Crikey, it's just too much! It looks like they've tried to go camp? The entire thing puts me in mind of one of Tonchi's many failed art directions over the years.
I disliked her as a Baldwin, but that Bieber last name entirely brings her chances with me down to zero. I can't even stand the thought of that man, there's something extremely repulsive about him that I can't really explain and now she carries that in her name
A magazine like Love needs a team who will BRING IT with each and every issue... creating an event down at the newsstand and giving us collectable and memorable covers (like those Helmut Newton-esque covers by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott).
Pitiful offerings like this will be forgotten within days, never mind weeks. Yet another weak effort from Katie Grand, who obviously isn't putting her blood, sweat and tears into Love anymore. Didn't she even temporarily step down as EIC with the last issue, because she hit a creative roadblock?
All 9 covers can be viewed here, and can honestly say that not a single ONE takes my immediate fancy (maybe Hailey Bieber by Willy Vanderperre if it was free
Raquel has an ed with several other models by Alasdair McLellan and styled by Katie...and that's about it (what's worth remembering). There's also an edit with Adut by Angelo Penetta, but as I've inferred above, nothing else worth a second look.
I struggle to understand how this magazine still exists. Surely no one is buying it anymore, which makes me wonder how much money Conde UK are wasting keeping it afloat ?
