As I mentioned here, V magazine’s covers and editorials have always been some of my favorite in the whole magazine world. The models picked are always top notch [and my personal faves]: Abbey Lee, Daria, Natalia Vodianova, etc. The covers are just such works of art, and I love them especially because I am such a fan of neon. The photography is iconic, and the palettes used are bold and electric, except for the black + white Abbey Lee one which stood out for exactly that reason. I have even more respect for the artistic director behind the covers, because it was such a genius choice for that particular cover. She is so insanely stunning and unique that it would have taken away from her beauty to have her face framed by a neon orange V. I love V covers so much…I may end up getting framed copies of my favorite covers and making some sort of wall montage. Perhaps my favorite one ever though, is the Natalia Vodianova one. I just love the combination of the shades of purple and green and the photography and her child-like face and frazzled platinum blonde crimped hair. Each cover sitting on my coffee table right now is like a little piece of pop art. Seriously– if you put ANY magazine on a table, V is going to be the best-looking one there. Not Purple, not Pop, not Nylon, not Jalouse, or W, or Vogue, or Elle, would compare. The only one that could even POSSIBLY rival the artistic genius and aesthetic of V covers, are Interview covers. But I don’t like the type of the word “Interview” used on those covers…it’s like a cursive. I like the bold, strong, graphic V. Scroll below and see for yourself.
Daria- the rainbow V and the red “V <3 Daria” is pretty amazing
Kate Moss– a cover made very famous because of the Maison Martin Margiela blonde hair coat she was wearing
Natalia- I love the pink-purple ‘glow’ V here
An unusual black and white cover for Abbey Lee
And to give you a sample of a pretty sick [but still not as good as V] Interivew cover, this recent one of Rihanna was rad. Her lips and red hair and criss-cross glittery straps and blue drop earrings and aviators together with the flowers [and her new tattoo- rebel fleur] made for a pretty dope combo.
