I received my newest issue of Lucky magazine and I have to say, " I like it...a lot!"
I didn't want to like it too much. I still have some allegiance towards Kim France and Andrea Linnet so I didn't want to think the "new" Lucky would be better....BUT I really really loke it.
So far it's pretty darn good. I can really see Ms. Holley's personality all over the pages...There's just something kinda quirky, fresh, witty...about the copy in each feature....
I love all the advice I've been given already....like blow drying my hair side to side! Brilliant! Genius! Why hadn't I thought of that before??? It's just a fun issue and there's meat to it.
For the past few years I strayed from Lucky because the features just didn't wow me. I didn't like any of the clothes being modeled---too boho for me, perhaps? Maybe it was also the state of fashion for the past few years because I haven't been too crazy with some of the looks.
I loved Lucky when it first came out and for the next 3-4 yrs I was an avid reader and subscriber...but around 2005-6 they lost me. I still liked the structure of the mag, but the clothes/accessories didn't do it for me. I think the only feature that's stayed consistent throughout the 10 yrs has been the beauty segments. Those have been very strong throughout and maybe that's why Jean Godfrey-June is still around.
So maybe change is a good thing.
Any thoughts on the topic???
Uh oh...I did similar post on this yesterday :)
