Love Magazine Autumn/Winter Issue: Review

This week when I was out shopping I decided to treat myself to a fashion magazine, they are an amazing source of inspiration, especially since I am starting university soon I will need to be reading lots of magazines. Love magazine is mesmerizing to me, full of really creative fashion editorials, in depth interviews where you really get a feel of a person and super cute doodles all over the pages. The makeup is colourful, crazy and fun. Love is definitely not your average magazine.


I love how each issue has a theme. The Autumn/Winter theme is goths and youth, and the whole issue runs wild with the theme. The styling and photography is so beautifully done and has got me right in the mood for Halloween. The stand out article was Margot Robbie and Cara Delevinge interviewing each other. It was no typical interview though, they chatted away about famous people they had in their phone and the weirdest place they'd ever had sex. It really made you want to be their best friends.

I'm such a big nerd when it comes to LETTERING. The flowers twisting round the Love logo is so intricate, and this sort of detailing is what makes the design of the magazine so beautiful.

In the magazine the photography is quite often weird and unusual. I love the two different colours of lipstick on this photograph, it's a really striking, strange image. So I love that this is the contents page so it really gives you a feel for the magazine.

The photoshoot with models licking and biting certain objects is probably my favourite photoshoot in the whole issue. It shows the glossiness of the lipstick and is the sort of thing that would be considered too dirty or disgusting to be in another magazine, but Love really pushes the boundaries and it's really interesting to look at.

The gothic styling in this issue is so magical.

Black and white shots can be really stunning and remind me of old Hollywood movie stills. A lot of the photographs are really atmospheric and look almost like candid shots.

This photoshoot with Kaia Gerber was great because the styling and scenery was very casual and summery. Several of the shots were taken on the beach and with sun setting, so it had a really beachy feel to it.
I love grungey makeup and hair, definitely something I will be experimenting more with in Autumn.


DOGS!!!!!! "humans, why have you put this sheet over us to try and be artsy. The things I go through in my dog modelling jobs, it's all worth it in the end because I get sausage" - what I imagine the dogs might say in this shot. Very well done great modelling doggos.

To sum up, Love is probably the best fashion magazine out there, and there are dogs in this issue. Golden Retrievers as well. Enough said, I think.
