And another thing...



SOMETHING else I stumbled upon earlier today that really caught my eye; Love magazine (pretty well known for their controversial covers) have launched an interesting concept for their bi annual third edition.

Issue three; the Fashion Icons issue has eight different covers with eight models who represent the ideal of beauty in fashion today - including Kate Moss, Lara Stone and Naomi Campbell - all pretty much naked!.

"For this issue of LOVE, we took eight women who are generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world, got them to show off their bodies - widely regarded as the most perfect in the world - and photographed them all in exactly the same position for the cover," LOVE's editor-in-chief Katie Grand told VOGUE.COM. "We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements."

"The point is that 'perfection' is not fixed, timeless or transcendent," Grand - who put Beth Ditto on the cover of the first ever issue of LOVE - explained. "It varies, as the measurements of our cover girls show."

The eight covers, photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, will go on sale in one week's time - Monday February 8 - priced £5. Visit www.thelovemagazine.co.uk for more information on the issue.

Totally amazing!



To celebrate Alexa Chung being Vogue's cover girl for this month, they've set up a truly amazing blog so you can snoop on what she's wearing every single day for the next month. :)

'Alexa Chung's Fashion Choices' was set up on vogue.com so that the television presenter / fashion icon / cover girl could send daily pictures from her mobile phone, with a little bit of info about her fashion choices for that day.

I think not only is this a really nice way for people to use Chungs style to influence their own wardrobes but also makes excellent use of the technology available these days.
