wow, this cover almost makes it seem like Nylon has gone up in quality

 

[lmelanie]

really? i dont think so at all..i have almost every issue of nylon and it has gone from such an underground fashion mag to a seventeen teeny bopper type.

^Agreed.

 

[ChloeFrancoise]

I second that agreed.

 

[Mchunu]

well, maybe this is one of their weaker covers in the past? because this really just looks more so typical..red,black and white is a safe color scheme for design and i don't know, the cover just looks totally bland and boring.

The good ol' days. Lol.

The first Nylon I ever bought had Lizzie Jagger on the cover.

First time I see an old Nylon. Looks totally different than the pop culture magazine it is today. Looks so alternative.

I WANT her shoes!

I think that's precisely the reason it's such a stellar, stand out cover. the image speaks for itself. they didn't need to sell it with all of that atrocious neon vomit.

There's almost a museum, still life quality to those images. Like the angle Mark shot Amber gives almost a heavy, unbalanced top heavy feel esp coupled with that oversize jacket she's wearing and the placement of the masthead ON her head. really draws the viewer in.


I wonder what typeface they used for the coverlines? that was used a lot in the earlier issues. I like the clean, vaguely space agey look to it.

This is so cool! Nylon was such a great mag. Reminds me of Details in the 80's, such a great rag until they ruined it and turned it into whatever it is today.
