Hmmmmmm well it was the first cover I noticed when I was strutting past my beloved corner newsstand to the sounds of this mornings soundtrack (longest road - morgan page deadmau5 mix) but on closer inspection I am a little bit head cocked slightly to the left, squinty eyes and quizzical brow.You see I like the cover I do. It's simple and stylish but kind of reminds me of the newspaper lift out Wish and maybe they are going for a more newsy type of aesthetic it would explain the blink and you'll miss it headers in grey, yes grey and yet they are then using a watercolour and tie-dyed text palette for it's headlines.
It may be my mood but the articles seem to lack that certain something that makes me want to read more, after a column or two I'm impatiently flicking along for something else only to find more of the same same. Pieces on rock royalty, inside blah blah's closet (see I can't even remember who's closet it was) and yet another Aniston interview.
Then finally I reach an article with a bit of promise 'Gucci director, Frida Gianni tells Bazaar why music makes her clothing collections sing' however as I turn the page I am again disappointed because instead of an article exploring the inspiration that music can bring to a creative medium like design, it is a simple question an answer about Frida's record collection. Asking the hard hitting question's like 'Do you throw many parties and DJ at home?' or 'How many record's do you have?'. Violently flicking the page I get to Boy oh Boy or Boy oh BORING the most uninspiring fashion spread I have ever seen.
My mood is slightly lifted by the piece on Stella McCartney but all in all as I put down October's 'new look' issue next to last months Sienna cover, I feel like a woman who has just seen her recent holiday snaps and with utter disappointment realised, shit I've packed on the pounds.
