This cool-looking cover is from a new Netherlands-based digital magazine called Ilovefake. The core readers of this bi-monthly fanzine are young teens and everything in between till about 40.
The magazine is really cool and written in English so we can all bedazzle ourselves with hot stories across fashion, art and culture.
Judging by these stylish fashion shoots, the photographic and styling edge of the magazine is strong and inspirational. We only hope the editorial content is as intriguing as well, and we'll surely be a committed online reader!

the gossip…
It seems the Metropolitan Museum's The Model as Muse exhibition, has well and truly catapulted the long-legged creatures back into the gossip stratosphere this week as every day a new story involving one model or another reaches us. From Raquel Zimmermann's bleach blonde locks to original supe Brooke Shields getting tangled up in some after-party fisty cuffs, models are stealing the column inches from the actresses who once stole their covers. Touché! Today, we hear that top dawg Kate Moss is set to accompany her money-spinning Topshop deal with an autobiography. Mossy will of course be backed by a British billionaire - but pal Philip Green will step aside as Richard Branson steps in. The Virgin book deal, said to be worth a cool £1 million, has been on the cards since 2006, but was put on hold while she rebuilt her career following the "Cocaine Kate" drugs scandal. Branson told the Daily Telegraph the book will "make an exciting read," adding that Kate "has led a celebrity life to the max." Here's hoping that with several turbulent rock and roll relationships under her belt, Kate will have more to say than, "Get the London look," between those salacious pages.
Also keeping the model rumour mill churning is Kendra Spears, the 20-year-old American beauty at the centre of a new lawsuit between feuding agency heavyweights Ford and Next. Spears, who is tipped as "the next Cindy Crawford", joins three other models and two bookers from Ford, from whom Next management allegedly poached her. Having recently secured gigs with Gucci, Hermès, Calvin Klein and a Vogue Italia cover, Spears was under an exclusive contract to Ford that is not due to end until 2010. "Signed as a prospect while still a teenager in braces… Ford has painstakingly cultivated Spears - literally, taught her how to be an international fashion model," says the lawsuit, according to NY Daily News. "She is a beautiful, fresh, all-American 'face' who, having been discovered by Ford, trained by Ford, and professionally developed by Ford, is at the precipice of a breakthrough." If only all brace-wearing teenagers were in such high demand… where would we be right now we wonder?

Acne Paper...
a bi-annual magazine that has joined the ranks of other established style titles that keep the fashion pack clucking.

With contributors such as Paris Vogue’s Carine Roitfeld, Mario Testino, Azzedine Alaia, Steven Meisel and Julie Verhoven (and that’s just naming a few) you’d think Acne Paper would have been created by a gaggle of skinny, Balenciaga clad Parisian fashion editors. Whilst it has been produced by a team of creatives with their pulses firmly on the high-fashion pulse, Acne Paper shares its brand with one of the world’s most sought after denim turned fashion labels, Acne. A well received mainline and collaborations with the likes of Lanvin have moved the brand from denim favourite to noted label in no time. So how could it be then that a brand could produce its own, decent magazine that speaks for fashion as a whole and not just itself? "The format of a magazine is what allowed us to reflect what inspired the brand and by doing so created a world around Acne" explains Thomas Persson of Acne HQ "It started off as something quite low key and fun but has turned out to be a highly successful publication. Interesting, provocative fashion articles are a plenty and interview subjects range from top name intellectuals to topless models. "For us, it’s very much about mixing history with contemporary’ says Thomas ‘merging high and popular culture, young and old, not to mention having a personal voice is important to us" and whilst Acne sits amongst fashion best, Acne Paper isn’t about stuffy luxury; ‘We aren’t about bling or showing off. We have a rather subtle aesthetic. "It starts with a mood and a set of aesthetics. When I edit, depending on what the issue is based on, I have a friend’s house in mind. Would it fit in there? For our new issue on Eroticism, we wanted to question porno chic in fashion and help return to sensuality in a good, romantic way."Don’t expect any Terry Richardson then. Porno chic or tradition, Acne Paper has covered it in their themed issues and with its loyal readership and fashion hardcore covers, the publication has come in to a light all of its own. Have a peek and you might even forget what funds it. Its own clothing label of course. After all, how fabulous would it be if all magazines had their own collections to boot?

