Of course, number one on my list of places I'd LOVE to work has gotta be Vogue Magazine, or even Vogue.com, which might infact be more suited to my skill set as it stands. Competition is obviously fierce for this position, but there's something to be said for, try, try again...

Keeping much along the same theme, Vogue Japan would be simply an amazing experience for me. I love the Japanese language and culture, and, in fact, studied it for a year at degree level. Although it might be difficult to go about getting work experience for Vogue Japan, I am going to explore other publications that I like the look of.
When considering work placements abroad, there's plenty to think about, such as where you will stay, how long you will be there, if you need a work visa etc. Luckily, I have many friends in Japan who I can no doubt call in favours to!
The only information I could find on the Vogue Nippon website was as follows:
【 VOGUE NIPPON (雑誌) 】
－ 現在募集はしておりません。
【 VOGUE.COM (ウェブ) 】
－ 現在募集はしておりません。
【 新規学卒者採用 】
－ 現在、弊社では新卒の方を対象とした定期募集は行っておりません-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The publishing company that actually produces Vogue (amongst others) naturally has it's own website and advises people looking to work for specific magazines not to limit themselves, and rather directly apply to the Conde Nast head office, which I plan to do!
HR/Personnel Department
The Condé Nast Publications Ltd
Vogue House
Hanover Square
London,W1S 1JU
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I tried really hard to find information about getting work experience at this magazine, and found NatMags.co.uk that lists contacts for various magazines published by the Hearst Publishing group.
How to apply for work experience
We regularly have opportunities for work experience placements, however demand always outstrips available places, so you are advised to get in contact with your magazine of choice as far as possible in advance of your preferred dates to maximise your chances of securing a place.
We will only consider requests for work experience placements from those over the age of 18. To register your interest, you should contact the PA to the Editor of your chosen magazine:

Cosmopolitan: Editorial business manager: rebecca.stening@natmags.co.uk
Cosmopolitan Bride: Editor Miranda Eason
Harper's Bazaar: Fashion Dept - Julia Brenard: julia.brenard@natmags.co.uk

While serching for Harper's Bazaar placements I came across a blog post on an internship and work experience networking site, called WEXO. The site looks quite interesting, but there's a £10 sign-up fee, so I'm going to look into it further.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Searching wexo.com I found an advert for a placement at online boutique I've seen advertised in Harper's before.
Description of role:
SheerLuxe.com is the definitive guide to online shopping.
Candidates should be hardworking, efficient, creative, and most of all, passionate about the luxury sector and online shopping! Basic computing skills are also a must. The internship is a fantastic opportunity to add to your CV and gain experience in lifestyle journalism.
Responsibilities:
Your responsibilities range from helping the editorial team, to liaising with PRs, assisting with the general running of the site, and more. As part of a small team, your role will be really hands on. You’ll also get the opportunity to write articles on fashion, beauty, home and more.
You will receive £5 a day.

I recently joined a journalism website where they post various jobs and advertise placements. One of the forums is for fashion journalism, and recently there was this:
We are looking for hard-working interns for placements of one week, for our busy fashion department. The candidates should be enthusiastic and organised, with a keen interest in fashion.
Responsibilities will include: managing the fashion cupboard, in particular doing fashion returns, keeping it organised and efficient, answering the phone, calling in clothes for various editors, merchandising items and assisting on shoots. You will experience the running of a busy editorial department on a national weekly supplement.
Previous experience is preferred but not essential. These are full-time 1 week positions commencing as soon as possible.
Please email a CV and covering letter to charlie.lambros@thetimes.co.uk
I luckily have a contact from last year who did work experience at The Times, so will be contacting her ASAP.
