LOVE
Background Information:
LOVE is a bi-annual British style magazine founded by stylist and fashion journalist Katie Grand in 2009.
The first cover in 2009 featured American singer-songwriter Beth Ditto, naked. Later covers have featured Kate Moss, Justin Beiber and Minnie Mouse!
Despite its glossy pages, the magazine has a raw look. Black-and-white photography dominates, and most of the color photography has a muted palette, as if the pictures have aged and faded. Some images are clearly fashion photography; others are more like inventive snapshots. Nudity is plentiful in many styles, from the almost pornographic to the breathtakingly artistic.

Katy Grand is the editor of LOVE which she launched herself. She styles many fashion shoots and shows including Giles and Unique at Topshop. She has also worked on fashion shows for Louis Vuitton and Prada.

The Articles:
The next issue has been heavily promoted even though it isn’t on newsstands until September of 2015! Kim hinted that we can expect a candid interview when she posted the cover to her Instagram on Jan. 26 with the caption, “This was probably my most fun interview for @TheLoveMagazine! Thank you @caradelevingne! I really hope our jokes come out normal when seen on paper lol.”
Overall Fashion Influence:
Love doesn't follow fashion - it sets fashion's agenda. Love magazine is an inspiration - for designers, for artists, for anyone looking for visual ideas, for anyone who loves fashion and design.
