I'm trying to find a headline font for a fashion magazine that's both contemporary and elegant ... any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Needs to work well with a san serif font like Agenda.

DELICATO might be a good option, being a well crafted text face suited for books and magazines. Useful pdf are available for download. Have a look here; http://www.macrhino.com

Cally I would suggest H&FJ's Requiem if Town & Country weren't already using it. Fabian Baron did some amazing work with Didot for Italian Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. What about Porchez Typofonderie's Ambroise?

What about Font Bureau's Eldorado or Prensa? http://fontbureau.com/fonts/Eldorado http://fontbureau.com/fonts/Prensa
or Storm's Jannon or Serapion or Tyfa http://www.stormtype.com/jannon.html http://www.stormtype.com/serap.html http://www.stormtype.com/tyfa.html
FontShop has Absara (gorgeous angularity) http://www.fontshop.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.fontpackage&displayfontid=FF.11455.0.0
Have you already settled on a sans? Sebastian http://www.stormtype.com/sebastian.html Dyna Grotesk http://www.stormtype.com/dynag.html
If you do use Agenda, ask for an alternate lowercase a with your license, you will find that curly a gets distracting sometimes.