the gossip...
As the rumours gather pace ahead of the Met's Costume Institute gala, it seems that Marc Jacobs is exerting his powers as co-chair to cherry-pick who sits at his table (who can blame him?). According to New York magazine blog The Cut, the newly-engaged designer is to be flanked by Madonna and Courtney Love, which in addition to guaranteeing a whole lotta ego on a single table, will no doubt lend an early-1990s flavour to proceedings (celebrity attendees reading this take heed of this when deciding what to wear). But in the midst of her current fashion moment, Ms Love has been bad-mouthing an apparently down-and-out Pamela Anderson. "Pam Anderson doesn't even have a credit card. And she lives in Paradise Cove -- which is in Malibu, but it's a trailer park in Malibu," she told PageSix.com. Ouch. But with residences at the trailer park apparently valued between $350,000 and $1m plus, we definitely wouldn't mind being Pammy's neighbour…
It seems not a day goes by without another mega-celeb donning a bit of Balmain. Those of you paying attention will remember that La Moss gave her official stamp of approval to Christophe Decarnin's autumn/winter collection on Wednesday night. And last night was the turn of Beyoncé Knowles, who sealed her position in the A-list fan club by wearing Balmain again. This time she wore a gown with a black sequinned bodice, thigh-skimming skirt and black train from the autumn/winter collection - rather aptly - to the New York screening of her film Obsessed. After a prolonged period of "safe" red-carpet choices, we rather hope all this sparkle marks a new era in adventurous premiere dressing. And this brings us rather neatly to none other than popstrel Miley Cyrus. There was hardly a hint of cookie-cutter bland last night as the tween idol stepped out in a metallic Hervé Léger by Max Azria embellished minidress complete with power shoulders. The occasion? The Hannah Montana: The Movie premiere in London. Surely no one saw that coming? It might not have been age-appropriate to your average Hannah Montana viewer, but we liked it very much indeed.

the gossip...
Matthew Williamson fever hit London last night as the designer's capsule collection for H&M hit London's Regent Street for a VIP shopping preview at H&M. The man of the moment could be spotted chatting to celeb fans including Mischa Barton, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Sienna Miller. Mischa and Rosie sported pieces from the capsule collection (embellished-waistcoat-and-jacquard-skirt combo and fuchsia shift respectively), while Sienna opted for a peach metallic minidress from Mr Williamson's latest mainline collection.
Pixie Geldof, Jaime Winstone, Amber Le Bon, Daisy De Villeneuve and Jade Parfitt could also be glimpsed rifling through the rails while nibbling asparagus and pineapple hollandaise canapés (sounds odd, tasted delicious). Certain members of the London party set were notably absent with Peaches, Daisy Lowe et al stateside for Coachella, but given how heaving the event was and the abundance of A-listers, we were grateful for the extra elbow room. And as Matthew Williamson for H&M fever hit London, the repercussions were global, with Miley Cyrus wearing a canary yellow embroidered top from the collection yesterday at a Madrid photocall for Hannah Montana: The Movie. Something tells us this collection is going to sell out very quickly indeed…
And on the subject of fashion hysteria, if there was any doubt that the autumn/winter 2009/10 Balmain collection will be anything but huge, Kate Moss sealed the deal last night by wearing a silver version of one of Christophe Decarnin's spangly thigh-skimming creations. The supe gave her official nod of approval to the current wave of Balmainia at London's Altitude 360 at the unveiling of White Light, which has been designed by jeweller Shaun Leane, for the De Beers diamond brand Forevermark. The queen of ultra-glam was joined by guests including Erin O'connor, Roland Mouret, Pam Hogg, Theo Fennell, David Walliams and, of course, pal Shaun Leane. Ms Moss joins the growing list of Balmain devotees, including Carine Roitfeld, Victoria Beckham and Michael Jackson. All that's left to hope for now is that Jacko is decked head-to-toe in Balmain for his upcoming tour…
