I quite like the redesign. In person the cover is indeed sort of rubber coated, with a newspaper and fold out poster featuring Sky whats-her-name shot by Slimane, they're held in by a black rubber band which goes along the cover.
Some really nice full page shots of behind the scenes of the shows along with a runway section with larger images than we've seen for a while, no magnifying glass needed. It's £7 again. I do miss the days of it being only £5, but never mind. It's still one of the, if not the best runway mag out there.
