I took my chances buying this magazine the other day at WHsmith having never heard of it before and being worryingly close to (what I believe was) the 'gay and lesbian' section... I was actually pleasantly surprised as it had quite a collection of inspirational, stylised editorials inside. There is a refreshing appeal to this magazine as although it's no Vogue, you can really see the passion behind the work.
I particularly liked this editorial referencing Marlene Dietrich a la Film Noir, exaggerated with her amazingly long talons and exaggerated brows offering a postmodern alternative.
What's particularly interesting about this magazine is that it's actually directed towards high fashion and commercial hair styling. I'm impressed with the editorial quality of the images in comparison to the more generic hair magazines and love how they focus at the images as a constructed whole instead of ignoring the makeup, styling and photography which many tend to be guilty of doing!
