Ad page counts for the September issues of magazines are in, and they’re looking less promising.

Condé Nast reports that ad pages in W are down 53% from last year, Allure saw a decline of 52%, Self fell 51%, Glamour lost 42%, Vogue’s down 37%, Details gave up 35%, and GQ and Teen Vogue each lost 32%.

Or, in other words, OUCH.

Elle, published by Hachette Filipacchi, lost 21%, Hearst’s Harper’s Bazaar is down between 23 and 26 percent.
