I bought this in the multipack - and got the subscribers cover. I'm delighted, I love that shot of the crazy laugh.

Is this the return of Nyasha????

I agree, what an amazing editorial.

That's a beautiful editorial!

When it comes to collections edits, HB is my go-to magazine. They really go to town by presenting something so special and interesting. This one is no exception.
Claire's cover feature is just as lovely! She's insanely photogenic.

Every month I'm looking forward to a new issue of HB UK just because of Erik Madigan Heck and his amazing editorials. Lovely to see Nyasha Matonhodze again.

Justine Picardie may be the editor, but it's really Leith Clark. And the issues are the best when she's styling the most editorials, like this month.

You're so very right. One can sense that Leith Clark is given full creative control with her editorials, it's so exceedingly nuanced. What I like about her is that doesn't inundate her audience with trends - she draws from fashion what would appeal to her woman, bugger the rest. Just because everyone is raving about leather bustier-clad SLP bimbettes, doesn't mean she should follow suit. That's such a rare confidence to have in fashion nowadays, which dictates that you should show as much as possible regardless of whether it suits your audience or not.

I think another reason why HB UK works so well is because the fashion features and articles aligns a lot. Justine is a great writer in her own right, and Leith a great stylist. So when you marry the two you get solid issues time after time. I'm a huge advocate of this dynamic!

The Collections is beautiful. I love the color palette.

^These are gorgeous. Are they older pics of Natalia reprinted or is this new?

It's a reprint from an old issue of Numéro, from 2002

 

[KateTheGreatest]

^Thanks, I thought so. I'll try to find the ed online later.

Here's the issue of Numero on TFS

I've long been intrigued by creative uses of reprints but that most definitely does not qualify. HB UK didn't even try in anyway to tie those images together to fit into the new context. Simply reprinting the images and changing the text is pretty cheap and devoid of creativity.
