Found my subscription copy waiting for me at home; it's a white/soft pink colour scheme, with a chest-upwards shot of Liya against a solid pink background, wearing a pink Chanel chiffon asymmetrical dress, the title writing in white, and with 'the new chic' in a handwriting font diagonally placed across her, at shoulder height. 238 pgs.
 
Editorials:

ON THE LOOSE by Alexei Hay, with Liya, a 10 pg series which doesn't resemble the cover. The mood is messier, less glam, more boring. Here, she's posing in mismatched casuals in the studio, against a very light 'hint of mint' coloured background.

ELECTRIC PROM by Thomas Nuztl, with Elsa Sylvan, is much more dramatic location shot, inside a stylised house that has Japanese-style sliding doors and walls painted in blocks of primary green. She's also wearing mismatched fashion, 'flirty chiffon and organza with sensual silk and leather'. My eyes are too untrained to appreciate this inspired mix, 8 pgs.

SHAPE SHIFTER by John Lindquist, with Elena Melnik, is an 8 pg outdoor edit, very much black dresses with white dresses, monochrome silhouette, they have the model posing like a robot in one shot, stiff arms out, and a facial expression of mild existential angst in some of the others.

CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER profiles daring dresses, 'luxe eccentrics', which means 1 pg portraits of Daphne Guinness, Grayson Perry, Amanda Harlech, Rosie Oddie (Bill's girl) & friend, all shot by Iain McKell, and a two-page article about it generally.

KING GEORGE - that's Mr Clooney to you, shot by... someone too shy to have their name associated with the image. There it is, Sam Jones, hidden in the crease. Interview by Mariella Frostrup, 6 pgs.

That's it for actual edit/article content from the fashion pages onwards. There's no dedicated beauty edit, only a series of news pages.
 
Oh sounds absoloutely lovely, the way you described it at least. :lol:

And thanks for entire review, man is George everywhere lately or what?But its all good since i like him.

Are there any good articles thats stand out?

Fabulous cover! Liya looks positively amazing...the pink colors make her look really good. Thanks for the review and scan!
 
Fantastic cover, and huge props to UK HB for mostly using models.
 
^Indeed, and moreover, and using them right too - Liya looks so very gorgeous. :heart:
 
Thanks for scanning the cover miss nyc, I've given you karma for that. Now, would it be too much to ask you to scan Liya's ed? She's one of my faves and I can't wait to see what the ed looks like. Advance thanks!
 
Liya looking flawless as usual thanks for the scan!
 
Liya and pretty are never used in the same sentence. Liya, Cover, Amazing! That's more like it.:lol:
 
Beautiful cover, Liya looks great! We don't see enough of her these days :heart:
 
Finally, a beautiful May cover with a model I love!!
