Love magazine has never been the shy and retiring type. Katie Grand’s directional publication under the Conde Nast label has just launched its third issue, and in true following of the naked form of Beth Ditto on the seminal cover, this edition comes in eight different designs, featuring the perfectly toned bodies of this generations hottest models.

Love have been carefully dropping a picture per day in the run-up to the big release date of the third issue, causing quite a hype in magazine-land. The shoot, orchestrated by talented duo Mert & Marcus, sees the eight girls – Kate, Naomi, Kristen, Amber, Natalia, Daria, Jeneil and Lara – striking identical poses without a scrap of couture to cover their dignity, emphasising the variations in body shape and form. Lara Stone, controversially deemed a larger model for being a massive size, erm, 4, looks amazing as always, showing that models CAN maintain the kinds of curves associated with mere mortal women.

The pictures are available to view in high res online at www.thelovemagazine.co.uk, whilst the magazine is on sale currently at Dover Street Market (and at Colette in Paris, should you be in the neighbourhood), and more widely as of tomorrow. A special collectors’ set of all 8 covers is available by dropping an email to info.love@condenast.co.uk
