A Very Italian LURVE
Truisms, the just-hit-newsstands fourth and latest issue of high-concept LURVE, is positively packed with Italian talent. The slick, hard-edged editorial by 2DM’s Vicky Trombetta and Matthew Josephs that we previously shared can be seen here in all its printed glory. Otherwise, this issue is dripping with fantastic work by other Italian hotshots, including fashion photographers Carlotta Manaigo, Giulia Noni, Matteo Montanari Bastien Lattanzio, as well as work from other fashion faces including Mauricio Nardi and Elisa Lusso.
As to be expected, the thick paper dream is packed to the gills with gorgeousness (even non-Italian gorgeousness), including a tongue-in-cheek editorial by photog Tyrone Lebon and stylist Max Pearman (gloriously entitled ‘My Mad Bad Dad’) and some typically dreamy images by Vivienne Sasson. Interviews with Kris Van Assche, Olof Breuning and others are treats, along with a few elegiac verses from Nietzsche and a series of haunting 1970s images from the late, great American Photographer Francesca Woodman’s time spent in Rome. 2DM/ remains a solid supporter of the project, and we’re overjoyed to see so much Italy artistry on its pages. Ci vediamo per il prossimo numero!
