choosing a text and defining who I think the audience is and how I know

http://www.elleuk.com/collections-2011

In this text, I feel that the audience are definitely girls, I think that the age of the audience are probably from ages 16-24. This is because it is a magazine which is for teenagers and above, it seems to be a very mature magazine, and that is why I think it can go up to the age of 24. This page is describing 'Forever Kate' Kate Moss is an older model, who loves fashion and has created her own clothing line. This text is advertising that Kate will be on the cover of the next magazine which is Autumn Winter 2011. They have used persuasive writing to try and convince the readers of ELLE to buy the collections. Here is an example of this:
'As well as ELLE's expert report on Autumn Winter's top shows and hottest trends, this issue of Collections features exclusive interviews with Victoria Beckham, Alexander Wang, Lady Gaga stylist Nicola Formichetti and Valentino creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli. Plus see what the editors wore at fashion week, read Q&As with designers and get all the gossip from backstage.'
This also makes it clear that this is a womens/teens mag because of the people they have interviewed. It shows the magazine loves fashion, so they will be interviewing the top designers and Victoria Beckham, who is a massive fan of fashion too. Also girl music artists who are very popular. Example Lady Gaga.
 
I think that most girls will read this magazines, because of the text given it does involve interests to most young teenager girls, and it is very sophisicated for older readers.
