The Origin of Monsters

While I have a few magazines that I pick up whenever I can find on newsstands, I have been branching out recently with unknown issues that catch my eye. I am an avid collector of Lula, Frankie, and oh comely. But, as a treat to myself when I am particularly tired or having a long day, I have taken to splurging every couple months on a lovely magazine and reading it at a cafe with a hot cup of coffee. 

LOVE Magazine caught my eye with the title and ornate fuchsia font. It is immense: weighing what feels like five pounds, the glossy pages packed with designer editorials and fresh artist interviews. The Origin of Monsters was my favourite editorial from the S/S 2012 issue. I am in love with the androgynous beauty of stunning model Kristen McMenamy. I think the second photo down is my favourite, but there is something to be admired in the almost ludicrous opulance of the Christian Dior armour in the fourth photo. The peach, gold, and brass tones beautifully offset the pale luster of the model's skintone. The haunting mood set by the lighting and insect segments contrasted with the fine garments were a combination that really did it for me.

I've never actually posted an editorial before! What do you guys think? Should I do this more often?

I say yes to your question, if it's a really cool editorial. This one hits the spot, such amazing body armour! Oh dear...I wish I could get my hands on LOVE magazine now.
