Cover Wars: Nyasha Matonhodze by Mert & Marcus for LOVE #6 Fall/Winter 2011

Nyasha Matonhodze by Mert & Marcus

This week's cover features Love Magazine's Fall/Winter Cover. The issue is titled Strangely Romantic, and I think it's the perfect name. I love this image of Nyasha. From the crow headpiece to the eyeliner tears, it really does evoke a sense of fallen grace, and reluctant beauty. What do you think? Do you like the cover? Would you pick this up off a newsstand?

Cover Wars: Steven Chee for the Ellery Gazette

Steven Chee for the Ellery Gazette 

i posted the full feature editorial for this cover the other night, and i have to say that i am in love with both halves of this project. 
nudes are not new to this blog in any way shape or form, but what i love about this nude editorial, is the deliberate attempt to make it darker and more sexual. 
fashion is always getting all "high art" about nudity, and that's fine and great, but sometimes you do just want to be naked for the sake of it. because it's sexy and enticing. i love that this editorial didn't shy away from that. it's a great set of work and definitely one of my more recent favourites.

Cover Wars: Melissa Yung by Rendel Gonzales for Trinidad Lookbook

Melissa Yung by Rendel Gonzales

 Bespoke gown by Meiling
Accessories by LoudbyAfiya and Peter Elias. 
Makeup by Renee The Bon Williams. 
Styled by Jennerlee Ramnarine and Nakita Hyatali.

Trinidad Lookbook's new cover was released today and it's stunning! but what can I say, things are always better in june :) i haven't loved any of their covers this much since their august issue, so i'm definitely excited. it's also just fun for me because i don't get a lot of opportunities to cover Trinidad fashion,  so it's definitely amazing to see the finished product after so many talented people come together. 

in any case, do enjoy and stay tuned for the full editorial. while you wait, check out trinidad lookbook's past editorials on their editorial blog.
