W Magazine April 2013
Vappu is around the corner, and W magazine April issue
is actually very May Day. From the cover I immediately recognize actor Eddie
Redmayne, whose face appears on the magazine shelves almost every month due to
the success of Les Misérables, but
since The Shepherd(2006) and Savage Grace(2007), I know this Cambridge graduate
will be discovered by media gracefully rather savagely.
Brit Marling’s golden-red curly hair,
pale-procelain skin, half-melancholiac look, black-ink eyeliner and ash-apricot
lips surprise me at her virgin W cover shoot, once I even mistook her as Lana
Del Ray. From the interview by Lynn Hirschberg, we know that this skeptic
usually co-writes and co-produces her films she performs at, and this veggie
uses canvas bags but leather wears, and points out that even people sometimes
are doubtful, but movies ‘can show you something new and wake you up’(W,
p.123).
W’s magazine
target concept is ‘excitement’, indeed W group also introduces readers fresh
faces of artists in 2013, my personal favourites are jewelry designer Annelise Michelson,
actress Imogen Poots (Jane Eyre 2011) and fashion designer Guillaume Henry. With
length 32.8cm and width 25.5cm layout, W excites me on every page turn, and
after all, the size and design always a great deco on my magazine shelf.
What and Who will be Fashion's next big things?? YOU Decided.
