INTERNATIONAL
L’Officiel (Spain), September 2015
This “Kate the Great” cover is actually a really great Kate Moss cover — when you think about it! It’s not only a cool #throwback, but “her latest feature might be her most personal yet”, as the first issue of L’Officiel in Spain features an ’80s yearbook photo of her. And it’s really grabbing the attention and headlines for this debut! Read more here.
Volkskrant Magazine, 22 August 2015
According to CoverJunkie, the cover reads:
“Horny?”
“You?”
And it’s also asks the question, “What about sex after forty?”
I’m loving the little graphic and image, and the simplicity yet boldness of it all. And, of course, it’s very relevant, what with all the hook-up apps and sites out there, where conversation is kept very short, but not always that sweet…
Zeit Magazin, 27 August 2015
South African
Golf Digest (South Africa), September 2015
Golf Digest has really had some amazing covers recently, but this one, as it’s done specifically for the South African issue, it’s worth a mention. It features SA-born Justin Rose, though it’s the clever use of lines, circles and objects that draws my eye (to his!).
SA Rugby, September 2015
I’ve included it because the overall cover is powerful and jumps right out at you with great colour combos and, of course, the sexy cover-candy!
Oh, and if you’re Afrikaans, you should be extra-excited, as there’s now also an Afrikaans issue!

MagLove by @MediaSlut is a regular slot featuring the best local and international magazine covers every week, recognising well thought-out, powerful and interesting (and hopefully all three-in-one) covers and celebrating the mix of pragmatism, creativity and personal taste that created each of them. The (for now anonymous) blogger behind MediaSlut knows way too much for his own good about media in South Africa, magazines in particular. His mission is to show when SA magazines fail but, most importantly, also when they succeed. If you’re looking for a library about SA magazines and news, this is your one-stop pitstop.
