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

I hope models.com will post another cover this week, if I remember correctly they released first cover previous Friday.
So, maybe another one tomorrow? I really hope. 18 days left until it's out.

I'm not quite sure it'll work the same as last time, and we'll see all covers before the issue comes out.

They've used Rosie as the website's image, and British Vogue, Tatler, and a few others have all had LOVE Issue 4 ads in them, all using Rosie's image again. It seems that's the image they want us all to focus on in the run up to the magazines release.

I was half expecting to find another cover used in the Vogue ads actually..

I don't want a month-long campaign of possible cover shots that never come to pass, and I don't want to see something that gets me excited, then have to wait forever before I can actually buy it, because I'll have moved on by then. I own about a thousand magazines, so an interminable trickle of preview shots isn't going to get me excited about this one, but if they release some awesome pictures of the product two days before it comes out, I'll probably buy it while I'm still in an impressed state of mind. I want to be wowed, not teased. That's the sort of Love I'd like.

i like the cover and the girl!
she looks very different and sexy from the runway.
and her lips are real!!!

 

[JuiceMajor]

kinda boring in my opinion!

LOVE will be doing an I-Pad version with this issue Launching the same day the issue is released, on the 23rd of August.

Is it tongue in cheek that she looks very much like Megan Fox there? The expression, the lips, everything. I don't know - I"m not sold that Rosie is some curvy, ultra-womanly body. She looks great body-wise, but she's no Christina Hendricks.

My thoughts exactly. On the surface it seems like the fashion industry is "changing it's commonly held ideals about what is beautiful" or whatever, but in the words of Coco Chanel, fashion is created to become unfashionable. This curvy, voluptuous fifties housewife and/or femme fatale look is just as much of a trend as Amazonian Brazilians were, as leggy Slavic waifs are. And to add insult to injury, most of the models that are supposed to be ushering in this new look are really just high fashion models who bought themselves some t*tties.

The cover is beautiful but boring. Gap toothed beauty, big hair, red lips... it's all becoming so repetitive.

Jessica Rabbit was the first character which came to my mind after seeing the cover. I don't like Rosie and her lips are so HUGE here, but the pinup style is really appealing. I wonder how the other covers look and who's on them...

 

[vogue28]

There's a trailer on Love's website featuring Eliza, Ana Beatriz, Elle Macpherson, Laetitcia Casta, Abbey Clancy,
Agyness Deyn, Julie, Liv Tyler, Veruschka and Ashley Smith. No doubt some of those shots will feature in this issue.

I prefer Lara's cover than Rosie's, Rosie looks too much of a retro pin-up for my taste.

 

[ForChicSake]

can't wait to see veruschka & casta

 

[Deleted member 116957]

^ Yeah, those are the only two out of that entire list that interest me...

WOW. Alessandra looks amazing there. Unlike I've ever seen her..& it isn't just the hair and make up.

So it was really indeed shot by M&M..? Someone else posted several pages back that the photographer was said to be Tom Munro? Not that I believed it.

 

[*ana*]

wow that's definitely the best shot i've ever seen of alessandra. i've always found her quite unappealing but that picture is great.

i'm tired of all this teaser thing though.

 

[naya]

^ I definitely agree, she looks amazing. The best i've ever seen her.

 

[Ives927]

WOOOOOOW! Alessandra's cover is ridiculous!

 

[tentalicious]

Ale hasn't delivered a great work this year yet! this cover isn't that bad Thrilled to see more
