I do resent being overly critical about fashion magazines as they must take a mountain of time and effort to produce, but in what could be thought of as an over-saturated market, they need the fashion mag X-Factor. And as a metaphorical Simon Cowel, I'm giving Lurve Magazine the thumbs up. Not only do I like the handy smaller format (mmm, formats) the content is also rather good. Highlights for me are the escapist New Mexico photos by Pamela Love & Jordan Sullivan and a very vintage fashion story shot by Marine Braunschvig. The general feeling is less glossy airbrushed (literally, actually, as the paper is lovely matt finish) more hazy and intangible.
Lurve can be found at Artwords, Broadway Market.
