A few weeks ago we gave you a sneak preview of Love Magazine’s new covers featuring a range of supermodels including Lara Stone and Natalia Vodianova in the buff.

And if you loved them as much as we did then you’ll be pleased to hear the pictures aren’t going to disappear anytime soon, instead they’ll be making a far more public appearance.

Gap has created seven styles of grey cotton T-shirt, each bearing a cover from spring/summer 2010′s Fashion Icons issue in aid of the DEC Haiti Earthquake Appeal.

Profits from the £30 t-shirts featuring the full set up of Naomi Campbell, Jeneil Williams, Kristen McMenamy and Daria Werbowy, will see the full on-sale price go towards the DEC Appeal.

However Kate Moss has asked that all profits from T-shirts featuring her image go to a UK children’s charity.

Many of us have a fashion icon that we look up to in some way or other. Sometimes its lusting over their hair, sometimes we want their eyes (not literally) and other times we wish we had their figures.

Love Magazine obviously agrees with us because for its third bi-annual edition its created eight different covers each showing a different model, who are claimed to represent our ideal of beauty in the fashion industry.

The models shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott include Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Lara Stone, Jeneil Williams, Amber Valletta, Daria Werbowy, Kristen Mcmenamy and Natalia Vodianova.

Katie Grand, editor-in-chief at Love, told Vogue: “For this issue of LOVE, we took eight women who are generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world, got them to show off their bodies – widely regarded as the most perfect in the world – and photographed them all in exactly the same position for the cover.

“We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements.”

The magazine hits news shelves on 8 February.

Happy Valentines Day! Shiny sends it’s LOVE. Hearting the photography in Katie Grand’s new magazine, like Adriana Lima looking less Victoria’s Secret and more high fashion. Nice.

Some people are a bit disappointed that Katie Grand’s LOVE magazine sort of ripped off Beth Ditto’s 2007 NME cover, but our Kim Foster is in love with LOVE’s debut cover. Here’s what she had to say…

OMFG! So it’s no secret that Beth Ditto was hand-picked by Katie Grand to be LOVE magazine’s first cover girl, but we had no idea that she was going to bare all for the job. The sensational Gossip singer has stripped off a second time to launch the debut issue of LOVE (the last time was for NME in 2007). Advanced copies are set to hit Dover Street Market and Harvey Nichols from Saturday now instead of today because apparently they are still being printed. Although if you’re in the area, it’s worth a look.

What do you think of Beth’s ballsy cover? Comment below.

Another new magazine from a fashion favorite?

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on January 21st, 2009

While many of us eagerly await ex-Pop magazine editor Katie Grand’s new venture, LOVE (and a Beth Ditto cover for the Feb. 19 launch?), we have news of a Brit defect.

Rumor has it that designer Luella Bartley could be branching out into the publishing biz.

Fashionista claims that the British designer is currently recruiting stylish folks in New York for editorial shoots, to be photographed inside posh Manhattan abodes. A Teen Vogue ex-staff member is believed to be styling the shoots and that is all the dirt that has been dug up so far.

So, what to do we think? Would we like to have Luella oversee her own magazine? Um… yes please. Peaches who?
