My first thought about each of the covers that Love magazine leaked online was ‘wow this is really beautiful’. They all drew upon the unique otherworldly beauty of the cover model, very fitting for the Supernatural issue. The initial images featured Elle Fanning, Chloe Moretz, Hailee Steinfeld, which suggested a newcomer/delicate ingenue theme. This notion was quashed with a tweet from Derek Blasberg breaking the news that Lara Stone, Mariacarla Boscono, Kristin McMenamy, Nyasha Matonhodze and Daphne Groeneveld also had covers. It’s rare for covers to show emotion, let alone such tearful and melancholic emotions. I like it. I also got to thinking (like Carrie Bradshaw) about gimmicks and signatures. Love always has multiple covers and releases them to much online hype and discussion but is this a gimmick or their signature? Would we all be talking about them so much if there was a single image to pour over?
