LOVE & WONDERLAND

So i got quite a bit of money on Friday (i won't disclose how much, but it was a nice amount) and i went in to town that same day to get some essentials for my trip to Berlin tomorrow. I decided to have a look at the magazines in W H Smiths and came across 'LOVE' (£6.00) and also 'Wonderland' (£5.00) which i'd never seen before but both said fashion on the covers and i felt i needed them.

Though the price sounds scandalous for a magazine it is anything but because LOVE is packed with articles and images in a nice hefty 380 or so pages. Albeit a lot of it is advertisement but then what more could you expect from a fashion magazine? I personally enjoy fashion adverts as i like the photography! Anyway, this months one, which has been circling the internet is 'The Androgyny Issue' with a nice big picture of Kate Moss looking incredibly masculine with her hair slicked back and a sense of laid back coolness in her expression. Printed right over her chest is 'This is hardcore', a bit tacky for my tastes but suits the general theme of the issue, so i'll let them off. There is a lot of focus on Lea T this issue including a shoot with her and Kate getting a little (A LOT) bit close. Then also Patrick Demarchilier one of my favourite photographers, who i actually saw on ANTM the other week and he has a wonderful down to earth personality (going by the clips on a tv programme that is). I have so far flicked through the magazine and read the editors letter but later i aim to read the articles, it may have to be after i come back from germany however as it's far to heavy to take on the plane. But i can't wait to get stuck in as the very titles look interesting.

I have yet to really look through WONDERLAND as i haven't had a spare moment but it is titled 'The Spring Fashion Issue' so i expect a lot of reviews of the SS shows. What drew me to the magazine was definitely Jessica Stam on the front cover and i adore her, she really is everything a model should be in my eyes! And it was nice to see a cover shot of her again. This magazine as well as LOVE is really big and also has a second mini book with it that on Loreal and Central Saint Martins (I applied to their sister uni this year - London college of fashion!) which i had a flick through and the concepts are amazing and the finished looks show the high standard that is expected of that university.

When i get back from Berlin i will have a proper read and give you my reviews!
