Editorials:
THE NEW LOUNGEWEAR, shot by Alan Clarke, is a rather somble 10 pg underwear shoot, where Pania Rose @ Next wears nude shades of separates in a dingy hotel-style location. Occasionally the silhouette of a camera intrudes into the shot, as if to add some sort of cinematic atmosphere. It doesn't, and I'm not impressed, either by the clothes or the scenario. 1 image attached.
A LIGHTER TOUCH is a quirky 10 pg take on spring fashion, shot by Valerie Phillips, with Marloes @ Union looking cute in a variety of Japanese-themed backgrounds - not surprising, as it's shot in Tokyo. 2 images attached.
LINDSAY BITES BACK is a 6 pg recycled feature from US Elle.
Beauty:
There is no beauty edit! Just a lot of product shots.
Overall:
January issues are always as skinny as the models inside them, so the lack of content comes as no surprise. I don't mind the cover; I'm a lover of red, and that particular shot of Lindsay makes her look young and brash, without looking sl*tty.
