It might just be a good PR stunt, it might just be because of the extra income generated, or it might be a request from loads of readers, either way there are many publications now that bring out multi-covers to one issue. Love magazine has done it before and is due to do the same for the next issue, and now Glamour, one of the leading women's monthlies, is joining the bandwagon!
For their September issue, often thought to be the most important of the year for a monthly fash mag, Glamour will have eight spangly covers. There's more people... this will be the mag's first ever regional issue and all eight will have the fab, energetic, animated face of Katy Perry on them dressed in a tee designed for each city by design duo Antoni & Alison.
Antoni & Alison are synonymous with all things fun in fashion. A lot of their collections include the fascinating technique of trompe l'oeil mixed with fun graffiti style slogans and kooky prints and colours. PERFECT one would say to capture the personality of Katy Perry and Glamour!
Antoni & Alison have said that: "In 1987 we started with a T shirt... it's part of our history. We have always known it's power and amazing ability to communicate. We love Glamour magazine for asking us and letting us do what we do best... be spontaneous... so we created this set of souvenir pieces of places we love for the Ultimate Cover Girl."
All eight t-shirts will be available from the website, www.antoniandalison.co.uk for one month only. Get clicking!
