Oh Comely Magazine

Hiding behind the Vogues, Tatlers and Elle Magazines at WHSmith, I discovered this unexpected treasure: oh comely. Here is how they describe themselves... It is a magazine that makes people smile, full of quiet moments and stories. Read it with a cup of tea or a toddy. It inspires people to be creative, talk to their neighbours and explore new things. There are adventures that capture the feeling of being free, stories from people with tales to tell, recipes to warm your heart, and crafty things to make. All these things, wrapped up in beautiful words, illustration and photography. oh comely is published six times a year, available in over a thousand nice places in the UK as well as internationally. Issue ten is out now.

Elza Luijendijk in Ben Toms photoshoot for Dazed & Confused

Following on from Damien Hirst's exhibition at the Tate Modern, where Hirst filled a white gallery room with hundreds of butterflies, only for them to die there a few days later, Dazed & Confused have produced this editorial covering the model's face with the colourful insects. At once beautiful and intriguing, but slightly disturbing when it comes to the last image.

Nostalgic: Kate King by Arno Frugier for Interview Russia May 2012

Set on an abandoned estate, these photographs by Arno Frugier are reminiscent of Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1984 film, “Nostalgia”. A beautiful but haunting background for a high fashion editorial of Chanel and Valentino pieces.
