#27. October'11 covers

Key factors in the division of the October covers are going to be originality, unusual style and "fresh air" of the cover. In today's world, a lot of magazines pretend to cover upper middle class, middle class and lower middle class. Unfortunately, in reality they cover lower middle class, skilled working class and working class itself. All these bright and colourful standfirsts and headlines are just aimed at drawing attention to the cover. But what is more appreciated - if the cover just steal your attention itself, if it has a kind of magnetising spirit. I try everytime to look through enumerous number of covers in order to pick the greatest one, those that caught my attention for some particular reasons.

I have chosen this issue of Harper's Bazaar with Alexa Chung as the cover of my covers post. I love almost everything in it - plain and natural colours and opaque spirit of the photo. But what has drawn my attention in particular, right at the first glance, are THE EYES, this beautiful make-up in 60's style that makes her look rather innocent and a bit fragile.

This part of the October covers post is going to be devoted to those issues that I think are rather unusual comparing to the typical glitzy ones that I have not included in order not to make rubbish of my post and not to be misunderstood.
