LOVE IS SHOWN FOR NAOMI, KATE, LARA AND FIVE OTHER ICONIC MODELS

Eight top models take on LOVE magazine, appearing each on a cover sans clothes.

World Wide Web – LOVE magazine’s theme for its third issue celebrates Fashion Icons, and they select eight of those icons — Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Lara Stone, Amber Valletta, Natalia Vodianova, Daria Werbowy, Jeneil Williams and Kristen McMenamy — to appear each on a cover with nothing on but their lady bits “taped,” while they hold exercise cables. The magazine’s editor-in-chief Katie Grand 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.” She also added that they wanted to show how different physically each model is from one another and to do so they printed the models’ measurements. “The point is that ‘perfection’ is not fixed, timeless or transcendent. It varies, as the measurements of our cover girls show,” Grand said. Each cover was shot by the talented Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. LOVE’s third issue hits the newsstands on Feb. 8. Check out for more of the covers after the jump. [StyleList, LOVE]
