Love #4 Fall / Winter 10.11 by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

[Viceorversa]

great to see a magazine that loves models,names them and talks to them, thus elevating them. Not sure why people feel offended by the mixture of fashion models with tabloid celebrities-it says on the cover "fashion and fame" I cant wait to get a copy.

Love the styling in Liv's ed!

I'm so positively surprised by the content I've seen so far! No a single editorial has bored me. I've found the other issues too celebrity-focused or the editorials too contrived, but this issue looks amazing so far! I love the mixture of different models they've used, from Stella to Guinevere to Aggy.

Hannah and dree look soooo stunning, and i cantate believe i'm saying this but i actually like Lara in that ed

Love Agyness's editorial. Thanks for the previews, honeycombchild. Can't wait to see the rest.

I've been keeping my opinion of Love to myself for awhile, but I think it's time I shared my two cents. I do feel that some of it is gimmicky, like the staggered unveiling of the covers (although it certainly does the job of building a lot of hype, both good and bad, for the magazine), but after seeing the content for this issue I really think that Love offers something that other magazines don't--a good mix of highbrow art and kitschy culture. Some fashion publications take themselves a bit too seriously, and it's nice to see one that likes a little tackiness.

As for this issue, I love Agyness and Stella, so I think their editorials look great. Baby It's You is also very sweet, although I do wish that Lara would get her eyebrows back.

I may have missed someone explaining this, but the doll cover is one of Marina's Enchanted Dolls. Personally I'm glad to see a work of art that is still fashion-inspired featured on a fashion magazine. And perhaps I'm in the minority, but I also LOVE Rosie's cover.

this issue looks really good... i like most of the photos... very sexy and self-confidential models... covers are also pretty... especially Rosie and Alessandra

 

[Mr-Dale]

Love really is a poor man's V, isn't it? I mean, The t*ts Issue, really?! What I like about V is that it knows how to tackle borderline tackiness and turn it into something fashionable, entertaining, somewhat tongue-in-cheek and somethimes quite confronting. Then comes Love and brings on the full on kitsch in a tasteless, unsubtle manner. I like most of their covers and the coverstories, but the rest is mostly a waste of paper.

I'll take V's Sexy Body Issue over Love's t*ts Issue anyday....since I got two of those V's, nothing will be lost if I pick up either Rosie's or Gisele's cover, right? Like I said, I still like the covers Or should I practice what I preach? I'll wait for the main ed....

 

[Escale Cherie II]

Gisele's cover is my favorite

I like that big editorial by Pennetta, I always like those grainy-ish quality pics that you don't find a lot these days Liv's ed is great too.

^Yeah, kinda, but this is by far, the best issue they've done.

Marant's article was so ******** and who told aggy dressing up as a skin head was a good look.

Maybe the distribution of the magazine will increase throughout the week, but in all my travels so far, I've found only one store that stocked it, and only four copies were out - Kelly, Agyness, Lauren and Gisele. At a push, I would have got Gisele's cover (although the sludge tones aren't any more appealing on glossy paper) but it was heavily scratched.

And therein lies a problem with producing multiple covers. What if someone can't get the one they want? The content seemed fine, and it was a satisfyingly heavy magazine, but because so much of the sales push is centered on there being a selection of covers, if I can't get the one I want, it feels like I'm having to settle for an inferior issue - so I didn't bother to buy it.

It's the strange psychology of choice - I'd rather have no magazine than pay £6 for a cover I don't want, because of the awareness that 'better' ones are out there somewhere. Yet if there'd been no choice from the start and only one cover produced, I'd have simply been glad to have seen it on sale, and I'd have bought the damn thing today, regardless of who might be on the front of it.

Totally agree with you.
I see it in every shop - but only 4 covers - Rosie, Alessandra, Giselle & Sienna. I would have really liked The Mannequin

About the 't*ts' thing - I think it may have something to do with Isaac Lock's feature onElizabeth Taylor (apparently being called Miss t*ts by Richard Burton on the set ot Cleopatra). Or something..

And I love Stella Tennant's ed
